Cactus Product Reviews

Now that you know all about nopal benefits, what products are available? Where can you get them? And, do they work?

Lauren

Hi! My name is Lauren! Many products you use are available with a healthier twist of Cactus. But without more reviews and practical information it can be hard to navigate which purchases are worth the money and time. I love exploring and comparing unique items.

I am new to using cactus products so these trials have been fun and a huge learning experience. I will be going through a variety of items so please read along!

I’m an accountant by day. German Shepherd walker by evening. I love to read books, blogs, and have just recently started to write. Being a guest on this blog has been amazing!

Veronica

Hello again! My name is Veronica, and West Camp Nopal is my brain child. What originally started as a side project quickly blossomed into an actual farm. Growing up in the country gave me the confidence to pursue this venture, but having spent more than half my life in the city made me realize I have a lot to learn! Every aspect of this adventure has been a learning experience and an exciting journey!

Fortunately the nopal is a very low maintenance plant but being the first to build a farm in an area where it has never been done is interesting. Join me on this blog to learn how it all began, challenges, ideas and daily life on the farm.
