About the host
Hosted by Eddy
Hello, I'm Eddy, a former university professor of computer engineering who found a new purpose in life as the guardian of the forest and an advocate for sustainable living. My journey began with a profound love for nature and a desire to make a positive impact on the world around me.
Transitioning from academia to the realm of ecological stewardship wasn't an easy decision, but it was one that felt right in my heart. Armed with my knowledge of computer engineering, I set out to design and implement various sustainable systems on our farm, including green energy solutions, electricity infrastructure, and permaculture practices.
With a deep understanding of renewable energies, I developed a sophisticated system that harnesses solar and wind power to provide clean and reliable energy for our farm. It's a humble contribution towards reducing our carbon footprint and embracing a more sustainable future.
I approach my role as the guardian of the forest with humility, constantly reminded of the vast wisdom and beauty that nature possesses. It is a privilege to witness the transformations that take place when we align ourselves with the natural world.
My hope is not only to make a difference within the boundaries of our farm but also to inspire others to embrace sustainable living. By sharing my knowledge and experiences, I aim to ignite a spark in others, encouraging them to explore the potential for harmony between technology and the environment.
I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of nature and the promotion of sustainable practices. It is a humbling journey, one that constantly reminds me of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of cherishing our planet.
Together, let's forge a path towards a greener and more sustainable world, where we can coexist harmoniously with nature and leave a positive legacy for future generations.

What makes our property truly unique is its unwavering commitment to sustainability, combined with the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds it. Here, in this off-grid, isolated organic farm nestled on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, we have created an oasis that exemplifies a harmonious coexistence with nature.
First and foremost, our property stands out for its ultra-low carbon footprint. Every aspect of our operation is designed with sustainability in mind. We generate all our energy through solar panels and wind turbines, ensuring that our power source is clean and renewable. By embracing these green technologies, we minimize our impact on the environment while providing a comfortable and modern living experience for our guests.
But sustainability extends far beyond energy production. Our commitment to organic farming and permaculture principles sets us apart. We have established thriving gardens where we grow a wide variety of organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs. These practices not only provide us with nutritious, pesticide-free food but also contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the health of the ecosystem.
The secluded location of our farm adds to its uniqueness. Situated 8 km from the nearest village, it offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by the lush Cloud-Rainy transitional forest, our guests can immerse themselves in nature's magnificence. From Monteverde, celebrated for its biodiversity, to the mesmerizing coastline, the stunning landscape captivates the senses and invites exploration.
Our accommodations further enhance the uniqueness of our property. From the charming handmade cabins, such as The Office and Frijolitos, to The Solar House, each space has been carefully crafted with a focus on sustainable and eco-friendly design. Here, guests can experience a minimalist way of life, free from distractions like TVs and Wi-Fi, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and nature.
