Regenerative & Diverse

We began farming here in 1994, planting and harvesting organic ginger and turmeric, and promoting regenerative agriculture and conservation in the local community. We have a Certification for Sustainable Tourism in Costa Rica.

Our 127 acre regenerative farm is crisscrossed with trails through our farm, our fields, our secondary and primary rainforest, and our world-famous Sacred Seeds Sanctuary – home to over 300 species of tropical plants of medicinal and religious significance to native communities. Finca Luna Nueva is also the inaugural center for the teaching of regenerative organic agriculture in the tropics.
