Wow Pete and Team! You guys are really taking the video presentations to the next level, Beautiful work! As always was so much fun hanging with you guys, see ya again soon!
Brendon Mckeon thanks broski! It’s always great seeing y’all. I can’t wait to spend more time in CR.
love your work guys, glad your getting some coverage.
Do any of you folks have a Whatsapp number for Christian Vargas?
What's with the violent blinking? Was it the bugs or a nerve disorder? Or is that just how you do?
Hey Brendo, looking to come down for a visit and then to hopefully purchase some land for premature, or buy existing set up. Is there any chance I could swing by your sites?
Greetings from Kenya! My permaculture journey started in 2016 when i did a PDC. Such videos inspire me and i thank God that this year will end on a great note and I'll have a piece of land in my name and start a bountiful permaculture oriented life with my 6 babies under 8yrs old. Overwhelmed but determined. 🙌
Wow! Wishing you luck on your journey 🙌
Kazana. I am planning to move bk to kenya n practice this. Away from th rat race
I am in Kenya too. Trying to learn and practice permaculture in dry land with limited water supply. Will be glad to learn more and visit your farm
Wish you all the...from somaliland
I would love to see more of the locals thriving off the earth in a sustainable way! This is amazing! ♥️way to go!
I wish it was Christian talking directly, with subtitles. such a gorgeous garden.
soooo nice to see a persons work who's actually from this land. Thank u for sharing
For me living in Denmark, with vold climate, this is absolutely amazing. Thank you.
My goodness. Absolutely outstanding. These folks are on the absolute cutting edge of Earth regeneration! Peace to the medicine holders and water keepers.
Aaron Brooks thank you! They’re doing some amazing and much needed work in the tropics.
Absolutely incredible !! I truly love these videos of the smaller scale places and what can be done on them. Pete you've done it again...….grand slam !! Looking forward to part 2
Oh man. This is such a dream. Thank you for sharing this
gayzion glad you enjoyed:)
As usual, I'm smitten, you always inspire to play in the dirt...what an amazing farm...so yummy on so many levels...WOW...!
Milkweed Dreams this place is quite the hidden gem! Thanks:)
Uncle Pete back on RUclips! Love this look into Costa Rico. I think we’ve found your future retirement spot.
Acoatof Gold you know this 😉
This is pure organic method.
They been using this method in Latin America. For the last 20 years. But it exploted about 10 years ago.
Is awesome.
Nice tour.
Thank you!
Brendon did what all pioneers should do; connect with original people. LOVED Christian's work. Could sit for hours to learn what he observed and about the modalities he experimented with.
I'm blown away. Both of you are living a rich life and I don't care how much money is coming in.
Joshua Zieba 🙌
I couldn't agree more. I was just sitting here wondering to myself, who is luckiest?
The folks who tend the forests full time as a way of life?
The ones who get to travel and see so many examples of systems and share it with everyone?
Or the ones who get to watch and live twice as vicariously through each perspective?
This is so beautiful.
Katrina Harvey thanks!
Paradise! Christian proving if you can only afford a small tropical homestead you can still create a permaculture dreamscape!
2 year old video and only now I watch it??🤦🏽♂️😔 Better late than never I guess huh?? This is one of the most best and impressive home food forests I’ve seen ever. Christians humble nature and intellect and wisdom of his food forest is sooooo impressive and refreshing. I can watch these videos all day long but I too have to go in the yard and tend to a little 1 acre food forest. These vids really give me the extra boost to strive for more. Thank you guys a ton!! Aloha brothers!!🤙🏼🙏🏼
Felicidades a Christian Vargas!! Impresionante como tiene sembrado esa manzana suya!! Bellisimo Todo!! 🌺💚🥭
Another homerun! Fills the soul with hope. Thanks Pete
Teri Jean thank you 🙌
You guys are fricken awesome.
This is so amazing.
Your families will always be secure & not have to worry about the stores being raided for food.
Plus it’s just beautiful, in every way.
I love this farm! Especially the flowers and the 🐝! Wow, wow, wow!!! 🙏
ow.. thanks..
That’s amazing. Christian has done/is doing an amazing job. Thank you Pete for sharing this
Shocarnee those jabos are serious!
Thank you Pete. As the New Earth emerges , your videos will become legendary.
Beautiful plants! Thanks for the video.
So beautiful.
I just fell in love with this place ! Awesome
connie frye me too! ❤️
Love it. That’s my dream garden.
thanks for showing a video featuring local people that arent rich
Stunning! So lovely! Great inspiration.
Remnant Few ministries ministry 🙌
Outstanding!
Strong Rabbit thanks!
Bravo from Paris (France) ... Ce petit paradis vert est d'une grande richesse végétale et très beau !
93VIDEO hello France!
love and respect to all you guys :)
BetterYouBetterWorld V thank you! ❤️
Bless everyone for the hard work! Amazing 💕🌿🍇🥑🕊
Wow. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Amanda! :)
The chromatography of the fertilizer is pretty fascinating. I used chromatography as a winemaker to determine if fermentations are going and complete.
Impressive farm this man has nurtured 🍄😃🌈🤙
You guys should give this guy a bunch of durian seeds or small trees because he seems like a professional. He could help solve the durian problem in Latin ama Érica.
Benjamin Morley they’ve begun planting Durian on this site, it should be in part two. That’s to Peter Kring there are more and more Durian showing up around Costa Rica.
Yes, we are experimenting with Durian, but unfortunately we are a little high in Altitude for it to thrive up here. Many of our friends at lower elevation are rocking the Durian though!
Cool, there definitely needs to be more durian in Costa Rica!
Benjamin Morley indeed
This was very moving. Thank you very much Brendon and Christian for sharing. Inspiring as always, Pete - love the music!
Strauch Dieb thank you! Melissa has some amazing skills with music choice. I bet she spends as much time editing as picking the right song. Unfortunately with this one after uploading the first time we got hit with a copyright on the music so it had to be redone. It’s a big pain and we still have to buy every song.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL oh wow - it`s really appreciated!
As usual very professional :) Thank you :)
Michael Martinussen thank you!
Great video a learning experience.
Missed you brother! Glad to see that your doing ok. I always love watching your videos. So impressive! Just like you said they keep getting better & better. Thank you for always sharing. My Food Forest is well underway. I have just under 60 fruit, avocado and nut trees now thanks to you and your inspiration. I’m definitely addicted to planting and growing now.
Apples2Apples Financial thanks guys! Gonna have to visit your food forest one day 👊
Interesting! planning about it
This is wonderful.
Miggs thank you!
Mi sueñp es yo, escapando a Costa Rica y vivir con los licales y la tierra.
Did you just shoot this video? Is this there summer or fall? Which season did these fruits ripen in?
Please keep up the so very good work that you are doing. You the MAN.
Ken Hab. Thank you! 👊
That is my dream. Incredible what he is building up. Thank you for sharing this farm 💙🙏
I am trying to inform me about how to get land in Costa Rica to build up an farm like this.
Thank you for this inspiratione :)
Best wishes from Alemania :D
What a stud.
He needs to put his knowledge into books, I would buy
Light Owl seriously good idea!
Id like to see someone growing in sub tropical climate who does it well. Its depresding seeing how easy it is growing in the tropics
I’m in a subtropical climate in florida... what’s classifies “well” for you?
The original permaculture food forests that were developed by Bill Mollison were in the subtropics. Check out Geoff Lawton's farm Zaytuna.
I’d love a place like this
😍 BEAUTIFUL place!
Wonderful...
Thanks Pete! Gracias christian!
👊
W O W
Heaven
Let’s move dude! 👊
Definitely
Super cool.
wonderful to see
Bad ass!! Thanks🤘🏻😎
Case G 👊
Wow wow wow!!😍😍
so beautiful :)
I'm headed to Dominical in late December. Are there any permaculture farms open to tours in the region?
I love when I’m sitting , eating & enjoying delicious fruit and or vegetables, then start thinking that I can’t believe this was put here for Us, it naturally grows beautifully and taste delicious for us to eat.
Tell me the Almighty Creator is not real.
Your "creator" is as real as the Unicorn LOL
🌷🌱🌼very impressive
Hi, what kind of plant was on the edge of the trail?
Keep um coming bud.
How do you control grass. It's killing me. Cutting it back to put trees in. Any suggestions?
Farisa Smith think of it as an asset. I know it is hard. Getting a good strategy of harvesting it by letting it grow tall and cutting it about just before it goes to seed by pushing it over and chopping at the root level. Shading it out is the long term solution. I feel you though I have to say, it’s been 4 years and some areas it seems only more grass exists now. Some hectares it has been fully eradicated and now I kind of value it for biomass believe it or not =) sharp sharp machete and the graba hook stick. And plant as you clear with bananas or Inga to get the shade in.
@@Jahmastasunherbalist Thanks for the encouragement. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I need a reminder now and then that it's all worth it. I know the people in these videos have been at this for a while. I know I'll get there. Thanks again.
I love the video. Very informational, thank you for sharing it. Do you have another video for the other farm at higher altitude? Thank you so much.
Thanks! No, we didn’t visit Christian’s other property.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I may be visiting CR in the near future and I would like to visit the farm at the higher altitude. Please let me know how I can get a hold of either gentlemen ( I speak Spanish as well). Thank you for all you do for the community.
I have been wondering down the pathways you have low variegated bush grass on either side of the road, can you tell me what that is ?
Beautiful wonderful awesome nice video love everything about it; one thing I'm wondering about is do Costa Rica have this root plant known as elephant ears in Puerto Rico it's called yautia and another variety it's called malanga I heard the guy mentioned root plant but didn't mentioned the name of the plants do you know if they grow this elephant ears root plant?
Hello! The common elephant ear isn’t edible here. We can grow and eat taro and malanga in Florida.
Very interesting! Maybe Christian can give us the reference for the cromatographie book. I saw a reference on internet for a german author in cromatographie and i Don't know if that's the one… Thank you for your work guys! Amazing!
I can ask him about that! I know he’s taken a few courses and has some type of certification class.
He would make far more money if he provide tours to his farm.
Mantab ..
WAOH!!! Amazing!
Does Rambutan grow in FL?
Eden Homestead thanks buddy! Maybe in the Florida keys, it’s super tropical.
Pete, have you ever designed a food forest in a place that gets snow in winter?
Candide Thirtythree not yet. Mostly subtropical and tropical designs so far. I’m working with Justin Rhodes on a design for his temperate food forest in NC.
inspiring. how much finance would one need to make an attempt at tropical permaculture like this ? where would this type of information be accesible?
I’d say 200k all said and done, that’s a brand new home. My buddy Brendon can help you out. Email me for contact info. Thanks
Admin@greendramsfl.com

Amazing!! That corn is absolutely beautiful!! What is the name? What does he make with that corn? How does it taste? You can just look and tell it FULL of Anthocyanins.
ogadl ogadl I’m not sure what he does with it. Maybe Brendon would know.
Possibly it's Peruvian purple corn, used to make chicha morada... Plenty of Anthocyanins... The grains are ground for cornflour, haven't seen it tender, most of the color's on the cob which is boiled together with other ingredients to make chicha morada
I am just curious about snakes. I know there are 100 species in Costa Rica, about 20 of them poisonous. Any trouble with those guys? I see you guys walking thru tall grass, nobody seems to worry. Are they that nice? What about Fer de Lance?
There certainly are snakes but nothing crazy. I actually saw way more venomous snakes when I lived in Northern California. We have much less up her in the Foothills/Mountains compared to the lower beach zones.
I always wonder about that in permaculture... don't snakes come?
Maybe it's like tropical places in Asia where snake incidents are more prevalent when the rains and floods come. Since a lot of permaculture takes place on sloped areas, maybe these farms are drier. Also it's colder higher up. But idk.
Such an amazing garden- so much production in a relatively small space. Christian is obviously highly skilled. Would have been great to hear more from him - most of the convo being in English excludes him from adding his pearls of wisdom which is ultimately the details you need to get such amazing production. Also...From an Australian’s perspective the title is highly racist (“this native’s”)... how about “Christian’s” or even something more on topic like “scientific methods to maximise production on 1.7 acre permaculture farm” since he is obviously very methodical and production focused.
Dude did you move to costa rica? What about us in FL? When you coming back to N. FL?
Robert Jackson not yet 😉
This footage was from April, I’m back now. I’m due for another north Florida tour, we just had our first frost so probably not until next year. I do have a few new spots to visit next tour :)
I just found your channel. I love what your group is producing. Awesome. Pete, which planting medium has Christian used? Looks like hay bales and or wood chips.
helen thomas glad you found me! :)
I’m uncertain of the exact growing medium Christian uses, normally Brendon drops in every few days to answer questions.
Thanks
Guau!!!!
We have Naranjilla in Florida. I grow them.
Adventurous mtbiker when I watch the video myself I realized I’ve seen it in Homestead. Do you know the common name for it here in Florida?
I've also heard it called Lulo
Adventurous mtbiker thanks!
Naranjia looks like a weird kiwi
What is that pepper plant (21:18) and what are the chances it would grow in Homestead, FL?
Thanks! I’ll see what I can find when I move into my house this summer.
I'll bet you Tico's corn is not roundup ready.
LEGIT
I have a question. I am buying some land on a hillside. If you were going to put swales on a hillside. Would you follow the elevation with your swales. Would you follow the elevation, or build in a straight line allowing overflow to run around the ends. And can mounds be hugo culture or will hugo culture mounds recede as the wood decomposes? It is a rounded hill not straight downhill.
NTMDTR205605 lots of variables. Really depends on the climate and location. In Costa Rica swales don’t really apply they get too much rain. They mostly want to slow it down to avoid erosion but not stop it like drier more arid climates. Typically speaking you would want to follow the natural contour lines of the land with a laser level. Normally sills are added throughout swales to let the water escape once it hits a certain height, this way it’s not breaching the swale. I don’t have much experience with hugelkultur and haven’t seen it apply well here in FL. I also don’t know anyone experimenting with it in the tropics,sorry.
Hugelculture is not ideal in the tropics because the top soil is usually so shallow things within the soil will be anerobic or even preserve like crazy and never break down. I’d suggest thinking in the ways of terracing and alley cropping. Incorporating drainage even if it is really high rainfall. But terraces lazy style with planting Inga or tithonia on contour or with a excavation machine.
Fruit Fuels Freedom Jason Kvestad I was wondering about that, thanks for the info!
Fruit Fuels Freedom Jason Kvestad glad to see you watching these videos bro! Are you fluent in Spanish?
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL claro, hablo espanol casi come los ecuatorianos. Pero con un acento muy malo jajaja. ( yeah fluent, i love the emotion involved with Spanish, and I have a bad accent)
You're never coming back. Are you bro? 😂😂😂
Greg C hell no! 😝
I’d like to see his fertilizer set up
Fruit Fuels Freedom Jason Kvestad good call for next tour. 3.0 should be coming 2019👊
A little tip on doing your videos, when you or your host is standing by a tree and describing it, SHOW the tree and not so much the host. I watch these videos to learn about the plant life, not you or your host.
Thanks for the tip! I run a shotgun mic and audio is more important. It would take a film crew and multiple cameras for that. I’ll have to check out your channel to see how a pro does it...
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL 😂😂😂
What is he doing to grow the avocados better than others?
Fruit Fuels Freedom Jason Kvestad I believe he’s selected a really good root stock he plants directly in the field. He’s then selected some great varieties he grafts directly in the field.
UN POCO DE TODO
Awesome 🙏
who does the music?
where is located this farm in costa rica.
Danilo Simpson Perez Zeldon.
2 Acres and all he does is keep telling us & reminding Us how small it is.
Do you happen to remember what the name of the "pepper tree" is?
The Mauwow Homestead I think he just called it a Costa Rican pepper. I can inquire about the variety name.
Awesome! Thank you! A perennial "bell" tree sounds like such a cool addition to my food forrest!
I wish I knew the name to pass on, but not sure. It's a perennial pepper here, but not sure in non-tropical zones.
You are not showing the trees that they keep pointing at.
Can’t we just see the flora with a lot less talk?
Hi Pete ..next time you eat Jack fruit, don't throw away the seeds. They are so delicious when cooked. Traditionally in Kerala, India we cook them with grated coconuts and onions with certain spices...So yummy plus they contain a lot of beta carotene
