Finca Yantza Ecuador NOV 2018 status

Retrospective 3 Years Finca Yantza

Currently 3rd year. This has been similar to a start-up kind of lifestyle to be honest. Extremely interesting but also very very intense in all possible directions. We have been focusing on a holistic approach so not only food abundance or constructions but also finding the right local contacts – this part has show to be a very good time investment and I highly recommend doing so. Inspiration is a very powerfull tool. So are people and local cultural behavioral patterns. Obviously it has been key to integrate into the existing local social system for better understand the functioning. Before starting the farm we lived like digital nomads exploring possible countries and sites for our initial farm idea. Different reality also to our previous lives in urban areas in the heart of Europe.
