An Off The Grid, Zero Waste, Profitable Permaculture Farm...

Atitlan Organics is located in the small Mayan village of Tzununa, which is located on the north shore of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Founded in 2010, they have focused on building and maintaining a fully-functioning, profitable, organic, permaculture farm.

Today, their farm is host to an enormous amount of diversity, including dairy goats, pigs, chickens, vegetables, coffee, bees, and well over 200 useful plant species. Check out this off the grid, zero waste, profitable, permaculture farm in the video below.

You’ll learn about growing food, food forests, rainwater harvesting, composting, raising chickens, solar panels, natural building, humanure and more about permaculture, living off the grid, and zero waste! Atitlan Organics is an inspirational example of the many things that we can do to work with the earth rather than against it.
