History
After 4 years of searching for property in Ecuador, in 2022 we found a beautiful farm in the high Amazon Rainforest with plenty of fresh running water year-round and lots of forested space for trees and wild creatures.
Who are we?
Michael Dance (56) and Terry Chretien (62), a married vegan couple who relocated to Ecuador from the USVI in 2021.
Our primary reason for buying this property is to REFOREST the pasture land (approximately 50 hectares) with native species and fruit trees, creating more attractive habitat for wildlife and a food forest for the humans living here.
Our secondary reason for buying a large property is to have a vegan community. A safe place for vegans to live either full or part-time. We would like to co-create a community of committed, mature vegans with no dependent human children who want to live a sustainable lifestyle enjoying peaceful activities in tune with the natural environment.
