Permaculture

Since its inception, our permaculture team have achieved great headway in the restoration of biological and cultural diversity at Eco Venao.

Currently the project consists of fruit, vegetable, a robust composting system, grey water recycling system, an African bee farm, composting toilets with wood chips, amazing plants and a lot of fun.

We constantly receive students to share knowledge and efforts. The French institute AgroParisTech is also involved in our project and sends us more students every year.

We still have some pretty ambitious plans for our Permaculture project here at Eco Venao. In the coming years we will be working towards:

  • Building out a diverse tropical fruit forest
  • Providing organic food for the restaurant
  • Hosting a Permaculture design course
  • Developing a waste recycling program for the entire resort
  • Designing a free-range egg producing chicken farm
  • Improving our worm nursery
  • Developing cheese production onsite from local cows
  • Exploring the creation of a local currency
  • Pursuing our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) membership

We are currently accepting Permaculture volunteer positions at Eco Venao for a 6-week minimum commitment.

Volunteers would be working directly with the leader of the permaculture project Michael Carter, on several of the activities listed above.

Please do get in touch at permaculture@ecovenao.com We would love to hear from you!

My family and I just had an incredible vacation here at Eco Venao ! . Renting a house here was the best decision for us as it gave us the space and privacy we wanted to relax , lounge around and watch the beautiful nature .

This was pretty much the perfect locale for a short vacation where we could get away from it all...you can tire yourself out on the waves and recouperate in a hammock and freak out to the sound of lightning and howler monkeys and put yourself back together with a tropical drink.
