Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- On this Costa Rica permaculture, there is an abundance of tropical fruits and medicinal herbs. This 207 acre regenerative farm is a great example, and inspiration, to what is possible when creating a Food Forest in a tropical climate.
Located in Arenal, Costa Rica there is an explosion of biodiversity, as a result of the volcano nearby. Surrounded by jungle and endless species of insects, reptiles, birds, mammals and plants - it truly is an incredible place to visit and experience pure nature.

I hope you enjoy the video and if you have any questions, just let me know in the comments and I will get back to you.

**In 2017 I started my journey growing food. It started as a small project, but has turned into a life long passion.
Today, my UK Food Forest consists of 40+ fruit trees, 30+ berry bushes and lots of organic vegetables. Once an empty field, transformed into a thriving ecosystem, attracting wildlife and growing an abundance of organic food.
I have always understood the importance of reconnecting with nature and growing food is the ultimate extension of this. Nature provides all the answers to growing food in simplest and most natural form.
Now, I'm on a mission to inspire others to start their own journey and help others transform their own back garden into a thriving organic Food Forest.**

Let me know what you think
You don’t know how to spell “spinach.” You are too timid. Snake=Food.
Lipstick tree is achiote in Spanish. In English, it is more commonly called annatto because by law food ingredients have to be listed. It is the coloring for cheddar cheese and ice cream. When in Costa Rica, learn Spanish.
Yuca is Spanish for cassava. Again learn Spanish.
Poor deprived Briton, a creature relegated to be blanketed in fog, and bear that cold that chills to the very marrow, I feel sorry for you to have waited so long to see a cinnamon tree.
@@estebancorral5151 yes, the Costa Rican who owned the farm translated to lipstick tree but I now know it is called annatto. I am in the process of learning Spanish to help with the new project I am starting in Spain and always respect the locals. Pura Vida
Pura Vida!
Finger Limes are native to Australia and grow in tropical and temperate environments. They are introduced to Costa Rica.
Brillisnt growing your own food WELL DONE to EVERYBODY growing their own food/ living in a farm.
Belo vídeo. Eu tenho uma pequena fazenda no sul do Brasil onde cultivo muitas das plantas que você mostrou.
Really nice tour, beautiful food forest. It might also be nice to know what goes on in the community surrounding/supporting this as well, to get some more context for how this is preserved or managed. Good video, thanks for sharing this.
Hi Robb, thanks for watching! The community in Arenal, Costa Rica is amazing. The area gets some tourism due to the Volcano nearby, however, this permaculture is slightly more remote. The property is spread over 207 acres and also doubles up as an eco lodge/resort - so they have a small team that maintains the Food Forest.

Not sure that ‘ice cream fruit’ was a durian, looked more like a Rollinia
Nice
What an amazing jungle, soo many fruits. Thanks for sharing! I'd like to point out that 5:55 is not Durian but Rollinia (Annona mucosa). I'm sure it can be used to make ice cream though 😃
Thank you and I'm glad you liked the video. Yes, you are right about it not being Durian. This was the first time I had ever seen this fruit and I still have never tried it. Have you grown it before? I'd be interested to know what it tastes like.
@@growingwithnatureofficial I've never tasted or seen one in real life before 😅I just consume a lot of content on farming and happened to recognize it.
@@growingwithnatureofficial:
It's more typically known as "lemon meringue pie fruit", because it tastes like lemon meringue pie.
Great video Luke! Do you know of a jungle project? Its an organization in Costa Rica helping farmers by planting breadfruit
And teaching them to grow with perennials in polycultures.
@@jeppeleth3888 That sounds amazing! I'll take a look. Costa Rica is really making an effort to protect the nature and there has been an explosion of permaculture projects all over the country this past decade. Breadfruit is an interesting fruit that I've seen at the local Framers market, but not yet had the chance to try. Apparently, I tastes very similar to bread! haha
Bell flower we call them where i live ppl smoke them
You know what they say: a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.
