Mexico

2021-05-04T12:20:46.000Z

I've decided to move to Mexico from the UK. I intend to live off-grid growing fruit in the middle of nowhere. Where's the best part of Mexico to move to, please? The south seems the obvious part due to the greener environment. How much is land - can I get suitable land for hardly any money? What do I need to know? Thanks.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

2014-04-20T17:11:10.000Z

Hi fruit peeps,I'm going to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in about a week and was hoping to connect with some people who either live in the area, has been there, or who will also be there! Let me know if anyone has any tips or tricks for vegan and raw food eating as well as some outdoor fun! Thanks!

Mayans of the Campeche Region of Mexico have just won a two-year legal battle to get rid of Monsanto and their GMO soybeans (suicide beans)!

2014-03-22T17:23:47.000Z

Following the ban of GM maize in Mexico, this ancient and agriculturally savvy culture has won a major battle against biotech monopolies around the globe.

The Second District Court ruled in favor of three Mayan communities from the Hopelchén township who dared to take on the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock , Rural Development, Fisheries and Food ( Sagarpa) and the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources ( SEMARNAT).

This means that Saragapa now must make a concerted effort to be sure that no GM soybeans are planted throughout Pachen and Cancabchen communities in Hopelchén. Just two years ago, the same agency allowed Monsanto’s RoundUp Ready GMO soybeans to be planted in the region – infecting more than 253,000 hectares with suicide seeds that cause human infertility and poison the environment.

Seven states were under Monsanto’s reign – free then to plant their GM seeds wherever they liked within those borders, including the municipalities of: Campeche, Hopelchén , Tenabo , Calkiní , Escárcega, Carmen and Palisade.

In just a few of these places, the authorities were angry that the government had given Monsanto authorization, and they decided to fight the ruling. Campeche beekeepers were especially upset since this would affect bee-keeping negatively in the region. They called Monsanto’s influence, ‘pollution of production,’ resulting in loss of income and closing of markets for many bee keepers with international contracts.

After two years of litigation, and arguing that the planting of GM soybeans was in direct opposition of traditional beekeeping practices, AND that it was in violation of their right to a healthy environment – pointing out that increased use of herbicides and deforestation were both outcomes of GM planting – the Mayans won their case. These small indigenous communities have taken on the multi-billion-dollar biotech and Big Ag companies and won. They are an example to us all.

Is there a nice Farm for Chia Seeds in Mexico?

2014-02-17T09:27:28.000Z

I am currently in Mexico and wanted to ask if you guys know any farm there? Chia or something special would be cool.

Thank you for any advice!

Winter getaway in Mexico

2013-07-21T17:22:36.000Z

Hi all!

We are a young LFRV family of 3 that would like to invite other families to share the fun and costs of winter getaway in MX starting from Valladolid in the period from November to March.

The plan

Our plan is to find a good quality accommodation in Valladolid, MX (and later possibly explore other cities and places around) and to share the rent, share rides to the farmers market, possibly share activities and traveling to neighboring places etc. The difference in renting small apartment and large house is not very high, so it makes more sense to share it with others and enjoy higher quality more spacious accommodation. The approximate price for 3 BR house is approx $500/month which means around $170/month per family.

About us

We are a family of three (including our 1yr old son that will be 15 month old in November) that originates from Russia, currently lives in Canada (we are running away from Sask winter :) ). We are very active in sports and would like to enjoy LFRV lifestyle along with other families, ideally with children but not required:) Although respect to children is a must - we are all about peaceful parenting.

If you are:

- vegan or raw vegan family

- non-smoking

- non-drinking

that is interested and willing to get more details, you can message us here!

Come Join us on The Mexico Winter Escape Trip!

2012-11-24T11:27:23.000Z

We'll be leaving in about a week, starting in Vancouver and driving all the way down to Mexico for the adventure of a lifetime. We'll be living in the sun, eating the best quality fruit, enjoying the company of other fruit eaters, adventuring in jungles, relaxing on beaches, drinking coconuts, living life to the fullest. Winter is not meant to be spent up north. Yes, it takes a lot of determination and dedication to be raw vegan in a Northern climate, but it is harmful to your body no matter how hard you try to eat more fruit, run around in the snow, etc. Sunlight and fresh air are as important as any other needs of the body.

This is the perfect opportunity the truly nourish your body, mind and soul. We have room for a few more people to come along. Meet us anywhere along the way and stay as long as you'd like. Let your adventurous spirit be free, no more excuses!

Ensenada, Mexico

2012-06-15T20:02:29.000Z

My friend and I are going to Ensenada in Baja tomorrow and will be staying for a week. I figured the place would be overloaded with fruit but now can't find anything to support that online. Sun and cheap, ripe fruit are the reasons for this short trip - did I just make a total mistake on where to go?

If anybody's ever been, please let me know how it is there! I'd hate to abandon my fruit here for a town filled with fish tacos that I was never into when I WOULD have eaten them, jaja. Thanks, guys! -Kirra

What is Mexico like for fruit?!

2012-06-10T23:02:04.000Z

I live in England and the fruit here isn't great (quality wise and price), but I'm managing. :)
In December I have to go to Mexico for two weeks to do fieldwork, and I'm so scared about what I can eat when I'm there!
I'm not sure where abouts we are going as of yet, but does anyone have a general idea of the fruit situation out there? And can I bring fruit on the plane? I'm worried I will have to eat a fair bit of cooked food while I'm there just to get through it. :( Plus I will be living with 30 other students, a handful of which are vegetarian and one other is vegan (but not raw)! So it will be difficult being the only one not sitting down to meals with them. I would avoid this trip if I could, but I HAVE to go or I'll fail my degree. :/
Any information would be fantastic, thank you!

Oooo, also, it's recommended that we have numerous vaccinations/jabs before going there; what do you guys think about this? I NEVER take drugs of any kind, the last time I had antibiotics was when I was a little girl, very ill with an unknown illness. The last vaccination (or whatever you'd call it) was the Cervical cancer jab (we had it in college in the U.K) about four years ago.
As I will be doing fieldwork, things such as tetanus are an issue.

Fruity travels

2012-04-16T01:49:33.000Z

My friend (with whom I traveled to Thailand this past summer) and I were planning on a trip to Hawaii this summer to lie on the beach and eat fruit during his week off between summer sessions at UCSD. Yes, we live in San Diego. Yes, SD is already a paradise. Yes, I realize we're spoiled weather-wise. But the idea of getting away appeals to us. I'm sure many of you understand. ;-P

Unfortunately, we didn't buy our tickets soon enough, so now a weeklong trip to the beach would run us over $800 each + cost of stay. Paying that price would not be very conducive to our relaxation, jaja.

Anyway, short story very long, we're now considering a Mexican vacation. My cousin's friend has a home in San Felipe (in Baja) in which we could stay, but I was curious if anybody else here has been to San Felipe or near there and could report on the fruit front. Because whenever I go to Tijuana, the fruit is fantastic, and that's only 20-30 miles from me. I can only imagine what it's like 200 miles deeper south on a coastal town!

SO! If anybody can help me out or offer me alternative places, that would be HAWESOME!!! We're also considering Ensenada but that wouldn't come with a free home. X-P Jajajaja!

Thanks a lot, fellow fruities!!!

Jack Fruit aka Horny Fruit in Mexico

2011-08-10T04:24:25.000Z

It is said in Mexico that Jack Fruit is a very strong aphrodisiac. People saw me eating a whole one today and said I would have a very hard time sleeping alone. Another Person said that I would have to go on the prowl near the beach. LMAO I told them I would just go for a run. :}

Off the map

2009-08-30T00:43:27.000Z

Today I have seen one of the most charming movies of my time: Off the Map.Has anyone else seen it? It is idyllic, and poetic and sad, and beautiful. Brought forward one of the deepest yearnings I had all through my life...living off the map.The family had 4 years worth of food in preserves...I guess New Mexico is too dry for fruit trees. But perhaps with some smart water management it could be one of the best off the map places. .... just dreaming....and sharing. G'night you all.
