Retire in Ecuador on an Organic Farm
Jul 16th, 2009 by Gary
Merri and I have been looking for ways that subscribers can retire in Ecuador so we visited the farm with our real estate tour director Alberto Verdezoto and Peggy Carper who is living in Cotacachi and who helps subscribers find rentals and real estate.
I happily snapped away all these photos at this potential Ecuador retirement farm.
Delegates on our last tour visited and I have heard that an offer was made.
I have not heard that a sale was confirmed so if you are thinking about retirement in Ecuador and this is of interest subscribe to Ecuador Living here.

This looks like the perfect little Ecuador retirement operation, so where should we start?
I think it is with the guinea pigs…
The farm has many of them in these cages.
Clover on the farm feeds them. Their manure helps organically fertilize the corn.
The corn husks are mixed with manure to be used as fertilizer and the corn feeds the…
pigeons…
chickens and…
pigs.
All of these animals create more organic fertilizer that this farmer uses to grow tomatoes.
Here is the Ecuador organic farmer with our driver Jorge, Alberto Verdezoto and Peggy Carper.
Tomatoes grow quickly here it seems. These newly planted organic tomatoes will be ready in three weeks. I find this hard to believe but this is what the farmer said. Though my Spanish has been known to miss on occasion.
These will look like…
this and…
provide
income that…
would provide a nice retirement income… $25,000 a year we are told.
Other benefits include farm fresh eggs.
Trout are in the ponds next to the pigeon coops.
Big trout!
There are organic garden vegetables grown also.
Onions, garlic and peppers are part of the crop plus…
citrus.
and organic roses.
The house is rustic inside downstairs, but…
the building seems solid and a huge empty room upstairs and…
a great view.
We have price and brokerage details that we have sent to our Ecuador Living at Ecuador Organic Tomato Farm.
The farmer recently sold a house in the center of Cotacachi for much less than his asking price. He is building five condos and is using the proceeds of his sales to build.
This Ecuador organic tomato farm is ideal for someone who wants to retire in Ecuador on a small organic operation that provides a modest income and natural lifestyle.
