Our Aloe Vera Farm
Rooted in Costa Rica’s Volcanic Soils
In the heart of Costa Rica, our 350-hectare aloe farm thrives in volcanic soils, sustained by mountain rivers flowing from a blue zone and nourished by an 8-hectare forest at its center. This forest isn’t just preserved, it’s the source of the beneficial microbes and fungi we cultivate in our bio-lab to keep every plant healthy without pesticides. Around it, fields are laboriously hand-fertilized so that nothing artificial ever touches the forest’s edge.
Farming in Balance with Nature
Every detail is guided by nature. Fields are rested for a full year to restore soil and reduce disease. Byproducts from the harvest return to the earth as fertilizer, water is cleaned and recycled for irrigation, and rice husks generate the power that runs the farm. Even our ethanol, made from sugarcane and used only to separate water, is recovered at 98%. Nothing goes to waste.
Cultivation & Harvest Excellence
Our aloe process begins long before it enters the fields. Using tissue-culture propagation in controlled greenhouses, we ensure every plant is uniform, healthy, and naturally rich in bioactive properties. Once in the open fields, plants are hand-tended with beneficial microorganisms instead of pesticides, nurtured until they reach full maturity. Hand harvesting and strict inspection standards ensure only the best leaves are chosen for processing.
A Patient Cultivation Process
Aloe cultivation here is a slow, patient process. Mother plants spend two years maturing before producing pups, and those pups take more than a year to yield their first leaves. Each leaf must be used within 6–8 hours of cutting to preserve its science-supported fragile polysaccharides. Everything is hand-planted, hand-harvested, and hand-processed.
The Numbers Behind the Work
Behind the scenes, the numbers tell their own story. It takes 667 kilograms of fresh aloe leaves to create just 1 kilogram of finished product. Each plant produces about 6 kilograms of leaf per year. With patience, our mother farm cultivates hundreds of thousands of new plants annually, ensuring steady regeneration. All of it is sustained by pristine mountain waters: over 150 miles of river tested clean at the point of return, proving that what leaves our farm is as pure as what enters it.
From Farm to Facility
Just minutes from the fields, our production facility completes the farm-to-capsule journey. Here, fresh leaves are washed, processed, and stabilized at peak potency, protecting their beneficial compounds. Located near one of the world’s Blue Zones, our farm benefits from volcanic soils, pristine river water, and abundant natural sunlight, conditions that give our product exceptional purity and strength. By keeping cultivation and processing fully integrated, we preserve quality from seedling to finished aloe vera product.
A Community Sustained by Aloe
This is more than a farm, it’s a community. We provide stable, year-round jobs for over 100 people, with 60% of them being female-headed households. Every harvest reflects the same commitment: purity, potency, sustainability, and respect for nature’s timeline. Here, aloe vera isn’t just grown, it’s nurtured.
