What started as a garden in a degraded cattle pasture has, over the past eleven years, grown into our own Garden of Eden. Panama has not only become home—it has become the fertile ground where our dreams continue to take root and flourish.

Edward sees this project as a partnership with future residents, where their input will continue shaping the village over time. His commitment runs even deeper: he and his team plan to live and farm alongside those who choose to call this community home.

Some journeys unfold over decades, shaped by chance encounters, deep passions, and the pull of a place that feels like home long before you live there. For James and Elisa Klein, Panama was such a place.

Stephane produces prosciutto and other cured meats that carry the essence of the farm’s land and animals in every slice. For him, each ham and salami is more than a product—it’s a continuation of a tradition, adapted to Panama’s rich terroir.

Picture stepping out your front door into a living pantry. Papayas and mangos hang heavy on branches. Bananas grow in golden clusters. Beneath them, bushes are dotted with passionfruit, guava, and coffee cherries ready to be picked. At Lega Vera, this vision is not a dream but a design.

Much like a hotel concierge who helps you discover a city, the Farm Concierge orients you to your land. But instead of booking restaurants or giving directions, they help you plant an orchard, repair a fence, or check on the chickens while you’re away.
