Homesteading
Finca ChakanaCruz has been designed as a self-reliant, self-sufficient, permaculture farm that produces most of what its workers and residents consume. With excess to sell or barter locally.
Gourmet Coffee
ChakanaCruz Coffee will be the farm's flagship product and exported internationally
Food Park
The Food Park has over 100 medicinal and beneficial trees lining four different gardens for herbs, water plants, vegetables and flowers. The double spiral in the center will be a constantly changing design of colorful vegetables and flowers.
Tilapia Ponds
ChakanaCruz has three ponds for tilapia. The main pond holds 125,000 gallons and irrigates the Food Park and orchard.
Fruit Orchard
The orchard has over 350 fruit and citrus trees.
We have a dozen different citrus and banana trees as well as avocado, mango, papaya and others.
Greenhouse
The greenhouse is used to start plants and to allow some to go to seed for exchanging with others.
Beekeeping
ChakanaCruz has honey bees as well as rare stingless bees that produce medicinal honey
Dairy & Cattle
We raise Brown Swiss milk cows and Brahma mixed bulls for meat.
We will also raise chickens and rabbits.
