Farm Description
The
farm is located at a point on a relatively large island (40 sq km).
There are no roads on the island, so access
is only by boat.
The first picture shows the caretaker's house to the left, the main house on the hill, and the cabin on the water to the right.
Most
of
the land are rolling hills originally used as cow pasture; about a
third used to be a
banana plantation.
It definitely seemed overgrazed when we started but that is definitely
no
longer a problem.
Most
of the waterfront is made
up of hard coconut
roots, with no dirt or sand, and
has some mangrove
growing along it.
There
is very nice coral
on two sides of the
house on the water and out
from the house, the water gets deep quickly.
There
is a little waterfall in the back of the property, as well as some old
growth rainforest trees, a few fruit
trees,
and some cacao.
