Better Together
The Vision
The vision of Club Tukã is to foster business and social relationships among member Tukadores by developing a unity of purpose through the teaching of sustainable practices that strengthen the community by working and living in harmony with nature.
The Membership
Membership in Club Tukã is by invitation only. While prospective members, or “Tukadores” as they are known at the Club, might first apply for membership in Club Tukã for the purpose of finding an outlet for the sale of their yerba mate, they soon discover that Club membership provides much, much more!
For example, if a Tukador’s yerba mate has not yet received the necessary certifications to meet Tukã’s quality expectations, the Club’s Tukã Academy steps in to help that member transition their product to Tukã’s more exacting standards. What’s more, Team Tukã will either buy, or help facilitate the sale of the member’s non-conforming crop during the transition to lessen any negative economic impact the member might otherwise experience.
Farming is hard work; but when the work is done, it’s time to have some fun. At Club Tukã, we believe hard work and fun go hand in hand and serve only to strengthen the community. We’ll say it again – we aren’t looking for a “one and done” purchase of yerba mate. We’re here for the long term, and Club Tukã is tangible evidence of that fact.
We’ve taken a key step by purchasing 37 acres of real estate in Ciudad de Edelira and Capitán Meza on which we plan to build administrative and Club offices, the Tukã Academy and other Club Facilities.
