On the isthmus of Nicaragua is a little finca called Quinta Quijote (Keen-tah Key-ho-tay). It's not quite an up and running farm yet, or finca as it's called down here, but we're getting closer to our dream every day, despite rainy season and any number of other crazy obstacles that we've encountered in our four years of life here. My husband and I moved to this diamond in the rough country to escape the myriad US regulations regarding homesteading life and to build a home/lifestyle suited to our desires. Protection of the land is, for us, a common sense choice and not one that needs regulating. Add incredible landscapes and warm weather year round and you've got our idea of paradise, and the perfect place to call home. Self-sufficiency and living totally off grid is our goal, and towards that end we've purchased windmills for electricity and built a rain water collection system. This lifestyle is new to us and we're learning as we go, making discoveries and mistakes along the way, and enjoying the adventure of it all. Welcome to our little corner of the world, Quinta Quijote de Ochomogo! |
