Punta Mona is an 85-acre off the gride beachfront permaculture organic farm, a Community and Center for Sustainable Living and Education located on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
*Come visit our new office in Puerto Viejo located behind ATEC across the street from Cafe Viejo!
Our mission at Punta Mona is to expose all people who come to the farm to the ideals of Permaculture and educate about sustainability. Punta Mona does this while living sustainably, off the grid and communally. The ideals of sustainability, conservation of energy and reduction of waste permeate our everyday lives. Our houses are built from local, fallen trees, solar panels provide our electricity, we compost our leftover food, make our own dirt and our chickens provide eggs for us to eat. To support our diet and local communities, we grow over 100 tropical fruits, vegetables, herbs, medicinal plants and shop locally. Our washing and drinking water is collected rainwater from our water-catchment system.
In
addition to living as sustainably as possible, we are dedicated to
teaching environmental awareness and consciousness. As such, we invite
new people to come to our community, whether as part of an educational
or retreat group, as an intern, or just as a guest for a few nights.
Here, you get to be immersed in a sustainable-living, energy-conscious,
off the grid experience, complete with composting toilets, hand powered
grinders, extremely loud howler monkeys and a complete lack of any
extraneous noise. Where else could you experience a power outage from
leaving a light on or have entertainment consist of dancing around the
fire and taking mud baths in the nearby river? We believe Punta Mona is
a unique place and one that has much to teach about the things we take
for granted, the power of community and shared intention and the beauty
of living a simple, unplugged life. As such Punta Mona's door is always
open to those who wish to contribute to the farm, experience a new way
of life and catch a glimpse of our beautiful jungle farm and community.
Our website contains a wealth of information about Punta Mona and how you and others can join our community– we encourage you to explore it. We invite you to immerse yourself in a community working in harmony with nature.
Con paz and lots of love,
The Punta Mona Team

Hello, Is your farm open to children? I have one who will be four in June. Also, what types of foods do you grow, outside of your fruit orchards? ~ Emily Wynne
