Who we are

We don't just
grow food.
We grow soil.

Finca 588 is a family homestead built from the ground up. We raise and grow most of our food and spend our days planting, creating, and learning as we go. Inspired by permaculture principles, we have regenerated degraded cattle pasture into a thriving food forest which sustains us and our animals.

What we do

Regenerating the land,
consciously creating cycles.

Through ethical animal management, we create closed loop systems. We feed the soil, which feeds our plants, which feed our animals, which feed us. We use the power of microbes through bioamendments to regenerate the land. As part of those cycles, some of the things we make are:

Whole-animal butchery

We harvest and age our own beef and pork. Every cut honored, nothing wasted.

Artisan cheese

Grass fed goat & cow milk, made naturally and aged on site.

Tallow soap

Tallow from our grass fed beef transformed into nourishing beauty products.

Raw honey

From our own hives. Tropical flowers, unfiltered.

Fermented foods

Seasonal vegetables, living cultures, old methods.

Country wine

Pressed from fruit grown right here on the finca.

Our philosophy

Giving back
more than
we take.

We believe that the most meaningful things in life cannot be rushed. Healthy soil takes years to build. Great cheese takes time. Exceptional beef is raised season by season. Children learn through curiosity, responsibility, and time spent outdoors. Communities are formed around shared meals, honest work, and generous hospitality. Health is supported, one meal at a time.

Finca 588 is our family's attempt to create a place where these values are lived every day. We are restoring land, raising animals with care, producing exceptional food, and creating opportunities for people from around the world to reconnect with practical skills, meaningful work, and one another. Our hope is not to become a destination for everyone. Our hope is to become a place that feels like coming home for the right people.
