Organic Produce, Invite Only, Guiones Tuesday Market

Nekawa is a 300-acre organic farm and growing wellness center in the mountains of Zaragoza, Costa Rica. Every Tuesday we bring the harvest down to Playa Guiones — pasture-raised beef (coming soon), glass-bottled spring water, and our fresh weekly harvest.

Our Land

Nekawa, Organic Farm, Sanctuary for Self Discovery.

Nekawa is a 300-acre organic farm and growing wellness center in the mountains of Zaragoza, Costa Rica. On an 80-acre parcel within it, our cattle roam free — grazing on pesticide-free grass and drinking from streams fed by springs on the property. Alongside them: greenhouses full of herbs and vegetables, shade beds of turmeric and ginger, and the springs themselves — bottled at source in glass.

No pesticides. No herbicides. No commercial feed. No antibiotics or hormones. Just grass, sunshine, mountain water, and time. What comes off the land grows slower, tastes deeper, and feels closer to the way humans actually used to eat.

This is small on purpose. We serve a private list of neighbors and friends. If you're reading this, you're on the list.

100% Pasture

Wild native grasses only. No grain finishing, no silage, no shortcuts.

Zero Chemicals

No pesticides on the land — ever. No hormones, antibiotics, or synthetic fertilizer.

Bottled at Source

Spring water in reusable glass. Bring the empties back for a deposit refund.

Cash & Carry

You order online. You pay cash at pickup. No middlemen, no markup.

This Week

Three lines. One truck. One market.

Everything below is what's leaving the farm this week. Add whatever you like to a single cart — pay cash for all of it at the Tuesday market in Playa Guiones.

This Week's Harvest

Organic Farm Harvest, priced by the kilo.

This list changes every week based on what's ready. Pick your quantities in ¼ or ½ kg steps — we harvest to order the morning of market so nothing sits.

Weights are approximate — we'll round to the nearest bundle at pickup and adjust the cash total accordingly. If we run short on any item, we'll email you before Tuesday.

Nekawa Springs

Water, bottled where it comes out of the ground.

A cold spring rises on the Nekawa property, feeding the same streams the cattle drink from. We filter it, glass-bottle it on-site, and bring it to market in reusable crates. Return the empties at your next pickup and we refund the deposit in cash.

A ₡500 refundable deposit per bottle is added at checkout — return the empties and we refund it in full. Cases include a wooden crate with an additional deposit.

Apothecary

Small-batch remedies from the garden.

Herbs and flowers we grow, dry, and jar on the farm — blended in the kitchen at Nekawa. Starting with a single Garden Tea Blend, growing from there.

Each jar is filled the week of market. Steep 1 tsp in 8 oz of just-off-boil water for 5 minutes — the butterfly pea turns the tea deep indigo, and a squeeze of lime turns it magenta.

Butcher

Four ways to fill your freezer.

Each box is built from one specific cow we butcher that month. Sizes are designed to feed a family of four for roughly four weeks of beef-forward meals.

Prices are suggested community contributions in Costa Rican colones (CRC) — a fair-market grass-fed rate with a 10–20% friends-of-the-ranch discount built in. Pay cash at pickup.

A Day at Nekawa

A private farm day, guided by the founder.

A slow, invite-only day on the land — the waterfall trail, the greenhouses and permaculture beds, and a long candle-lit table under the stars at the edge of the pasture, with an ocean view over the ridge.

Private Waterfall Hike

A guided hike down to the waterfall with a deep swimming hole, bring your bathing suit. Roughly 30 minutes each way.

Permaculture & Greenhouse Tour

Walk the greenhouses, shade beds, and permaculture terraces. Harvest a few things by hand for the table that night — herbs, greens, whatever is ripe.

Candle-Lit Dinner in the Field

A custom multi-course dinner served on our long wood table in the grass field, candles down the length of it, ocean view over the ridge. Cooked around what came out of the garden that afternoon, or what has been especially requested.

₡50,000 per person

Included: hike, tour, and dinner — all guided personally by Morgan, the founder.

Group size: minimum 2, maximum 12. Reserved for one party at a time — you'll have the farm to yourselves.

Timing: arrive around 3pm, dinner runs late. Overnight stays can be arranged separately.

2 guests

Pay cash on arrival at the farm. You'll get a confirmation email with directions and what to bring.

Common Questions

Before you reserve.

How often will you butcher?

We're on a roughly monthly cadence — one cow at a time, whenever the herd is ready. Water and produce come to market every Tuesday regardless.

What if a produce item sells out?

Each item shows how many kilos we have available this week. Once it's gone, the button disables. If we're short at harvest, we'll email you before Tuesday.

How does the bottle deposit work?

Every glass bottle carries a ₡500 refundable deposit. Cases add a small crate deposit as well. Bring the empties (clean, no labels needed) to your next Tuesday pickup and we hand you the deposit back in cash.

Do you deliver?

No — pickup only, Tuesday at the Playa Guiones farmers market. If you can't make it, reply to your confirmation email and we'll usually work out a delegate pickup.

Is the produce actually organic?

Yes — grown without pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilizer on the same land the cattle graze. We don't hold a formal certification (small-batch, direct-to-neighbor), but you're welcome to visit the farm.
