wow guys that was great! very cool you mentioned 30BaD too, so many memories flood back. i must remember to share this on my channel. wishing you all a fruitful future

Give up your attachments give up your confusion and fly to that space that's beyond all illusion you are forever pure you are forever true and the dream of this world can never touch you❤ one of my favorite songs
It looks so healthy and I think community and diverse nuture around might heal many people - let us all covert farm land back to nature. And reduce our consumption in exchange and start a happier Lifestyle:)
Great initiative. I hope as you grow in age this becomes a process for graceful aging needs within as ageing and handing over cartaking is an important part of continuation of land and soil and soul.. Aging is a natural part of life cycle. Sadly It has been also a painful journey in many communities as projects dont reflect and include the needs of elders..as we find the need for constant doing in the process consuming .... just like an older tree and forest that supports many more species than a young one... many communities have fallen short with this picture of life as we chase our dreams and projects ... after 40 years sadly it becomes a very difficult and undignified for mostthe original people leave... going back into the world and having been taken care of by society again...!! Another part is the local knowledge of local indigenous knowledge is far superior to permacultur ...please be mindful...😇
Thanks, that was very interesting and refreshing to see e.g. producing minimal waste, working physically, living more in harmony with nature, working together, etc. The vegan thing is extreme and adding fish and livestock for a more balanced diet and joy with food (eggs, steak, yoghurt, etc.) is a good improvement. We are in Nova Scotia with a only 3 months frost free (mid June-Mid September) growing season for most vegetables. We have a lot of storms (8-100km/h) and the odd hurricane (120-150km/h). Then of course too much rain and snow/frost. However, what grows really well here in the summer time is grass. You dont want to eat grass but cattle turn grass in the most tasty and nutritious foods (steak, yoghurt, ice-cream, cheese,..). What also grows really well is potatoes and blueberries (low&highbush). If you put it all together you get a good diet that you can produce yourself. Livestock is crucial here also for fertility (manure).
@@FruitHavenEcovillage Being able to grow fruit&veggies year round without expensive greenhouses, root cellars, freezers, etc. is amazing and makes life a lot easier! I have not lived there but I am pretty sure that I still would want a balanced diet with fish, eggs, steak, yoghurt,.. Its tastes so good to and brings so much joy as well. Just had lamb roast, red cabbage and fried potatoes together with blueberry wine. Yoghurt for desert. It was a fantastic meal and we enjoyed it so much. Makes for a good tasty and nutrious meal.
@@sallycrawford2729 I am very aware of what society does with people and constantly try to question and rethink things. You are delusional to think that meat is no nutritious. Turning grass (not nutritious for people) into meat, yoghurt, etc. makes a lot of sense where we live (Nova Scotia. We have been having a 15 inch snow storm for the past 2 days with temperatures around 15 Fahrenheit).
Hi Peter and fellow Fruit Haven participants. Congrats on your great documentary. It was mentioned that you have your own internal currency. That would be good to know about in greater detail. Also, with the problem with those nasty flies, I'm curious if you 1.) have a biogas digester, and 2.) if you could have a slow controlled burn-off of the excess methane combined with a bug zapper where the flying insect is attracted by the Co2 and then get zapped - (lots of TH-cam videos about it - see th-cam.com/video/KW_oMchq4FU/w-d-xo.html ). With all of the "contributors" that you have at Fruit Haven, and especially because you don't cook (not using methane for cooking) - due to your preference for raw foods - you could be attracting and zapping those flying insects 24/7 and making your environment a lot easier on your residents. Keep up the great work. - Jim from Phoenix
The biting insects are not really a problem. Just new people who have been around 1-2 months have been bothered by them. The rest of us are fine ;-P The gnats stop going after you once your blood smells like everyone else's.
World domination? Hmm... Sounds rather ambitious. I agree with the sustainable and eco-friendly kind of living, and would be very interested to learn to grow my own food. How easy or difficult was for the founders to negotiate the buying of the first plots? And who was the previous owners? And this being in the Amazon region, aren't you all close to indigenous communities where you are?
Buying the lands was fairly easy. Just lots of paperwork. The owners were local Ecuadorians who were selling for various reasons, mostly because they were old and had no interest in maintaining their farms anymore. Yes we are neighboring several indigenous reserves totaling thousands of hectares. All of our neighbors are indigenous Shuar.
We have hundreds of indigenous Shuar as our neighbors. We've learned a lot from them. Also we share rare fruit tree genetics with them and help to improve community infrastructure that benefits them (like the bridge and public path.) TBH the main reason they appreciate us is we provide a lot of full-time employment. Many of the men can now support their families due to having a steady job rather than occasional sporadic work. For them, dignity and financial stability is priceless. As in the United States, there are issues with poverty and alcoholism in the indigenous communities here. Turns out removing their nomadic way of life and giving them European vices was not such a good idea. But, with economic opportunity they have more options in life.
Me and my friend have been raw vegans for the past 2 years and we are thinking about moving from Europe to a fruit village for good. We are 25 years old, educated, hardworking, with a budget of 5-6k €. Would it be possible with hard work to be part of your community? Thank you in advance 😇
23:00 What is this flower? To me it looks like rātā or pōhutukawa which are from New Zealand. I have seen rātā growing wild in the cook islands bcuz they were introduced hundreds of years ago by voyaging Polynesians. I know in NZ our precolonial staple was sweet potato so perhaps we introduced rātā to south america when we got sweet potato from there? What is that sweet heart can you please let me know?
good questions, not sure which flower that is, probably something wild. we do grow sweet potato too. we have sweet heart lichee which is a verity of lichee but it hasn't fruited yet, so unfortunately we can't show it from us but you can search the internet for other examples
Strange question. But do people date within the community? You know, since people have their ”needs” If you understand me. Or is this not allowed in Fruit Haven.
Yes sadly so. But I think there are some ways if we really want. Was planning also to visit but found it difficult to reach there from India. And now even more so
This requirement only lasted 2 months; it was struck down quickly as the government had no interest in fighting all the court cases / lawsuits / criminal charges filed against the president. Now there is no snake bite required ;-P yay ecuador
Looks great! Ive planted a temperate fruit forest, not vegan as humans are omnivores ( i have biology degree and have lived with indigenous peoples) but to each their own, keep up the good work.
I did notice on the last video that there are marching giants (power towers) across the river, so not so isolated after all. They scar the landscape everywhere in the US now, and the power companies say they will be building far more in order to meet the needs of AI running in data centers.
This is so interesting! I'm curious, are the Fruit Haven communities in contact with any of the local indigenous peoples? With the way our European ancestors persecuted them and their way of life I feel we should always be looking to work with them in projects like this. Especially because there is so much we could learn from them and their ancestral knowledge of the land.
Yep. Next to us is a huge indigenous reserve land, hundreds of them live along the river. We are friends with many of them, and some work here full or part time doing construction or agriculture.
Looks like they do to me, check some other videos, they employ locals, live next to and visit indigenous, who already live in their own communities so I reckon this place not as appealing to them, although no doubt they would be accepted. What ways do you mean - house building? Yeah, that would be cool, although a lot of them probably live in more modern style houses now anyway. Boat making? Think most of them ride in metal ones with motors. Clothing - that would be a bit strange, maybe disrespectful and then be criticised as cultural appropriation. Shrinking heads perhaps? :P Have seen volunteers of different skin colours, think they have had short term Ecuadorian visitors although that might have been Terra Frutis, their sister community, there is an Ecuadorian women and child residing at Terra Frutis.
If it’s really about restoring nature, that’s even more important than the indigenous owning land, and restoring nature is not something colonists did, quite the opposite. But the more destruction happening to the already self-recovering land by carving roads and constructions, the more im sad to see :( Ive seen one owner cutting off everything on his part of the land and then leaving for years not knowing when he goes back. :( Supersad :(
My question: what did happened to the indigenous people of that area bc I notice most of yall are from Israel and I hope you are not pushing them off THEIR land. And you admit to wanting world denomination?!?!? I’m sorry that doesn’t sound peaceful
The indigenous are our neighbors, they have protected land it is theirs to own and cultivate. There aren't many here from Israel, regardless of where the owners are from...
i wonder how some things would work there, for example sex, are you people having sex? and also if someones who eats meat and want to raise chickens or rabbits or goats? and if someone wants to plant their own system on their land with maybe a vertical garden or some monoculture for feeding the animals? and what the locals think of this place?
Fascinating community, i hope they thrive and flourish
Thank you
