Rancho Margot is a self-sufficient ranch and lodge. They get all of their energy from a nearby river. Instead of discarding animal waste and food waste, they turn this into compost to put into their gardens. They also have a permaculture, protecting the diversity and health of plants such as cocoa and bananas. They tailor their vegetation to be suitable for the rainforest climate they are situated in. Additionally, they use no hormones in any of their animals and have “living roofs” above their pens. All of the soap is made on the property, from vegetable oil that is discarded after cooking.
