Description
We have a 30 acre farm it’s a beautiful little farming community near the south Pacific region of Costa Rica. We are in the process of reforestation and planting and maintaining a fruit forest. We are up in the mountains in what is clearly Paradise. This is a small tranquil ranching and farming community with the population of just a two hundred people it’s one of the few places left in Costa Rica that you can experience the raw authentic beauty of the people in the country. We are right on the Savegre River known as the most pristine river in Costa Rica. We currently have lots of different kinds of fruit trees looking to expand trails and do routine maintenance maybe even help construct some new cabins.
