The Challenges of Living in Costa Rica
Rancho Delicioso’s Eco Village isn’t a “for profit” venture for me. It’s more like a giant work of art, that I want to share with amazing friends and family. I have an amazing life here, and the one thing missing is a real super-local community that’s close enough so that I can visit people to […]
Photos of the Farm
Here’s a nice photo gallery of a bunch of our favorite photos taken at the farm over the past four years since we started here. I hope these will give you a good idea of what it’s like to be here.

Internet Options at the Farm
Many people ask me about internet at the farm, and there are so many options I thought I would write it out once in detail so that people can see what they are and I don’t have to explain it each time. I’m updating this on Dec 14, 2015, so if you’re reading this many […]
