A LETTER FROM THE FARM

We didn't come to Costa Rica to start a business. We came to plant a forest — and the forest gave us açaí.

2020

CHAPTER 01

Leaving Barcelona

A couple from Spain and Brazil left the city in search of a place to live in deeper connection with nature.

The land

CHAPTER 02

Playa Hermosa de Uvita

On the South Pacific coast, 1.8 hectares, twenty minutes' walk from the sea. What we found was a monoculture of genetically modified pasture grass, treated with chemicals for many years.

By hand

CHAPTER 03

Building with the forest

We built our home in wood, a practice space in bamboo and natural palm, and later a wooden cabin to welcome guests.

Every season

CHAPTER 04

Planting a forest

Through agroforestry we plant fruit trees, master plants, medicinal plants and many kinds of bamboo. Slowly the pasture is becoming a forest of fruit — and the birds have returned.

Today

CHAPTER 05

The açaí

Among those trees grow our açaí palms. We harvest by hand and share the fruit: grown here, for our family and for everyone who comes after us.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Give the forest space
and life returns.

Our main focus is to reforest this land and protect it from the chemicals that were present for so long — growing our own food and medicine, organically and naturally.

¡Vamos todos a plantar floresta! Aho!
