 The vineyard and garden "La Vertientes" (meaning "The Slopes") has become the premiere industrial flower garden that exports flowers and seeds to Europe, particularly to Germany.Their owner, Carlos Steinhoff von Bohlen, married Amalia Silva Neale and began work in the 1950s, becoming a pioneer in the commune in this non-traditional export trade.In the Maule Region, principle exports are wine and fruits such as apples and grapes.
