Since day one, food production has been one of the main goals of the farm, to provide a source of delicious and nutritious food for our visitors.

Frutos del guacabo is a culinary agro-hub farm founded by myself and my wife in 2010 on the northern side of Puerto Rico. Initially, our main purpose was to harvest food and generate another income for our family. But very soon it became clear that we could use this project to have a positive impact on our communities by transitioning into other sectors, including food distribution, value-added products, agrotourism, workshops, and even hospitality.
