2022 Costa Rica Permaculture Farm-Tour: Beautiful 18 Year-old Homestead + Farm (Part One)

We have returned to Costa Rica for a brief business trip! We are back at Christian Vargas’ Homestead and Farm with Brendon Mckeon after a couple years since being here last! He has added many new water-features, acquired more land and MANY more plants and fruit trees! Enjoy the tour and stay tuned for Part 2!
Christian Vargas is a native to Costa Rica & we got the lucky chance to meet him & check out his incredible homestead, thanks to Brendon McKeon of Natural Living Designs & Eco Oasis' KZbin channel. Brendon co-hosts this tour as a great friend to Christian & not only is he our trusty translator, but he is the mastermind behind Natural Living Designs, a permaculture development design & build firm. If you have questions, or would like to be in contact with Brendon, you can send an email to him at: [e-mail]

There is no better satisfaction than a farmer showing off his garden. Such a beautiful yard.

[@LeChristEstRoi]

This guy's property is like poetry! You can feel his love and passion for what he's doing and for the plants. Amazing guy!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Well said!

[@bullsfoodforest347]

I am so glad that you guys made it back to Costa Rica to give us an update on those farms.

[@barbarataylor8101]

Love Christian, he is so proud and that makes me proud. That pond is of great importance. God bless him

[@yesterday-today-forever]

What a gorgeous paradise Christian has! All of the natural water flowing through his property makes his plants and trees come alive. Makes me want to take a dip. I admire how he adores his orchids and points them out to us, so fascinating to see them growing on his trees. Glad he shared that. Looking forward to part 2.

[@josenoriega7744]

What a nice property Christian has. Congratulations. He is taking care of the Forest very good. Thanks Pete for the video. This video remembers me when I was doing my internship back in Venezuela in an experimental coffee Plantation in the mountains. I miss the forest .

[@euricegomez4048]

Absolutely beautiful… thank you Pete and everyone who contributed to making/capturing this moment… god bless you all… hope you all are having a smooth day

[@galentine09]

Great video Pete! Thank you for sharing this content with the world! Paradise truly does exist and it's not a house, a car or lots of money.....

[@Mindy56743]

My mother-in-law used to raise orchids and those that love them really love them. They become like their children

[@soniachinchilla2305]

This property is beautiful! Oh my! I've been trying to grow Jaboticaba in SE Texas for awhile now. Not much luck but it's still alive. Seeing those monstrous Jaboticaba were amazing!

[@barbarataylor8101]

My black berries are not doing great either here in SE Texas. Costa Rica is calling.

[@Audrii382]

[@ericalicea4201]

Brendon's spanish keeps getting better.

[@marksiqendu7739]

Awesome video. What an amazing farm... Love it. Help the G' with a hydro electricity system, the power from that stream will produce some good clean power. za

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Awesome

[@ericalicea4201]

Christian el duro!

[@teamcautiouslyextreme8072]

[@NoNORADon911]

This is a preppers paradise....

[@jeff6899]

[@mikerutherdale7327]

Wow Pete ….that was amazing…..all those different fruits are amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@myrddinwyllt3383]

He looks like a happy man.

[@reeferfranklin]

Lol, I love that "medicinal plant, just an Amazonian medicinal plant" that's a cute little euphemism for chacruna aka the ayahuasca plant.

[@marycampbell4160]

Simply gorgeous thanks for sharing!!!!!!

[@dustman96]

Wow, that place is incredible!

[@ajcsonsforge6370]

Keeping an eye out for the new nursery opening. Keep crushing it Pete

[@donTeo136]

I'm interested here in Colombia. Particularly live trees. My seeds have limited success.

[@neens1369]

ChempaJack sounds interesting. I'd like to try it one day. I don't know if you have heard about tarap fruit. It's quite similar with chempedak and jackfruit but the taste is more towards durians. They're native here in Malaysia and Indonesia

[@MarkDemarest]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 🤯💚🙌🏼

[@bamboojdm]

Excelente buenísimo 🇨🇷, bienvenido, Pura vida.

[@billwlod]

I was checking out one of Brendons properties he was selling about a month ago.

[@gce1493]

Wow water apple. It's called Macopa here in the Philippines. There are different colors from pink, red to purple etc. Tastes a bit like apple but with a softer flesh.

[@barbarataylor8101]

We would love to know about where Christian got all of his knowledge.

[@CharlesGann1]

Beautiful layout. Thanks for this review

[@cassianyhvh7220]

More Jim K please, I beg you !!

[@kobeleonard148]

One of the best videos on this channel so far 🤩🤩

[@Looknobook]

I like the farm tours videos!

[@TheMarkvq]

Wow. I loved this video. I am from cobano, which few miles away Tambor. I planted a bounch of three like jaboticaba, Abiu, Mamon chino. I was not sure if they were to produce or not due to several reason like weather. That zone is too hot.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

In the mountains it is perfect!

[@ericottsman8353]

Hey Pete I was hing you could give me your opinion about the product "liquid fence deer and rabbit repellent"??????

[@theannecrossett7761]

Happy you had time to share this beautiful place with us.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Our pleasure!

That squash called jícara is the gourd plant.

[@rejestrada]

Hi Ben 😊🇵🇭

[@ianbell2288]

He should check out the company 'Turbulent' for his water source, as an amazing power hydrogenerator. Also, the company 'Home biogas' as a method of turning bathroom & kitchen waste into natural gas for more energy.

[@drpk6514]

Reminds me of heavan.

[@donTeo136]

We could use some of the viarities Colombia. I only see them on your chanel on Costa Rica.
