Description
We are a family of 4, living our best life on our offgrid homestead farm in Belize.
we left the hustle and bustle of city life in search of a slower and healthier lifestyle to raise our kids and live healthier lives. our homestead is offgrid and as sustainable as were able to make it so far, (always improving) we grow many things, avocado's, mangoes, jackfruit, bananas, pineapples, papayas, spices, like ginger, vanilla, cacao, coffee, cinnamon and all sorts of edible and medicinal things, a few animals, chickens for eggs and meat, guard dog and cats, oh and honey bees too,
we built our own home and cultivated our land ourselves with our own hands, in cost effective and sustainable ways, our buildings use a mixture of stone, rammed earth and recycled wood, (and some modern stuff too)
we also make and sell a mixture of natural products around Belize including natural hair and skin care, food and herbal supplements, herb teas, honey and bee products, and all sorts of other natural things sourced from our farm. (the list is ever expanding) we home school our kids, host retreats, travel all over, manage online businesses (we have decent WiFi! ) and continue to develop our little farm, we are currently building two studio style accommodations among a few other building projects, expanding our farm and our local product offerings.
there is always lots to do, and help is always welcome, with a large array of tasks, anything from gardening and land maintenance to building projects, cooking, helping make products, online marketing, and social media, helping with the kids, and lots more.
we are happy to share the knowledge and skills that we have and appreciate any help we can get,
we are a few minutes drive away from the Caribbean sea and from the town of Corozal, there is much exploring to do here and some adventures to be discovered!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
One of the main things that drew us to belize is the rich history, heritage and diversity in its people and landscape. There are various mayan temples, just minutes drive from the farm. There are creole, garifuna and mestizo people to learn from. We are about 1 hour and a half from mexico, making learning and exploring a absolute breeze. You will be able to learn how to set up and maintain a sustainable life with limited budget, using all that is around you with knowledge that has been around for generations.
