Kunahmul Organics

Kunahmul Organics Located in Boston Village, Belize, we aim to bring tasty 100% organic vegetables to your plate! Try the 30+ varieties we are growing on our small 2 acre.

Our family has lived on this farm for over 2 generations. “Kunahmul”, meaning “Love Nest” in Mayan, is the name George Price gave our farm years ago, and exactly how we feel about it too. Our shared dream of growing organic vegetables and bringing variety to Belize was born out of a love for each other and a love for this land. Why Grow Organically? Here at KO Farms, we believe in simplicity, in variety and in observing how nature does things. We grow all our produce from non-GMO seeds without added chemicals (Serious! no fertilizers or pesticides!) because why change what nature made just right? Organic vegetables are known to contain higher levels of vitamins and nutrients than conventionally grown vegetables (see studies below). They also taste brighter, sweeter and more robust with flavour because of the natural elements that build their terroir. Taste the difference with our produce! See how adding variety and colour to your diet improves your health! What are these strange looking vegetables? Why heirloom? Much like our philosophy on growing, we consider heirloom vegetable varieties (yes, the original guys!) to be important in saving the regional ecosystem and in keeping history alive. Many of the heirloom or indigenous varieties we have chosen to grow originate in the Yucatan. This means they were meant to grow here and they love it here! Not only does this help us with pest and disease control, as they are naturally acclimatized, but it also means the people of this great land sustained themselves on these beautiful plants once too! Eat Belize, BE Belize! How will we remember what our ancestors ate if we no longer grow the wild tomatoes they domesticated (which after many iterations became the tomato as we know it now)? How can we celebrate our culture without growing the plants of our regional cuisine? You heard us right! Calaloo, Culantro here we come! # # #

Some might say not to share the harvest (why not spray?), some might say it could be more efficient (why not mechanize?), some might say it’s stupid to grow “with nature” when the environment here in Belize can feel so unforgiving (why not import instead?), but even with legs black with mosquitoes, there are lessons to be learned from growing food here.

We choose the lens we look through in this life, and more often than not, we have been taught we are the only characters in this story.

What happens when we listen to the whispers of the living around us- when we begin to see we are not the only ones here? What happens when we see every interaction as a dance with the universe- a chance to take care of our ever giving Mother Earth?

Life is as simple as growing cucumbers. You can simply pick and move on, but why not take a breath, smile and enjoy the miracle. ✨🌱

Sometimes you don’t want a protein shake, sometimes you want something salty & savoury.

✨💚Here’s what l make:
- 1 can of sardines
- 1 diced tomato
- diced onion (to taste)
- fresh organic basil diced
- handful of fresh organic okra diced
- fresh organic greens diced (used our arugula and lettuce)
- juice of 1 lime or 1/2 lemon
- olive oil (to taste)
- green olives sliced
- freshly cracked pepper (to taste)
- *optional* fresh hot pepper (I used our organic cayenne)

Mix it all up and eat it as is or on your fave bread or tortilla chips. I ate it as is 💁🏻‍♀️ not pictured is my little bag of sour cream and onion chips cause balance 🤡

The most underrated snack… Okra ✨🌿 * no one is impressed* but seriously, instead of deep frying or stewing down (all super delicious btw), have you tried it raw? It’s actually less slimey and has a faint floral aspect to it.

In this summer heat, I find myself craving it raw for the crunch- and of course, I just learned that okra is considered “cooling” in Chinese traditional medicine. Our bodies have a way of telling us just what we need ✨🌞 are you listening?

It has been nearly a month of us slowing down.✨

Our family was at capacity. Between Johnathan working as the Executive Director of the Silk Grass Nature Reserve, our daily commute from Silk Grass to Placencia (for our daughter’s schooling) and back to Boston Village (3 hours north) to pick and package on the weekends, we realized we were working against nature. Something had to change.

We came back to Belize to bless our daughter with all this beautiful land has to offer, a slower life, a stronger connection to nature and to Spirit, to community. In pursuit of our Kuna dream, we sacrificed all the values that Kuna stands for. We never spent time with our daughter.

For these reasons and more, we will be pausing deliveries to focus on the next steps, on farm R&D and on building our Maya Beach outlet in the next year. We will still use this space to share recipes and farm happenings, so please keep following along! 🌱Hoping this year passes sooner than we expect!

Until then, sending love, peace and good energy! ✨💚🌿

My grandma called me a hot pepper the day I was born, so it’s no surprise we have a love of hot peppa in our family. Also, did you know many peppers originate in the region?!

Here are a few ideas of what you can do with our Hot Peppa Pack ❤️‍🔥🌶️✨

Recipe for our Obel Chili Oil Snapper on top of Heirloom Chinese String Beans to come soon ✌️ Placencia, DM us for the list for delivery next week!

🌞Sometimes you need to step back and remember your “Why”. ✨

For us, of course it was always to bring diverse, delicious, heirloom, organic vegetables to Belize, but more than that, it was to live a more intentional life- one that wasn’t predicated by numbers, timeframes and efficiency for effiency sake. A life where we could be in relationship with Mother Nature, where we could witness our daughter picking her own food and learning to steward this great land.
🌿
For all these reasons and more, we will now be delivering every two weeks to Placencia.
✨✌️💚🌱Genovese, Thai Sweet and Lemon Basil coming soon!

Thankful that we got to slow down today and enjoy a real farm-to-table meal (every single veg on our plate grown on our land!!). ✨🍅✨🫛

Thankful for all those who mother, all those who hold the fort down, who nourish the nest, who remind us we are loved. Thankful for Pachamama, the great Mother who gives to us in sometimes mysterious ways! Happy Mother’s Day ya’ll 💁🏻‍♀️🩷
