Terra Frutis is a homesteading intentional community in tropical Ecuador. We are working together on planting a food forest aimed at sustainably feeding 20+ people on a plant-based diet. Superb climate, streams, river access, and a quite remote location, there is much potential for a thriving community and excellent fruit.
Our mission is to be a vegan intentional community, taking inspiration from agroforestry, permaculture and syntropic agriculture to produce abundant and diverse food for a healthy, high raw vegan diet, in an environment where animals and humans thrive together. We hope to be an inspiration and to share our knowledge and methods.
We practise sustainability, non-violent communication and consensus based decision-making, and seek self reliance.
