  Descripción

  I was a petroleum engineer from Wyoming USA but now retired living in Costa Rica. The picture with me is my granddaughter. I want to be as independent as possible, so I bought a 19 hectares farm and built my off-grid house with solar panels and batteries. I built a good size orchard with, oranges, lemons, limes, avocados, figs, bananas, papayas and many other fruit trees. I also have a few cows. My plan is to get more cows, and some pigs and chickens also make a garden for vegetables. Anyone interested in learning this way of live come to Costa Rica! You will have a nice place to stay!
