#FruitForest

2025-10-12
Finca Del Soul is the home of a developing #FoodForest with several trees producing fruit now and many more growing and starting to flower and fruit. We're watching the #Amazon #rainforest being destroyed all around us while we're planting and restoring this land, and we invite people who are conscious about the #deforestation (and environmental devastation in general) to #volunteer here and help with the #reforestation efforts.

Young fruit trees line the trail into the background leading to the other house.The view from the side window of the loft facing north looks past a coconut palm and out over the metal roof that covers the well with small fruit trees and many native trees growing up behind. In the distance, the grass hill and the neighbour's cacao monoculture are visible.The view from the rear of the loft facing north overlooks a diverse assortment of vegetation in the developing food forest, from a papaya plant up against the house to some naranjilla bushes emerging from the grass below to a mandarin tree a short distance away to the recovering native forest at the top of the hill. The neighbour's monoculture plantation of cacao is visible at the upper left of the image.The front room of the loft in the rustic wooden house features excellent airflow due to being open on the northwest side. Ornamental plants grow up against the lower part of the roof, and the other house is visible in the distance. The walls and floor of the room are adorned with hand- and foot-painted art including a large sunflower mural. A hammock hangs in the right of the photo.

Flowers from the Finca

At Finca Del Soul, we're tearing up the tools of tyranny and turning inhospitable invasives into beautiful blooming #biodiversity one plant at a time.

From cattle pasture and grass-infested coffee plantation, we re-beautify this land into a functional ecosystem with the end goal of meeting the needs of all who inhabit it. As our neighbours continue to destroy this amazing #Amazon #rainforest landscape around us, #bees #butterflies #hummingbirds and other #pollinators find refuge among the #flowers and fruits of our labour.

These flowers not only provide for the animals who are displaced by the expansion of grassland and monoculture plantations; their vibrant colours brighten our days and remind us that what we do here is making a difference, however small it may seem at times.

In an age when nature is increasingly under siege, protecting wild and free places is the ultimate form of disobedience. Cultivating beauty has become an act of protest. For us, flowers are just the beginning, a sign of what is to come: a thriving #FoodForest and a radical abundance of fruit.

We welcome you to visit our website for more information about what we do here and how to join us here as a #volunteer or start your own #reforestation project as our newest neighbour.

🌿✨ From Grass to Paradise ✨🌿

Just one year ago, this land was a tired monoculture coffee plantation full of grass—ugly, lifeless, and a maintenance nightmare. Now it’s transforming with colourful flowers, fruit trees, and buzzing with #jungle energy 🐝🌸

Every tree we plant brings us closer to a self-sustaining food forest—a place where nature thrives, wildlife returns, and we harvest #abundance straight from the land 🌴🥭

We invite volunteers to come plant, learn, and live wild with us in the beautiful #Amazon 🌳💚

👉 Send a DM or hit the link in our profile to join the jungle adventure.

First flower bud! I count at least 16 tiny buds on this tree. I have four trees, but they are all pretty young and I am inexperienced with this type of fruit tree.

I’m so excited to see that some of my and scions are beginning to form leaves! This is my first attempt, and I’ve heard that these trees are notoriously difficult to root. (Normally, you’d graft these scions onto an existing tree, but I don’t have a mature tree to graft onto.)
