Perez Zeledon Feria

Grow your own house, furniture

Reforest with fast growing CEDAR or indigenous, wild-crafted OJOCHE trees.
Exotic birds and animals are attracted to the seeds and fruits. Cedar is insect-proof and a local woodworking favorite. Ojoche produces thousands of edible seeds, an ancient Mayan staple food made into a delicious, superfood flour rich in many essential nutrients. Grows to 150', ideal for permaculture upper canopy, fruits in as little as 6 years. Approx. 1/2 meter seedlings in bolsas raised in rich, moist organic compost. Ready to plant in May. Buy now to acclimate to your farm.
COST:  - C3000 for Ojoche, C1500 for Cedar
Limited quantity. Order by email, pay when I deliver at the San Isidro farmers market on Thursdays, 
or we make other arrangements.

Diatamaceous Earth - A safe and effective treatment for parasites, viruses, fungi, and more! 
Now available at Colibris Corner at the San Isidro Feria. 
  • The sharp points found on fossilized diatom exoskeletons create a safe and non-toxic strong abrasive that scrubs intestinal walls and cuts up any parasites present in the digestive tract. Additionally, as it passes the digestive tract, it attracts and absorbs pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. It also absorbs and removes pesticides, heavy metals, and drug residues.
  • Diatomaceous earth also has many health benefits due to its mineral content, which consists of about 85% amorphous silica and approximately 20 trace minerals. The silica in diatomaceous earth is effective in preventing premature aging. Silica can also make age spots fade and also helps to repair and maintain lung tissue elasticity.
  • Regular intake of diatomaceous earth also has numerous other health benefits, some of which include:
  • *Lowering blood pressure and bad cholesterol.
  • *Relieving sore joints.
  • *Healthier skin and hair.
  • *Healthier teeth and gums.
  • *Harder nails.
  • Diatomaceous earth does not have an unpleasant taste. Simply mix 1 to 2 tablespoons daily in liquid or food.
  • Diatomaceous earth benefits pets and other animals similarly to the way it does humans, and it can have other benefits as well. For example, rubbing diatomaceous earth on their coats will ward off fleas and ticks and given internally, it is an excellent de-wormer.
  • When giving pets diatomaceous earth orally, just mix it in their food. Kittens should receive 1/4 of a teaspoon while large cats should be given1 teaspoon.
  • The dosage for dogs is as follows:
  • *Very small dogs should receive 1/2 teaspoon.
  • *Dogs under 50 pounds - 1 teaspoon.
  • *Dogs 50 to 100 pounds - 1 tablespoon.
  • *Dogs more than 100 pounds - 1 to 2 tablespoons.
  • Diatomaceous earth can also be added to kitty litter and pet carriers to reduce odors
  • Gardeners can find that diatomaceous earth is a dream come true. The sharp points scratch the exoskeleton of insects causing them to dry out and die and the powder also absorbs fats (lipids) from the hard exoskeletons of the insects, drying them even further. It makes an excellent pesticide, effectively controlling aphids, thrips, mites, snails, and slugs without harming worms or beneficial soil microorganisms.

  • Longevity and Spiritual Awakening with Reishi Mushrooms! The Chinese have traditionally claimed that Reishi promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, inner awareness and inner strength. They have used it to improve meditative practices and to protect the body, mind and spirit so that the adept could attain both a long and healthy life.
    Deep in antiquity, Reishi was routinely used by mountain hermits, monks, Taoist adepts and spiritual seekers throughout Asia because it was believed to help calm the mind, ease tension, strengthen the nerves, strengthen memory, sharpen concentration, improve focus, build will power and, as a result, help build wisdom. That is why it was called the "Mushroom of Spiritual Potency" by these seekers.
