Tour This Permaculture Neighborhood w/ Costa Rica's Stephen Brooks

- Imagine a whole neighborhood full of tropical fruits on every lot, on every embankment & around any corner. Then combine the lush food forest with the most impressive community garden, river access, great spaces & even a well-planned biogas system that creates energy from each home's septic waste. All of this intelligent design can be found at La Ecovilla's permaculture community, in San Mateo, Costa Rica
When it comes to seeking out those teachers with experience in permaculture-inspired projects, Stephen Brooks is most-definately a top choice. Prior to the Ecovilla project you see in this footage, Stephen created the Punta Mona Center for Regenerative Design (20 years ago now). He now also runs the Envision Festival at the Punta Mona site, so be sure to follow his trail through any of his projects:

Awesome video!! Always great to see my Bro Stephen spreading the good word! Keep up the great work Pete!!
Thanks bro! I'll see you in a few weeks👊
owe a debt of gratitude to these innovators who discovered you can grow plants around your house and eat them.
"Can't go on wasting all this good 💩" .... That quote is pretty much gold! I hope the laugh factor helps it stick in people's minds. He says it in such a way that is both hilarious and profound.
This whole Costa Rica permaculture tour is incredible !!
John Childs thank you!👊
“Waste is just a resource we haven’t found out what to do with yet”
Love this guy. Very wise. His confidence is inspiring as well
This truly made my soul sing!!! This is the dream I have been envisioning for many years! I need to learn more about this and what living in this paradise is like.
I am a healing expressive art therapist and I know that I would make a helpful and positive difference in a community such as this! Perhaps this would be a beautiful place to share my many gifts, love and energy!
I wish I had the money to start something like this! It’s beautiful!!😍
Thank you Pete for an exceptional vid! Now that is what i call paradise. Light and love to all you beautiful souls making this planet a better place to be one garden at a time :)
As screwed up as things are in the bigger world, communities and concepts such as this show that there ARE solutions. There IS hope! Thanks for posting this great video.
Thank you!
This is heaven on earth. The way to Eden. I soo love this. This is the Life. What do I need to have this life? What skills? What ?
This is how I want to live
Kristi in Wonderland for real! This is living 🙌
I’ve fallen in love with Costa Rica. Re-planning my goals
I’ve been in love! Good luck
Just when you think the tour is over... the videos just keep coming and coming!! Keep the inspiration coming Pete! I need all I can get lol!
You have at least 4 more videos buddy! Im going back the end of April for more.
That's AWESOME news!! These videos get me so fired up to get in my own permaculture garden!
"We can't go around wasting all this good shit" 🤣🤣🤣 great play on words, brother.
🙌
This is very relaxing. Your music choice is very good
Type beat is amazing. Some songs have words. But its mainly repeat beats. So soothing! I downloaded some to the iPod for working in clients gardens.
I love how you guys just shared the cashew fruit instead of being like “eww you bit it” like no there’s nothing wrong with that! 💚💚
Ahh man, this may be one of my favorites from you guys yet!! Such a pleasure to watch!
Stephen Brooks has done some amazing work down there in CR! An awesome person with a great message to share!
Discovery Duo this is definitely one I'll never forget! Hanging with Stephen was a blast 👊
This community was done right!
Overwhelming abundance, magnificent system and community layout, Stephen. Pete I'm feeling very spoilt being able to view these beautifully produced and informative videos of places I am very unlikely to be able to get to, in person. Thank you.
This is my dream!!♥️♥️♥️ Our family will be moving to the Central Valley next month!!!! Will definitely have to check this out when we get there.
So beautiful. What a great looking place for those children to grow up in!
I enjoyed the paradise tour, thx for sharing, cheers
Absolutely beautiful. This is living at its best.
I wish someone would build something like this but smaller homes an less expensive, It would be great too retire but the huge home burn up energy lifestyle is what I would want to get away from. With all that community use areas I would just need a 1 or 2 bedroom with a great patio funded by retirement income. Great video, very inspiring.

Wow just beautiful! Absolutely amazing, super jealous we don’t have such amazing fruits trees like that up here in Canada 🇨🇦
My son's(father's side) family is from Guatemala on the border of El Salvador and the Marañon fruit(cashew fruit) is diced up with apple into water and we make a drink out of it called "Ensalada". And when you're done you can eat the fruit out of the bottom. At least I do! :D
Hey Kimber! That sounds really yummy 😋
That's a nice place. It looks like they could just air dry the mangos as hot as it is down there and use the methane to cook with and make biochar. I have never used biochar for anything, but I just started making some to try to make energy dense batteries. Activated carbon from hemp is supposed to have as great an energy density as lithium ion, I don't have any hemp right now and don't know the exact process for activating it. The whole idea with these types of batteries is they are not harmful to the environment and they should be a lot cheaper to make than to buy batteries. Thanks Pete that was a great tour, I just missed it when it came out.
Bro! This part of CR is amazing. The climate is unreal, low humidity and very comfortable. You need a jacket at nights.
Beautiful!
Stephen, las personas pobres con cultura, podemos vivir en esos lugares trabajando en murales, construcción, costura, cocina, limpieza, etc. I can speack English, I love animals and plantas, soy Ana Leticia de Costa Rica🌳🌱🕊️🐸🙏🕯️🤗
Vivo en Costa Rica soy tica y mi pareja y yo tenemos una propiedad en Cobano y sueño con algo así es bellísimo!!! Felicidades!!!
I live in Costa Rica My partner and I have a property in Cobano, nearly of Montezuma and I dream with something like this!!! Congratulations!!!
That’s awesome! Congrats, you guys live in paradise 🌴
This was one of the most enjoyable videos I've ever watched. The stonework is really beautiful, the plants (the bamboo 16:13) look really healthy and the biogas processing is amazing! The water features are pretty phenomenal, too. The whole place is gorgeous (wow that teak yoga space!) and very inspiring. Thanks, Pete.
Crystal Pope we are so happy to have had the chance to capture all this awesomeness!
It went right onto my Permaculture video list and I will be using it for ideas for my new place in Oregon.
im from Iran and ur videos is most relaxing clip that i see this days,gj and keep on,peace
Thank you!
the cat kept following you guys :D
Love this! So beautiful! ❤️
Stunning!
This is an incredible place.
WOW !! Beauty, Aesthetics & Food...I have said the same thing...and what I try to promote...but this guy (and place) is extraordinary !
A little extra motivation for all of us buddy!
Another great video Pete.
awesome edit
To answer your doubt about cashews from India
The sunny state of Goa produces quality cashew nuts and the fruit, turned into delicious alcohol. Very country style, but spot on.
Two of the coolest people ever in ONE video! YES!! 🤯😆
So inspiring!!!
Absolutely incredible. Nice work!
Thank you!
Oh My! I want to live there! AMAZING! 🌱 Grown on Green Dreams indeed! 👊
calendula fields nursery and some say Costa Rica is a third world country.
ha ha ha - I wonder what their basis for comparison is! 😉 Thank you for showing us such amazing places and beautiful ways to live! Grown on man! 🌱👊
stephen brooks the man!
oh, my God. this is my dream. how can I live there?
Interesting place, awesome awesome video wonderful ideas..harmony .. amazing and beautiful the videos are so amazing I got excited when I saw that there was another video uploaded
This one had so much good stuff going on. More to come :)
Another great video. Love the chill hop in the background. Perfect soundtrack for the tour. This is better than the hippie commune concept. This is a hybrid of that concept. Really cool.
Thank you! I agree this concept is very adaptable by the main steam.
Love it!!!
Magnificent
Its amazing i love it i wish to visit the place .
Awesome place
Can I come and live there?This is paradise!!!!!
Good question. Im not sure if they still have lots available.
This is phenomenal. Really inspiring ❤
I live in Costa Rica I would love to visit!
I wanna live in Costa Rica!
Omg .... you've just created paradise .... lucky you.
This place is something else!
so cool! i know that many cities around the world already convert the sewage into treated compost and then sell it, however it's kept hush hush for obvious marketing reasons
This one is just epic! guys keep going that's so great to see so much permaculture site, specially some old one now :).
rameyrez that's the plan. I'm never stopping 👊
Sharing this video as much as possible!!
Thanks 🙏
Kewl! Good job! Good perspective! Good intention!
🌴You guys are my Heroes.
This is the Way to Live🌴🏕
I'm in love with this video
Sick property
paradise
“Can’t go on wasting all this good shit”
Dude, I would never want to go home if I were you lol
Rusted Oak Homestead don't get me started 😬
then again you have a pretty cool life.... jealous all round!
When I envision a good world this video what I see! My hope and dream is to make a community like this in the United States! Thanks for this series!
Just realized I haven’t subscribe yet! I’m subscribe now :)
“All from shit man all from our poop” This guy is epic!
This my idea of an ideal community also! Thanks for subbing👊 #epicshit
Truth!
"waste is just a resource we haven't figured out what to do with yet"
I would love to know more about the community aspect? Who takes care of all the gardens? Who cleans the school house and builds the community spaces? I'd really like to hear more on that, how do you come to collective agreements? Who harvests and collects and then distributes all the fruit? Thanks!
The people.
@@JonathanBaileyn2u it could always be a good follow up video, talking about the community aspect of living a life like this. I live in an off grid permaculture community in Maui and it's really interesting how things work from the inside.
@@MissLilyVideos hey Lily I hope you are doing well :)
I'm considering checking out a permaculture community where I can meet new like-minded people and live close to the land & community
I'd be happy to know more about your experiences and if you have any tips & recommendations for places to go to :)
Thank you
@@MissLilyVideos what kind of conmunity? a normal village neighborhood or an ecovillage where houses and everything is shared?
not bad we can grow most of those trees looks like hes liven the life
What is the value of harmony? What is the cost of conflict? Thank you all.
I grew up in India around cashew plantations. We mostly fed the cows with the fruits, ate them, sometimes sold the fruits in the street corner. Most of the time when we collect the fallen cashew, the fruit is already rotten or dried...feeds the soil!
That's the dream.... one day baby... I'll be there too : )
Where can I buy a Green Dream t-shirt to help support you guys? Thank you for all you do! Much love
Pretty sweet! So, I am curious what sort of data rates folks in these fiber communities are pulling? Is it possible to be a digital nomad in a community like this? Food forests SHOULD be the future and NOW everywhere!
It was said - community - why nobody of this community showed on this video ???
I watched the Zack scrim down to earth episode about this community and the funniest Part was when Stephen was showing the “communal garden” that conveniently had all baby new different plants like they had just been planted. Total coincidence I’m sure for the show lmfao.
i live here and collect my basket every saturday.
I got all those in naples fl
Hi, it’s sooo beautiful! I wish I could have a nice property like that! Do they have a fig tree, persimmon tree, blueberry and bitter melons in Costa Rica? Thank you so much.
Living the natural way in harmony with mother nature's abundance...simple living,high thinking...soo brilliant, truly wise community...will love to visit for a month...am a primary school teacher who grew up on a farm in Trinidad 🇹🇹 will love to volunteer my time to this heaven on earth 🌎 our mother.True wealth of wisdom, peace and love humanity community Living in harmony with nature's.
How do you make sure everyone is contributing? What are some jobs people may outside of the community?
Do you know where I can get this t shirt steohe is wearing?
PETE I'm going to Costa Rica in March! Is there a spot that the public can visit that you would really recommend?!?!
Also what fruit can we expect in early March?
Do any Costa ricans live here? fantastic community.
Yes, lots of locals live in the community.
Pete, If you stay any longer you might not come back!
JB Bopp and then what? 😜
I need his t-shirt. Anyone know who sells them?
Love it, like back home in indonesia 💖
Arinda _503 I'd like to visit Indonesia one day. #bucketlist
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL 👍🙏🏻we welcome you here.
@@Miss_cin2 then you have to go back home lol... Bikin pertanian permaculture di kampung jauh dari kota wowww... Can't wait for that time
And what was that flower you smelt?
Whats the beginning song?
may i copy in my account, and give translate. this is like a prestigotator man. so amazing.
Hey Elga! Not sure what your asking? Sorry
Pete when are you coming back? I want to buy some trees.
I really wanna visit. plzhelp!
Where can a sign up 🐊
Can I visit?
When can I move in
Leam Godfrey right? This is the dream community.
Whenever you have 1 million dollars, unfortunately this place is not meant for us common people.
Can't go on wasting all this good shit... literally :')
🤪
A very woke pato....pretty Campana plant; but don't be making any tea with it or you may not come back ever:-)
Freaking awesome Pete; we got to bring that HOA concept here in FL.
Thank you! I hope the HOA of the future looks like this in FL.
💫💞💫
"The most unbelievable fertilizers come from our ass"... Very true and funny the way he said it! Cool video, cool place to live! Make room for me... I'm coming home!
Stephen is hilarious! Plenty of room in the new neighborhood! Drop me an email and I’ll connect you with the developer. GreenDreamsfl@yahoo
Yes you can grow if you know how to grow costa rica have better soil but you can do it in fl if know how
What's growing on?!
