Dear friends and future neighbors,
We’re in a time of renewal. Our community in Ecuador—originally founded by people seeking a peaceful, off-grid lifestyle close to nature—is going through a process of healing and revival.
Over the years, we’ve welcomed people passionate about permaculture, natural living, healthy food, community building, and land stewardship. While the original focus was raw veganism, our values and members have evolved. What remains strong is our shared dream: to co-create a thriving, land-based, intentional community grounded in respect, transparency, and cooperation.
Like any real-life community, we’ve faced challenges—conflicts, setbacks, and growing pains. But we’re still here, and we’re choosing to rebuild.
And we’d love your help.
Here’s how you can get involved:
🌱 Buy a lot – There’s land available! Whether you want to build a home, grow a food forest, or create a retreat, this is your chance to invest in something meaningful.

🏡 Come live with us – Join us as a full-time resident, seasonal visitor, or volunteer. Whether for a month or a lifetime, your presence makes a difference.
🌻 Support the vision – Bring your energy, your ideas, your passion for healing, food sovereignty, building, or homeschooling. There’s space for your vision here.
Our infrastructure is modest, and some parts of the community are still developing, but that’s where the opportunity lies. We’re working hard to improve conditions, reestablish peace and safety, and make the community more welcoming for future members—like you.
If you’ve been dreaming of a simpler life, surrounded by nature, with land to grow on and good people to grow with—this might be your moment.
Let’s revive something beautiful together.
With hope,
The Fruit Haven Revival Team
