Hello,
We are a French metalheads family living in Costa Rica : Gwenola, Yotam and our 4 years old son Sabbath. We have a dog (Brume), a cat (Zombie) and two sheeps (Nina Hagen and Siouxie and the Bansheep).
We both have certification in permaculture and our goal is to create an edible forest.
We are creating our paradise in the mountains, reforesting pastures with a lot of fruit trees.
We also grow organic veggies, have worm compost, make mountain microorganisms, preserve seeds. We cook a lot, mostly vegetarian. We make fermented food and drinks, bread, yogurt, french cheeses, mead etc... We aim to become a "zero waste" family.
We live in a super quiet place but not isolated : we live between San Ramon (15 minutes drive) and la Fortuna (1h30). The bus stops at 5 minutes by walk. If you go in direction of la Fortuna at 15 minutes drive there are touristic activities like butterfly garden, bungee jumping, canopy tour...

Hola,
Somos una familia francesa de metaleros viviendo en Costa Rica : Gwenola, Yotam y nuestro hijo Sabbath (4 years old). Tenemos un perro (Brume), una gata (Zombie) y dos ovejas (Nina Hagen and Siouxie and the Bansheep).
Ambos tenemos certificacion en permacultura y nuestro objectivo es de crear un bosque comestible.
Estamos creando nuestro paraiso en las montañas, reforestando repastos con arboles frutales, cultivando organico. Tenemos un lombricompostaje, hacemos microorganismos de montaña, conservamos las semillas criollas. Cocinamos mucho en mayoria vegetariano y hacemos comida y bebidas fermentadas, pan, yogurt, quesos franceses, hidromiel etc... Estamos en un enfoque de "cero basura" y de autonomia.
Vivimos en un lugar super tranquilo pero no aislado entre San Ramon (15 minutos en carro) y la Fortuna (1h30). La parada de autobus esta a 5 minutos. A 15 minutos hay actividades turisticas como mariposario, salto en bungee, canopy tour...
