We are located at the heart of San Marcos La Laguna in the sacred Lake Atitlan with our community cabins and restaurant located right at the pier of the town. We had also have 400 acres of farmland in Chicacao roughly 12km down the hill from the lake with natural springs volcanic soil, and mature fruit trees. Located in the highland (750~1500m altitude) of Guatemala just below the Lake, the tropical climate is ideal for avocado, banana, cacao, mango, coconuts, coffee, mamey sapote, papaya, and much more. The farm has many mature fruit trees and were in production many years ago, it was the home of over 100 people during its peak. This is at the very beginning stage of rejuvenating the farm, with similar projects and eco-villages already underway in Ecuador. Our plan is to build a permaculture, non-hierarchically, and consensus community that is self sovereign. We are looking for like-minded individuals to join and share a healthy alternative lifestyle.
A secondary, though equally important project, is to convert the existing restaurant to a RAWTOPIAN plant-based cultured Super Food Mecca sourced with organic fruits and veggies from our farm (starseed village). To further that end, any individuals talented in food recipe design and implementation of Raw menus definitely welcome!! We plan to raise awareness also through diet and teach proper food prep as my mentor Lou Corona taught me over 12 years ago when I made my first cultured almond yogurt and lemon ginger blast curing me of all arthritis and candidas in less than 3 weeks! (Lou is now 71 and still looks late 30s!-find him on YouTube! And myself Jay Kaiser with my top 10 health tips on fruit-powered)
