Sacred Suenos

Near Villcabamba, Loja,

Ecuador

We are a forming organic farming community located in southern Ecuador, believing in blending personal happiness with ecological and social responsibility. We make our decisions through consensus, and practice voluntary simplicity and permaculture. We enjoy sharing, not only between ourselves, but also outside of our community through agricultural and social outreach.

We purchased undeveloped land in June 2004. Our population as of yet is usually made up of one or two co´s living full time on the farm and another one to three co´s living here seasonally. There is usually between 4-8 people living on the farm, consisting of a mixed group of permanent residents and and volunteers.
