After 8 years of enjoying numerous adventures and a “pura vida lifestyle” on our small farm near Rincon de la Vieja National Park in tropical Costa Rica, we sadly have to sell our “piece of paradise” due to health reasons.
 
Looking for an alternative to the beach? Looking for privacy and a chance to experience the real Costa Rica? Looking for an abundant supply of fresh cool water from a natural mountain spring?  Here is a great property for someone looking to get away from it all and live in the beautiful mountains of Costa Rica. With a fresh cool climate year round, this finca is just 25 kilometers (15 miles) on all-weather roads from Liberia and only 15 kilometers (9 miles) on paved roads from the quaint mountain town of Guayabo. No need for A/C and no need for heat. Humidity levels are much lower than can be found around the Lake Arenal area. Grow your own vegetables and fruits; catch tilapia from your own pond; enjoy your own farm fresh eggs; get fresh milk and beef/pork from your friendly Costa Rican neighbors.

This finca is perfect for the adventurous pioneering spirit in many of us. Those adventurous types who love the outdoors and love all those activities – horses, mountain bikes, hiking, self-sustaining farming - will love this farm.

In English, “huevos de amor” means “eggs of love” and here in Costa Rica it is a term sometimes used to describe eggs produced in a free-range environment.   Our goal here at Huevos de Amor San Jorge  is to provide you with farm fresh free-range eggs that we actually do produce with love – from our farm to your breakfast table.

If you have purchased eggs from a retailer recently, then you know that the most expensive eggs for sale are the ones known as “free-range”.  Why should these eggs have a higher value than the average commercial eggs?  Part of the reason for this higher value is because these eggs cost more money to produce; however, they are better, healthier eggs all the way around.  They have a higher nutritional value and the hens themselves are healthier than the caged birds kept under artificial light and fed a steady commercial diet.  True free-range chickens are those that range outdoors on pasture.  Meaning they do what all chickens do naturally: eat bugs, greens, and whatever leftovers they can scrounge or scratch up.  The challenge for the homesteader, however, comes in the form of keeping and managing a flock of free-range chickens in order to reap the benefit of their eggs.  Check out our About Our Operation Page for more information on how our free-range chicken farm operates.

The nutritional value of free-range eggs makes this challenge a worthwhile endeavor for the homesteader wanting to produce higher quality eggs for a healthier diet.  Recently, Mother Earth News did an egg study comparing free-range eggs to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for commercial eggs.  The findings showed that free-range chicken eggs produced the following results:

      • 1/3 less cholesterol
          • 1/4 less saturated fat
          • 2/3 more vitamin A
          • 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
          • 3 times more vitamin E
          • 7 times more beta-carotene




Besides the obvious nutritional benefits, free-range eggs simply taste better!  The most likely cause of the differences between free-range eggs and those from caged, commercial-production hens is the diet the hens consume every day.  Basically, you are what you eat.  After all, the free-range chicken’s diet is all natural and varied, while the caged hen eats only what is placed in front of her.  Free-range hens are also usually healthier than their cousins kept in crowded cages in commercial poultry houses.  The feeds given to commercial hens are the cheapest possible mixture of corn, soy, and/or cottonseed meals, with many types of additives mixed in.  These additives often include growth hormones, meat and bone meals, as well as antibiotics and chemicals, like arsenic, to keep the chickens awake longer and producing more.  The commercial chicken has a much shorter lifespan due to stress, illness and general disease than does a free-range hen.  (excerpts taken from www.Homestead.org.)

Please check out our Links Page for links to more in-depth articles on the benefits of eating free-range eggs over commercially produced eggs. 

We hope after visiting our website that you will agree that free-range eggs are a better choice for a healthier diet.

We look forward to doing business with you and invite you to visit our operation and our relatively unknown area near the mountains of Guanacaste.
Eggs-citedly yours,
