Join us on this exceptional agritourism experience, where you will immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Coquira Soil Project, an agroecological livestock farm just 70 minutes from Panama City or 45 minutes from Tocumen Intl Airport.
During this field day, you will learn about sustainable livestock practices. You'll discover how high-density holistic grazing is a crucial regenerative component for soil health and a primary tool against erosion and desertification. You will also witness how waste from one area of the farm is reused in another (including the bioconversion through insect protein production), promoting a closed circular economy.
The experience starts at 8 am, and there is plenty to see and do. As soon as you check in you will run into our forage bank, and the vast amount of information and nutritional wealth the tropical ecosystems provide. You will then make your way up to the Visitors Centre for coffee, breakfast, bathrooms, and explore our food forest and permaculture gardens until the tour on tractor begins at 10am.
First we will ride towards cattle which we will see grazing in a serene and natural environment. We will share all you want to know about the role of sustainable livestock in food security and combating global warming. On the way we will also see horses and sheep, aiding us in the landscaping and fertility in every corner of the farm. We will make brief stops at our Composting facility, then through the greenhouses for our silvopastoril and food forest projects, chickens, ducks and our organic waste bioconversion through the black soldier fly.
We will return to the centenarian farmhouse where you can stroll through any section marvellous edible forests you did not reach before and the variety of sustainably grown fruits and tubers in the most sustainable manner. Keep exploring and you will run into crops and herds of ducks controlling the insects, and when you are ready, our seasonal restaurant will provide you with what you want, straight from the source.
You will also have time to purchase fresh organic meats and other harvests of the day to take with you.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about sustainable food production at this unique tropical farm, very near Panama City!
