The first settlement took root

We are the first fruity family in a new area that we discovered a few years ago for its agriculture potential. We established our farm in 2021.

The location is South Pacific Costa Rica, the closest town is Ciudad Neily. The climate is hot tropical, ideal for the fruit tree profile that we like to grow, with an elevation of 35 meters above sea level. We have abundant rain of varying intensity throughout a 9 month rainy season, with the typical rainy days still bringing a few hours of sunshine in the morning hours.

Diet

🍌 social life is organized around fruits

🍍 simple fruit based raw vegan life is easy and supported

🥑 children can grow up experiencing fruit diet as normal choice around them

🥭 we celebrate with fruits and raw salads

 

We understand that everyone’s path is different and there are different phases during our raw vegan / fruitarian / 80/10/10 journey.

Starting a Fruit Homestead is challenging in the beginning as most fruits take a few years to produce. We accept reality and see that in times involving limited simple steamed / cooked tubers and vegetables can be a valid compromise.

We support to source food from markets especially in the first period, so maintaining a raw diet from the beginning is also possible.

 

We celebrate with fruits and raw salads even if we navigate with some cooked veggies until our fruit production starts or any other reason.

Families who choose to involve steamed / cooked meals in their diet value that community time is raw and fruit based.

We create a neighborhood with families who understand that their health is their responsibility.

We accept different choices during everyone’s family life.

We have rules to the community events and these can be guidelines for personal diet choices.
