Thank you Hallie!
Hey I’m Hallie! I’ve been on the farm for a month now, and a week before my Yoga Teachers Training that I did at Anamaya. I originally came to Costa Rica for the teachers training, but have found my time on the farm to be a great compliment to the lessons I learned during my […]
Costa Rica TreeHouse – Montezuma
The Sacred Geome-Tree House is no longer available because it’s rented long term. But we still want to share about it: The tree house is composed of 4 structures, a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom (and a half) and lookout/meditation platform called the Awarenest. All of the trees holding the structures are Melina trees, a farmed tree used […]
Farm Thai ‘Fruit and Veg’ Curry
I think what has subconsciously prompted my exploration into Thai cuisine whilst in Costa Rica, as well as the typically Thai green papayas, is the coconut milk I enjoy in my coffee at Anamaya after yoga in the mornings. It reminds me of travelling I have done in Thailand when I lived off of green, […]
Welcome Jonathan!
My name is Jonathan Sherlock. I am a 29 year old perpetual life-student from San Diego. I came to Rancho Delicioso because I share the dream of a self-sustained existence in a communal living environment where all members of the tribe contribute from their individual talents and giftings… And I want to live in a […]
Welcome Emily!
My name is Emily and I am delighted to be spending my time in Costa Rica on Rancho Delicioso. I am originally from New Jersey, and have left a desk job in the United States to gain more knowledge about sustainable resource management and to help spread local farming knowledge to others. I don’t have […]
First Annual Mud Day Festival
Joseph and the volunteers were looking for an excuse to have a party of some kind, since a few volunteers had birthdays around the same time, and they chose a convenient day that worked for everyone. They decided they wanted a theme for it, so they started looking online to see what special events or […]
Aerial Silks
Since coming to Costa Rica I have been blessed with ready access to aerial silks. Right outside my door one hangs from the beautiful geo-dome. For anyone who does not know, an aerial silk is special fabric hung at heights. One or more acrobats will climb the silk and perform drops by wrapping the silk […]
Thank You Joy Taylor!
Hi! My name is Joy Taylor. I am from just outside of Lexington, Kentucky. I recently graduated with my BA degree in Art and minor in Equine Management. I’m a very active yogi and rock climber, and am in the area to do my yoga teacher training at Anamaya. However, I wanted to spend some more hands on time in the area […]
Savory Flaxseed Crackers
One of the future projects on the list for volunteers at the ranch is to design and build a solar dehydrator for drying herbs, seeds, and tasty snacks like these Savory Flaxseed Crackers. In the meantime, we’re using an Excalibur electric dehydrator borrowed from Anamaya. Ingredients 2 cups whole raw flaxseed 3 cups water 1 […]
Caterpillar That Eats Passion Fruit Leaves
This beautiful orange and black butterfly looks sweet, but it lays hundreds of eggs on our passion fruit vine leaves. At first, the eggs are bright yellow, but after a time, they turn a browner shade before hatching. The tiny caterpillar babies favor these passion fruit vines leaves (maracuya) and will quickly grow much larger. […]
