.About Our Project
Project Bona Fide is a non-profit organization working toward sustaining culture through organic agriculture, community outreach, and reforestation projects in rural southwest Nicaragua. Our 43-acre pilot farm is located on Isla Ometepe, and centers our efforts to support and enable the local farming communities so that they may gain self-empowerment and economic stability.
Outreach efforts include social programs that provide educational opportunities based in ecological agriculture, community reforestation efforts that are supported by our seed bank and nursery, local seed and plant exchanges, a children's nutritional kitchen and an upcoming community center.

The farm's infrastructural systems contain: natural buildings built with local materials, terraced and medicinal plant gardens, an extensive nursery, seed bank, developing fruit and nut orchards, food forests, native timber forestry, timber bamboo plantings, water-catchment, drip irrigation and ferrocement technologies, renewable energy systems, and composting toilets.
The developing site, interwoven with the support we've received from our local community, allows Bona Fide to be fertile ground for cultural exchange on the island and beyond.
