Either I or my caretaker Digna will be available to assist you during your stay. She speaks limited English but I am always available by phone. The only sounds you will hear are those of nature and farm workers.
The neighborhood is a close knit rural community. You can choose to interact with the community by participating in activities undertaken by the community. We can coordinate with guests, upon request. Otherwise the property is situated on a private piece of land, and you will likely not interact with anybody aside from my caretaker and farmhand.
There is a pulperia (very small convenience store) just 1 km. from the farm.
The farm is certified under Pago por Servicios Ambientales, FONAFIFO, an initiative that pays farm owners, such as myself, for protecting forest.

My caretaker speaks limited English and I am not always on the property, but you can always reach me by phone.

We can arrange activities upon request, based upon availability, including horseback riding, diary processing and cheese making, oxcart ride, coffee harvesting, sugar cane processing, tortilla making lessons, orchid garden and more.

The farm is on the transition process to being certified this 2019 as an ORGANIC FARM. There are fruit trees, banana and plantain plantations, medicinal herb garden, root crops, vegetables.
Lombricomposting is an important activity. Banana peels, cardboard and goat manure are the principal input for the worms.
Biochar is made from fallen forest wood and used for composting.
Composting is done mainly with materials found at the farm: manure, leaves, biochar, mountain microorganisms. We try to use as much available material at the farm for the different processes involved.
We have a greenhouse for our vegetable crops and harvested water is used on all plants.
