Description
We have an organic fruit farm on the Pacific in Nayarit Mexico. It's not very touristy yet. Our village economy is fish and mangos. Wally began the planting of trees 34 years ago. He and Amaranth have been living gently on this property for 20 years. It is a refuge to many types of animals, and plants. Wally is a master mechanic, inventor and electronic wizard. Amaranth is an artist, a children's teacher of ecology, a practitioner of the Enneagram, Homeopathy and a founder and volunteer for a monthly sterilization clinic for dogs and cats. We are committed to the community here, founders and supporters of the Winter farmer's market , the cultural center and the animal project.

What else ...
The best way to our farm is via our state capital Tepic, Nayarit by bus or if flying the closest airport is Puerto Vallarta 100 miles south of us. Our farm is on the edge of wildness so be the kind of person who can live with snakes, iguanas, scorpions and insects. Frankly, we rarely have encounters of the wild kind since we are also a refuge for dogs, but we want to give a full and open disclosure. We live on the edge of a jungle! It's very hot in the summer months with rain and storms at night. We adore the wildness and innocence of this place. It is a rare treat for the adventuresome and for those who need natural beauty to feed their soul, It is not suited for those with a high need for social extroversion, though there is an abundance of meaningful, stimulating interaction. There are two other families who also live here. Find a place in the flow of life here on the farm.
