The 3 Amigos Team harvests the shoots (baby agave) from mature agave plants. We pull these shoots around 6- 10 months and are planted soon after. Before the shoots are planted they are left unrooted for a week, if the agave looks weak then the plant will not be used. Growing our own agave, we ensure that the plant will withstand the conditions of the region it grows in. The agave is maintained organically without the use of harmful chemicals like pesticides and herbicides. These little shoots have a long way to go, approximately 5-7 years! These shoots will eventually grow up to 200 lbs in size.
