History
A family owned venture with origins in 1951 when with 44 Quakers to establish the Monteverde Community as a pioneering effort to build a peaceful, simple lifestyle. Joe Stuckey first visits his aunt who was an original settler in Monteverde, traveling to Costa Rica overland in 1957. This trip changed the Stuckey Family forever, with Joe returning many times to Costa Rica, eventually settling in Monteverde with his wife Jean in the 1970’s.
Establishing a dairy farm in 1980 when Joe & Jean Stuckey move permanently to Monteverde with their family. With the economic base of the community being cheese, the farm specialized commercial, conventional, diary farm, selling milk to the Monteverde Cheese Factory.
The journey to Regenerative Agriculture begins in 2018 when Joe and Jean’s daughter Sarah takes over the active management of the farm. Concerned about greenhouse gas emissions Sarah eliminates all chemical fertiliser on the farm in 2018, instead focusing on soil health and regeneration of the ecosystem.
In 2025 the farm becomes Sapurí Regenerative Farm & Forest, a family owned regenerative farm that is dedicated to healing the land through Regenerative Agriculture.
Our goals are to achieve resilience to the effects climate change by restoring our soils, enhancing biodiversity. What was once only a diary farm now produces sustainably raised milk, organic coffee, organic gardens and fruit. It incorporates other animals such as tilapia, rabbits, hogs, bees and chickens in a closed loop production cycles.
