Rare Tropical Fruit Collector HAS IT ALL: Trekking Paul Zink's 7-Year-Old Food Forest
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- This tropical botanical collection is already exploding with production, in only 7 years after planting this impressive food forest! Meet Paul Zink, of Finca Madre, in Alajuela, Costa Rica where he is now producing up to 430 different edible species. We get to take you along on a trek through this mountainside landscape to check out what's ripening about this time (filmed April 2018.)
We captured so many highlights at this top notch farm that we had to split it into 2 parts. Be sure to see Paul's harvest for market, along with some other clips that will leave you with new advice & inspiration. We hope you are subscribed to our channel so you can stay up to date as soon as our latest videos are released.
Paul runs a one-of-a-kind AirBnb experience called the 'IncrEdible Secret Garden', which is so much more than a garden visit. He offers a 3 hour experience of rare fruits, snacks & drinks which all come from the land. You get to harvest some of it for yourself as well!

You can also find Paul with his produce at the Feria Verde (market) in San Juan, Costa Rica. For market information & address - www.feriaverde...

This is exactly how I wanna live my life. Big land and plant nothing but exotic fruit trees and some chickens for eggs. You're so lucky
Sell your house in the states and move to south America where land is dirt cheap and only a flight away from your old friends and family :)
I have regular size garden, something like 300 Square meters, where I planted 62 tropical fruit trees. You don't need too much of anything really, to be happy.
i hope you made it happen bro
@@alexandertabor1215 living here in San Diego seemed impossible 😩😔 . Hope you're living your best life🙏🤙🍻
This man literally doesn’t live in the world! He lives on earth ! Inspired to start growing my own garden !
Jeremiah Johnson thats awesome man people where made to feed there selves. There’s Nothing like growing raising and hunting your own food. Nothing is more natural.
That’s awesome Jeremiah! Wishing you luck with that food forest 👊
@lea H yup!! Check the end of my most recent video, it’s so much growing currently 🙌🏽
Honestly, there is something I can’t explain that drowns me to the jungle and watching this video just makes me to feel like I should just walk right into it. This is very lovely and thanks for sharing
i love how he eats all the fruits in front of them and hear them begging for a taste
Haha damn pain
Jew haha
I was thinking the exact same thing. Like he already knows what it tastes like, lol
insensitive fellow
Haaa 😂 weird little frightening also
*It's like a private botanical garden.*
He will sell a lot of fruit, when the trees grow big.
Thx. for creating more natural and sustainable spaces on our planet !
Pretty much! Paul’s place is next level
Videos like this make me question every decision i've made in my life. Such a beautiful place and as a "plant nerd" this food forest is amazing.
🙌
I come to these videos and I realize that I'm living the wrong life haha.
I hope that you are not a colonist like these 4.
Never too late to start then...
@@encyclobbuilding2473 Why?
@@ryanpedersen5722
Why what?
@@encyclobbuilding2473 why do you hope theyre not colonist and what do you mean by it and why did you say it?
Proud of our son Paul Zink. Can’t wait to come home to Finca Madre! The waterfall is calling, the crazy delicious fruits, veggies, peace, and the warmth of my Costa Rica family and friends. 🥰💗
Janet Morgan l can see why you’re so proud! They’re both doing some amazing work. The farm and waterfalls are amazing too 😉
Does he eat meat though ? Seems he could go vegan legit unlike people who rely on grocery stores.But i except he still eats meat.
Sounds like someone should move to Costa Rica... :)
aweee this was cute ^^
Seems like y’all raised him right!
I come back to watch this video because it completely takes me out of my mind when I’m stressed in the constant sinking ship of a society human beings have created. At the very core of my heart I just want to be in nature eating fruit and working out. The music behind these videos and energy you all give is art 🖤✨🌱
Love it man! 🙏
same! reminds me of what true success looks like (the kind society doesn't want to acknowledge is possible). We'll get there one day!
I retire from the military in a year! Watching these videos just gave me a whole new meaning of what I will be doing during retirement on my land in Florida! Thank you guys!
Yes!!! Awesome man 👊
I choose hilly landscape with a forest hillside and a water over flat farmland ANY day of the week. This is the BEST property out of all the ones you have been to in Costa Rica. An absolute paradise. What a lucky dude to own this slice of heaven.
Phangz 83 definitely an epic and unique pice of land! Paul is doing amazing work here and globally:)
😳❤️👍🏼
I have no idea how many times I have watched this video but I am addicted of watching Paul and of course Pete. But my fav garden is Paul's BY FAR! He is like a human elf, sleeping in trees and using plants for all sort of things and Pete really interested and amazed as well... both extra sweet and interesting!!!! Thank you RUclips for opening way to this kind of videos and people who are delicious to watch and listen!
Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words. We are just two guys doing what we love ❤️
We need people that love EARTH like YOU.
This is amazing !!!!!!! may his forest continue to flourish beautifully
What’s so nice is that it all looks so natural. Love the fertility and natural composting and mulching by leaving things to nature. Well done.
Oh It looks like our place when I was a child ...when my father was still alive..We have lots of fruit tress and also bamboos, ..and seeing your place makes me teary eyed with joy...how I miss my childhood days..loved your video..Thank you for sharing..
Awesome! You must have had an amazing childhood 🙌
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Indeed:) Ill be waiting for your part 2 Video.. So excited 😃
Eurs Bantillo part 2 was posted a while ago. Did it not link right after?
Will check it out after my kids School..Yey..More power to your Channel..more subs and Views
The reaction of the team tasting the cavier fruit had me wanting to taste! The smile and appreciation on the faces! Awesome!
I have one and while it's interesting, it's not anything I would buy now that I'm familiar with it. It tastes acidic like lime, distinctly of citrus with a slight bitterness, the distinction being that the individual juice vesicles are thick walled and not connected to the others. I'm guessing their reaction was for the camera more than for the flavor.
Great video, I'm from Jamaica and it's great to know that you know so much about our country. Ackee is an awesome fruit we normally pair it with cod fish, chicken, mackerel. Real tasty
Thanks man! I wanna visit Jamaica one day.
What a paradise 👍
With that waterfall he could make a trompe. And meet all his power and refrigeration needs. Full circle permaculture.
The waterfall is gorgeous. This fruit forest is heavenly.
He is a rich man having that kind of a simple life,now everyone jealous.😱
Because he can afford to live with less. Most people cant do that. Ever heard the saying “Its more expensive to be poor”
I was doing slow burn as I watch this guy not offer a piece of fruit to each one of the guys to try it. Instead once or twice he offer them the one piece he had already slobber. What a miser!!
He is living the dream. A tropical food forest paradise, right in the yard! Thanks for sharing Pete, great channel brother.
Paul is the man! Thank you 🙏
wow i'd pay to visit this dude, i've never seen so many of my childhood foods in the same place still on the trees
Paul’s site is epic! He does have offer an Airbnb experience if you visit Costa Rica 😉
I'm feeling love, respect and jealousy at the same time for this gentleman.
Thanks a lot to you and your team.
Always love watching your videos.
Thanks! 😊
He's living my dream life. Best wishes in all that u do
@Everything money i guess
The American dream is not the only option
Yromiszy Dejesus you want to come to Jamaica to see the real country life
We share dream
I am a chef transitioning to farming......why am i so in love w costa rica?great job uncle pete!!!!your personal chef is ready for eden!!!!
I am a nursing student and am thinking the samething.
Andrew Stacey because it’s epic here! Will have the chef location sooner then later 😉
This stuff is SO AMAZING, thank you for getting my fire for growing things reignited - and keeping my passion strong for tropical fruits! This is great stuff. Ty again :)
.
Love how humble you guys are. ... Blessings

3.& to keep doing his thing😎👍👍
Agreed!! 👊
So happy to see someone appreciating tropical fruits and keeping the harvest going. Keep collecting more tropical and semi-tropical fruits. Just love your orchard and waterfall which makes it so beautiful. Wish I could own a piece of land in a similar clime and location. Glad u can do it.
Paul is a legend! I can’t wait to see this place in 10 years.
I'm blissfully happy setting up my food forest in Florida, but must admit, this Costa Rican paradise beckons...bucket list perhaps...
Milkweed Dreams I hear you on that! I’m dreaming of a Costa Rica retirement 🙏
Sounds like we need to do a group tour!
What a fab video of an amazing food forest! Heaven on earth. This young man is super blessed.
WOW!
Paradise on earth, great job man!
Andrey Wagner 🙌
Thanks for the stroll, I feel more alive just looking at these videos. Will love to have my own paradise like this one day.
Omg.. this is like a dream of mine, being a fruit lover 😩😍
Its inspiring the difference one person can make, geeking out on botany!
My kind of geeking out! 🤓
The waterfall would inspire me to make a little pool so I could dip myself after a long day of work.🥰🥰🥰.
I watched this is absolute amazement last night. This is straight out of my most lush dreams
Seriously! Paul’s place is amazing 🙌
Pilipino coconut wow lots of fruits, my favorite jackfruit
You are amazing to take care of fruits.😍❤️
Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭😉
Awesome! Much love Philippines 🙌
Shows you can really survive off the land everything you need to eat , water drink , waterfall to shower. Love it
Definitely in Costa Rica! This isn’t so easy in other climates.
Such a beautiful and knowledgeable journey 🏞️💕 i wanna taste those fruits and feel nature just wow it was ❤️
Paul’s place is amazing 🙌
Yeah, I just rewatched this whole thing. This may be my favorite food forest site I have ever seen in my entire life.
Canadian Permaculture Legacy that’s awesome! Just wait for part 2, even better!
Wow! really?! Thank you!
@@PaulZink1 Paul, your place is nuts! This is a video I'm probably going to watch 50 times, right up there with the Zaytuna farm tour.
Funny story, we look somewhat similar, and when my wife saw you up in that tree she said "oh look, it's your twin". I'm always up in my trees.
This guy is incredibly inspiring.
great, wonderful, I hope you make more special experience with your jungle
Wow!!!! And that waterfall and spring !
Carmelo Santini seriously never disappointing in CR!
Thank you very much for sharing your place. you're in paradise. It's awesome.
I think mostly of your fruit trees are from Philippines. Kaimito, mabolo, coconut, wow
GORGEOUS. I especially love the bamboo pipe gardens and aerial shots.
Right! Paul’s place is seriously epic.
This guy is a legend!!🙏
Thanks Pete for the Costa Rica tour! Inspiration for our windward 4 acre agricultural land on The Big Island. Getting bit by the right eye with wasp does, in fact, suck.🤙
See you some time in the near future- stay blessed!
I am from India and I love your garden full of many exotic fruits.
ALWAYS WAITING FOR YOUR NEW VIDEO ESPECIALLY FROM COSTARICA !!!!
1973m hahah thanks! One more from this series and we’re taking a little break from CR. Don’t worry I’ll be back this summer:)
Big land with plenty kinds of plants. What a beautiful life surrounded by nature !

"I like to walk around barefoot, man, so like, I don't plant anything with spines, man."
Gives tour in shoes
yes this was a mindphuq
don't want a clumsy cameraman stepping on your bare feet lol I'll go barefoot alone but not around other people, ouch.
Indeed. And the comment about going barefoot alone but not with other people around..... you have NOT walked bare feet enough mate. No one EVER stepped on my feet. Bare or not. You are not from a real bare feet world for SURE
I might move slower too, but it is mostly depending if the terrain is known or not. I would be faster barefoot than my city grown nephew at my home island. When walking/climbing uphill paths i have a better feel of the surface barefeet. No slipping on loose gravel, no slipping on steep rocks. I just can not imagine how anybody would step on my feet. Fast walkers or slow walkers.....
this came up exactly as this line came across, wow....
Hi Paul and Pete! I wanted to let you know, that especially this video anchored my vision to start my own food forest, about 2 years ago, when I first stumbled acros this topic during lockdowns. During the last week I startet with the first plantings of my future 1ha food forest in the "mediterranean" part of Switzerland! Thank you both for the inspiration!
Much love, Paul
That is awesome!
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Happy my message still reached you!
Man I'd smoke a joint and just wonder thru all that really is heaven on earth
Kevin Rivera man just what i was thinking
ive watched this video about 6 times now along with the following video - love this farm so much - i aspire to have my own farm this way one day
this dude gets his vitamins
Pete, this vid was amazing to watch.... finding or hearing and learning about these food forest people is WOW !!
Thank you! Paul Zink is a favorite for me too. I’ll be back in CR hanging with Paul next week 👊
I would love to have a farm like that and also collect rare fruits! I’m excited to have my own
This is living!
Videos like this give me inspiration and hope in growing my own food forest.
That’s awesome Jordan! You can do it 👊
Man, you're killing it. Glad I subbed.
Go Zink!
jameswoll thanks bro! 👊
absolutely off the charts! Great work, Paul!
The video was like finding pot of Gold at Rainbows end
FortMyers FruitForest 🙌🙌🙌
Very surprised and impressed sushi came up as a natural and as the choice of you guys! フツーに寿司にして食べたら美味そうだって言葉が出てきたのに驚きました！
Amazing! This is THE future for humans. ❤️

Should... could.. its on us!
Mario Vizcaino that it is. Ball is in our court.
it was the distant past...
many don't care enough or too lazy
Absolutely beautiful Pete! Thank you 🙏 for sharing. This was our family’s movie 🍿 for movie 🎥 night. Definitely better than Hollywood.
The Apple’s Food Forest FARMacy love it guys! Thanks for the support:)
Epic👍🏼
You have a good place with a lot of fruit bearing plants, mine is still on the process of growing and it’s only in our back yard
So nice to have tropical fruits in your backyard..
Most of them just grow in my backyard back in my home and im wasting my life here in America. Oh my god.
I'm totally in love with that mature ackee tree
You have so many fruits that are known to us Filipino. The green sour fruit is we call it Kamias, the star apple we call it Kaimito. I think you also have the Kalamansi, a tiny green citrus.
Hey I'm from Costa Rica thank you guys for coming to my country and doing these lovely videos, that actually inspired me to do something just like it.
I really love forest.. It looks like philippines.
Good to see you're still thriving Paul 😊
those pickle fruits taste delicious with salt and water. Ferment if for a month in a closed jar and boom..you got yourself a good appetizer.
Thank you for upload na ka
Nice trip and video, thanks for sharing it with us. Awesome place and fruit trees in the Tropics.
Peter A thank you 🙏
Great video. That is one of the best food forests I’ve ever seen . Simply amazing
I wish you would show more of the things this chap is talking about instead of focusing the camera on him so much..
Amazing guy, can't really discribe how much im thankful for having such people on earth.
Sirkov 🙌
Thanks Sirkov!!
What's the name of that fruit that was used by the iIncas because it is high in omega 3 and 6 in the video at 7:56...I'm trying to look it up online how exactly is it spelt....sachienchi?
Edit. I googled Inca Peanut and found the name Sacha Inchi and the scientific name Plukenetia volubilis. I'm so getting these on my farm in South America. Looking forward to new videos...new subscriber here 😁
diggin that chillhop playing in the back, essential. Fruits and chillhop, no better life.
🙌
Wooow those Hard Mushrooms are called Reishi and they are amazing. I make tea out of them it really help me with my acne and digestive system. It's really hard to find those mushrooms here in the States.
Field and forest sells the spores for those
tropical fruits is amazing, tasty & delicious
He's like Patrick Bateman but mellowed out and suppressed his psychotic tendency in this paradise.
I'm with Trey....I want one of those trees! His face tells the story of how delicious it is! 430 fruit varieties! That's what is growing on!!
Teri Jean seriously! I’m buying one to keep in a container. This site was mind blowing!
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I'm happy and sad that part #2 will be the last of the tour. Hope Gavin, Mel and you all enjoy your 2019 trip! Was great way to end our whiplash from the polar vortex!
You know hes knowledgeable when he says the fruit names correctly
Literally raining in my mouth while watching you tasting all those fantastic fruits.
Petre Domingo virtually sharing fruit my friend!
Just remember my childhood in the remote area of Mindanao. When we felt hungry and need to have snacks, we just climbed up the mountain to find some wild fruits like; wild jack fruit, wild Rambo tan, wild lansones, wild bananas, wild Cherries, marang, etc. And all are organic
Same here. I never knew what I had until I came to America and paid through the teeth for some force ripened fruit
That was awesome, thanks for taking us with!
Alrachid thank you! Glad you enjoyed
Oh we have so many Kaimito's fruit trees here in Bohol,Philippines❤❤❤
Rhalaine Cimafranca that’s awesome! It’s a wonderful fruit ❤️
Bitaw daghan kaimito sa atoa sa bohol hahahaha
bisag wa. haha
All those fruits!! And that waterfall? It's heaven 😭😍 I'd never leave. Any tips for growing a breadfuit tree in a smallish space?
Jealous! Here in UK we have apples and pears a few soft fruits plums strawberry maybe the odd grape.
I watched this video about 4 time’s 👍👍👍 thank you very much for all this info
Love it!
Jackruit seed is delicious. Just boil the seeds, it's yum.
