Roots in Bocas

Our family has farmed these lands since before The Beatles and Woodstock existed. It was during the heyday of the famous Chiquita Banana corporation, back then, known as the United Fruit Company.


We are devoted on working, and protecting these fields as has been done by our ancestors.

All our methods and practices serve a purpose. We invite you to visit and experience the mystique of our farm life.


History

Our beginnings

The United Fruit Co. purchased these lands in the early 1900's to expand their production of banana within the region. The effort was deemed a failure due to increased tensions within the union, and a contract was finally created which allowed for the acquiring of the land by a group of local Ganaderos, amongst them Mario Guardia, Marcel Penso, Fabian Velarde & Jim Berlin.  

Mario Guardia Jaen later became the founding president of the national cattle farmers organization (ANAGAN).

A generational change

As time went by, a second generation stepped in to care for the land. During this time the farm had up to 10,000 cattle heads, and spanned over 5,000 ha (12,000 ac). 

Through all the turmoil the region has gone through, we've been here. Resilience can be a proper way to describe the efforts.

Life long friendships were cast during these days within the international bananeros community, as one of the few Panamanian families living within. 

The future

Post pandemic has enlightened our view towards nature, our approach to this new moment in time has become a priority. Diversifying our activities is a plan in action. We offer an off grid with the necessary tools to be as connected as you desire.  

Being self sufficient on food supplies is a rewarding challenge, it is one we take upon our shoulders, given the opportunity and responsibility that befalls unto us as carers of this land.
