I hope to meet Geoff McCabe who has been living in CR for 10 years, and has various projects on the Nicoya Peninsula, on the Pacific Ocean. His main project is Rancho Delicioso, a 20 acre project, and a group involved in community living, and developing adequate food plants for the area. I am i...

Last weekend was the most amazing time at Chaitraban, till today! I could feel the breeze on my face which was fragrant with the aroma of the fruits and vegetables, the sweet smell of the night jasmine and fresh mint in the air was mesmerising.There was a romantic feel about the way the monsoon c...

For a better future, living with nature, re-creating an holistic ecosystem including Poly-culture of fruit, vegetable, herbs, medicinal plants, wild foods and animals and humans, with Eco-friendly architecture (including earth-bag buildings, solar energy systems) designing and developing new prod...

Received my design certificate from Geoff in person last night in Sacramento, CA!  Geoff is a real down to earth guy It was a pleasure to finally shake the hand of my teacher for these many months.

As a final step in the on-line PDC with Geoff, I completed the Ver 1 design for Victory Farm.   I have attached the plans as submitted, here in this gallery. We have already completed a few of the tasks such as clearing the volunteer growth on the canal.   Enjoy, and feel free to look us up.

Permaculture, regenerative agroforestry, low-impact living demonstration site.

1. The Permaculture house: aimed to develop our knowledge in bio-construction. It is an abandoned building in the eastern part of the farm around the area of the fruit (mango, medlar, plum) and some aloes. We want to recover the space to house the volunteers to come and work in this land. 2. Fru...

The third project we are working in parallel, is related to the use of rainwater collected from Tashigar Norte village`s sewage system that channeled to the north sector of the farm. The plan is to develop a system of swales (about 12) in an area of ​​approximately 7,500 square meters. In such s...

First of all it is important to know that Tashigar Norte was not initially designed from the perspective of permaculture. Then we adapt the systems that we already have in the farm as much we can. This WWTP works  using mechanical-electric pumps which generate adecuated environments for the ba...

On November of 2012 we gave our first steps. Litle by litle we are working on and we can say now the our dry tolilet is at 70 % progress.We had the joy to share the works with around 60 children that visit us from local schools and with many visitors that have attended our ecofairs.  Done: 1. T...

 Inoculate your soil with millions of beneficial microbes! I have just given all the trees in the orchard (over 160 varieties) a dose of a microbial soil inoculum - all natural and organic - this is a brown powder that you mix with water and leave to brew for 48hrs. There are different mixe...

Create a small garden plot with a previously established garden that has been unkept for many years. Site design has many phases as this house is a rental with the owner, who loves gardening, will coming back in a few years. Phase 2 and 3 are designed for her to implement when she claims the prop...

A very nice place to discover.

In the Image Gallery, I have posted the Nine page design proposal.   Through Geoff's on-line class, I learned and re-confirmed more than forty years of practice and observation.  It really is possible to live a simple and more abundant life, now. Denise and I look forward to reaping the harvest...
