What's in Season: Farm-Fresh Delights
Our farm thrives on diversity, cultivating a wide array of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Each season brings its own harvest, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh, nutritious options for our community. Currently, we are cultivating plantains, papayas, pumpkins, coconuts, ornamental plants, palms, and trees. Additionally, we are raising chickens and sheep as part of our diverse agricultural system, ensuring a balanced and resilient farm.
The journey from our fields to your plate is a short one. Our on-site restaurants and markets are supplied directly by our organic farm, guaranteeing that the food you enjoy is as fresh and flavorful as possible. This farm-to-table approach not only supports sustainable agriculture but also allows our chefs to craft menus that highlight the best of each season's offerings.
Meet Our Farm Visionaries
Leading our agricultural endeavors is Ingrid Rivas, an agronomist with over 35 years of experience. Her dedication to sustainable farming, biodiversity, and soil regeneration has helped shape Moncayo Farm into a thriving, resilient ecosystem.
Alongside her is Radames Arroyo, a civil engineer specializing in structures, hydrology, and surveying. His expertise in construction and farm-related projects has been instrumental in designing efficient, sustainable infrastructure on the farm.
Together, Ingrid and Radames have worked on transforming the land at Moncayo Farm. Initially focusing on monoculture, they quickly realized the necessity of biodiversity after facing a complete crop loss. This experience led them to embrace regenerative agriculture, improving drainage by working with the land’s natural contours, creating ditches, and enhancing growing areas.
Beyond providing fresh produce, the farm at Moncayo offers a range of experiences for members
Learn about sustainable farming, gardening, and cooking with fresh produce
Celebrate seasonal harvests with events that showcase the farm’s local bounty
Connect with land and community by joining hands-on experiences at the farm
Education is at the heart of our mission. We aim to inspire younger generations by teaching them the value of working with the land. Visitors will not only enjoy fresh, locally grown food but will also have the opportunity to learn how to incorporate these ingredients into their meals through cooking workshops.
At Moncayo Farm, we are dedicated to growing alongside the community, ensuring that our efforts benefit both the land and the people. Our vision is to create a sanctuary where visitors and workers can reconnect with nature, reduce stress, and develop a deeper appreciation for the simple things in life. By practicing regenerative agriculture, maintaining zero waste, and promoting composting, we are committed to nurturing both the environment and future generations.
