I've been building a food forest since 17 yrs old in Oregon and this is exactly what I want mine to be like! I live in the only zone 9b subtropical rainforest in Oregon so I'm able to grow alot of the same stuff! Videos like this are exactly why I started and this is the best one I've seen!
Oregon is amazing dude !!!! keep doing your thing 🙌 I hope everyone gets to do this more and more, and even begin to support each other in our projects. I am 33 and still living with my parents in suburban San Francisco area, and I organic-landscape where I can. My methods revolve around microporous fibers and I rely heavily on Coconut Coir since its the best fiber I know and have access to. I mix large volumes with various composts and plant with that. Keep growing brother 💗
@@smutgod6125 I know, but its not necessarily a total truth/limitation either... I can imagine things that would contribute to the possibility. Microclimate, and potential of ecological synergy. Obviously a green-house would be the most immediate way to concentrate the heat and moisture desired, but even some really deep landscaping, and inter-planting, including rigorous composting in high-volumes to generate heat. But no you're right, on the surface, and from base-conditions, it is a slim chance. We need like, a coast-wide breeding project, where people cultivate seed and propagate the offspring of their tropical plants, starting far south, and progressing northward. Selecting the best individuals each time. Not even just selection, I think parent plants actually confer adaptations to their offspring seeds in a single generation, based on their experience/conditions. Just some thoughts... there are crazy possibilities, but we are still far from such things... best NOT to try to grow Durian in Oregon, unless GLOBAL WARMING... but Feijoa (pineapple guava) might work. Other than that, he can still have a kickass food forest of northern-hemisphere fruits.... maybe even try growing Paw Paw 💗 I know I'm pretty loose with my imagination.
I met a man in Modena, Italy, that could have been your soulmate. He knew which herb to plant next to which vegetable to attract the beneficial bugs and repel the destructive bugs. This was 26 years ago. It was one of the most memorable moments of my life. The knowledge this man had was astounding.
I mean common maaaan……🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ Just straight up ridiculously beautiful…… I just can’t get enough of these costa rican people and their AMAZING work. The creativity and tidiness is beyond words. When he was explaining about his house, I could relate to what he was saying. Especially when he said “simple”. Easy to maintain. Pete is killin it for all us gardeners out here in the world dreaming of such a place for ours to behold. Much love and appreciation GREEN DREAMS!!!!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🙏🏼✊🏼
Oh my 😍😍😍!!!! So beautiful 😍!!! I’m 43 years old and from my childhood I always for some reason believe that’s my home. I would love, love to move to Costa Rica and have a farm. That is honestly my dream. And dreams do come true 🤗❤️
Hello, i gad to know some people apreciate our country, we want u here, if ur peacefull and kind people, we want u, to pass the ¨word¨ to the rest of our amaizing world. also you could buy a little land less than a hectare here, for a very cheap price and i guarantee u dont need more than that. also we speak english and spanish, and we have the puravida we need, pura vida!
Wow, my favorite video by far. This property Is amazing & wildly inspiring. In this lifetime I am peacefully cultivating my own land & creating a true paradise for myself and many others for generations and generations to come.
Juan Carlos is the guy this year,he has wonderful place and family and the heart to share this with his friends ,thats all we aim in this life ,I am catching up slowly but surely
This is what a passion for life and living can create. Money, time, and life are all transitory. Passion is what builds great things, sustanabity, beauty, and a continuation of those things.
Juan has such great energy which is reflected in his work. Bananas though are very heavy feeders and continually spread, they're best kept separate from fruit trees otherwise they'll outcompete their neighbours for nutrients.
We don’t find that at all. Our bananas don’t really ever get fed, a little chop and drop. All the fruit trees around them certainly don’t seem to suffer. Our neighbour commented “ these are the biggest banana palms I’ve ever seen” and we live in QLD Australia, the home of the banana.🤔
Juan Carlos u hv done a fabulous job on ur farm...it's wonderful to see the lush food plants n the healthy surroundings. Bless u for being a " Pet person" too...
Just stumbled on this video randomly I’m glad I did,I have 12 acres in Africa I have been thinking of something like this but just wasn’t sure now I’ll definitely go ahead,raise my kids on the land
Wow, very powerful last words 💪🏼 Juan Carlos has a great project, and I am very thankful for sharing his story and giving us a virtual tour of his farm. I am very glad for having found this video for inspiration to start my own farm in a few years - if god allows me to. Pura vida!
I love the design of his farm, I love that he is into organic farming . Yes I love it. Great idea with the line of water from the ponds to go to the trees. Thank you for sharing this
Oh man I miss Costa Rica. My family had a few farms out there. But the new Generation (my mothers cousins), didn’t want to live that life. I wish my family still had the land 😭
Same here... Nobody in my family, not even my aunts and my uncles want to go back and till the land... But if I go there and start farming, they might come after me cuz my granny changed her mind and now the forest is not ours.. Sad world...
I share your story, Boriqua aqui. My grandfather and my aunts sold their fincas and came to New York, decades of heritage gone. Starting the new finca this year, so their have hope to reignite tradition.
Really appreciate what you are doing and enjoy each of your videos, but this is my favorite so far. Juan Carlos pulled fruit from a tree by an old ditch (29:25), but a tree the same age further from the water had no fruit yet. Want to share w/ him Psalm 1:3 “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit … and whatsoever he does shall prosper.”
This is truly the most incredible homestead build I've ever seen. It is INDEED a dream and now this example will be my goal. I wonder if Juan Carlos has made a blueprint of his property with the different plants listed (especially this extraordinary companion planting!)?? Thank you for sharing!
My wife and I are building a small farm in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. I feel like my place is so ghetto compared to this amazing property! We have some work to do. Luckily our soil is out of this world incredible! Fruit trees are popping off and it has only been 2 years. Great video Pete, thank you for making such inspiring videos brother!
Sweeeeeeet , overflowing fish ponds distributing nutrients for bananas in ditches, let the water move that nitrogen! nice idea, that's some geoff lawton nitrogen spread on contour stuff right there!
What a spot! Beautiful Costa Rica-landscape. I see a problem here in Florda being all the new housing is mostly apartments that come with no yards, and the single family homes that are being built are built in tightly knit communities with 8’ spacing between the homes, hardly any yard space is provided and what is provided is subject to Hoa regulations which typically limit the homeowner on planting edibles. These pop up cookie communities also are tailored for a certain working class since the homes all start above certain price level
This is so very inspiring. I am in Barbados, trying to do a food garden and so far my trees are what I focus on, they are doing good. I am now putting herbs and will try incorporating flowers. My main problems are slugs, monkeys and human trespassers. I don't use pesticides either.

Thanks for being organic Pete and teaching and pushing for organic growing we can change the world by changing our own actions.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, Juan. It is beautiful.
