dear fruit eaters of the world, join me on my quest to the fruitarian communities in Ecuador!

2020-12-30T14:50:53.000Z

hello everybody,

i'm super happy and excited about the revival of this webpage, it's so important for the frugivore community worldwide.

myself, i'm 28, from Israel. been on the wagon (to varying extents) for 8 years now.

living in Israel has always challenged me, nutriotionally speaking.

getting my hands on high quality fruits felt like a constant struggle, as i was nevet able to get the amount and quality needed in order to thrive in this lifestyle consistently.

3 years ago i returned to israel from another trip to a wonderful fruit destination (far north queensland, australia), with the intention to find my way to live here harmonically and healtfuly.

3 years later, i feel like i've given up on that. it's too hard to attain it here.

so..

after couple of years of contemplating about it, i've finally booked a ticket to Ecuador.

i've been following Terra Frutis (https://www.terrafrutis.com/) and Fruit-Haven (https://www.fruithavenecovillage.com/) from long distance for couple of years now,

and finally i've made the decision to go and test the water myself.

living with like minded frugivores, growing my own food, eating fruits straight from the trees, and living happily and freely as possible is a dream for me,

and i believe that traveling to there is a huge milestone in the journey of fulfilling it.

so, please join me!

i think that an abundance of like minded ppl will allow us to live our best lives!

write me here, message me privately (here or on my FB page), or whatever.

hope to see you there!

Yotam.

Raising your kids in a raw vegan community in Costa Rica

2020-08-14T21:36:51.000Z

Hello Folks, since Corona Virus many people around the world have understood the need to move to the tropics and start growing their own food, you can say it's a survival idea. Many want to do it but the task seems way too enormous, and it is if you are on your own!! That's why i decided to spread the word about us, a forming raw vegan tribe on a beautiful land in the jungle with already growing fruit forest, and our amazing vegan neighborhood. We are called Purafruta and located on the Carribean side of Costa Rica, 15 mins drive from the beach, and 20 mins from the nearby town, Puerto Viejo, the larger community of Talamanca, populated mostly by foreigners, in total of 4 close-by surf-towns along the beach, sums up to 10,000 amazing like-minded people that benefits from constant energy/resources/skills exchange.

Our Purafruta tribe welcomes people that want to take advantage of this amazing local community, but to live in our own raw vegan eco-village, where we work together maintaining and further expanding the fruit forest on our 15 hectares land, raise our kids together using educational techniques that we all agree on and apply. We also share tools, community gardens, and much more. If you end up finding out you are more of an individualistic type, we also have a friend on our road that sells land for cheap, in the heart of a Vegan road! So together with them we make a very interesting neighborhood.

If you want to know more click here and read through our values, our structure, pictures and more... See if it's somthing for you...
Webspage - http://PuraFruta.org
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PuraFruta6

The borders just opened up so we are expecting 10 new families, so if you want to come this will be the best time ever for investing since that within the next few months the lots we have to "sell" are the cheapest and have the best locations on the land, so get ready!

Let's get ready for the coming era, things are changing fast, so please share this message around this is a crucial time, people need to know that there is an option like us, and others that we can refer too in Ecuador.

Thank you!!

-The Purafruta Tribe-

Long Distance Running and the $#it$!

2015-09-12T17:26:55.000Z

I love eating a 100% low fat raw vegan diet, but ever since I joined my college's cross country team it has become a bit of a hassle. I am taking 5 classes, work 2 jobs, and practice 6 days out of the week. This leaves me with different times to eat everyday, so I have been struggling with developing an eating schedule. I cant tell if I am eating too early or too late, but I ALWAYS have to go during my long runs (usually when there is no bathroom near by). This has been happening for about a month now so I decided to switch over to cooked low fat vegan until I can figure an eating plan out.

What are the best times to eat fruit before a run? My practices are usually around 3:30pm, so it isn't early enough where I can just save eating for afterwards. I am so frustrated I am thinking of just eating 1 massive meal afterwards....but I doubt I will be able to get in enough calories then. RUNNERS HELLLPP!

It sounds like a simple problem, but it is preventing me from running my hardest and longest. I am afraid of the problems it will cause on race days.

For some strange reason cooked foods (potatoes, rice, quinoa, millet, breads) have NOT been giving me #2 problems when I run (maybe because it digests slower?) If I can't figure out a perfect eating time for a fruitarian diet, then I'll just stick with cooked foods till the end of the season.

Easy Fruit Popsicle. Great for Summer! Great for kids!

2015-06-26T12:26:52.000Z

Looking for a perfect healthy treat for summer? How about a yummy fruit popsicle?

Recently I had to undergo a procedure that required me to fast for a day. They allow you to have broth and popsicles. Yum!

So off to the store I went in search of a whole fruit popsicle. Sounds easy, right? Nope! The majority of them have many added ingredients that I didn't want.

I decided to whip some up for myself. So easy and simple. This is one of those recipes that you can't believe you haven't made sooner!

Great for Kids!

This is also a great recipe to make with kids! Have them get involved and pick their favorite fruits. You can use coconut water, fruit juice, coconut milk yogurt or canned coconut milk if you are going for a creamy popsicle. You can throw some veggies or greens in there as well for added nutrition.

Flavor Combinations

Shown above are a couple of my favorite combinations. Pineapple/coconut & Strawberry/Nectarine.

Give them a try. Super sweet and refreshing!

Blend fruit combinations, then pour and freeze in popsicle molds.

Pineapple/Coconut - Fresh pineapple with coconut water.

Strawberry/Nectarine- Fresh strawberries and nectarines make a great combo for a popsicle or smoothie.

Tip: When ready to take popsicles out of molds, run warm water over mold first before releasing.

Blessings,

The best place for living on a raw food diet

2015-06-18T16:33:08.000Z

Hi guys!

I am a fully raw guy for many years living in Czech Republic(European Union). I work as IT specialist. In the nearest future I would like to move to the country with a warmer climate and bigger amount of fruits, because here in Prague we have a long winter and not so many tropical fruits. So now I am thinking about where to go. I have discovered this article http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/blog/?p=1917 with the TOP of best places for rawfoodists with some great places, for example USA - California, Miami, Florida, Hawai or Australia, but all these places are blocked for the foreigners and I cant see the way how to legally obtain working visa in these countries. In the Thailand there are no possibilities to work for the foreigners, but everything is cheap and this is a really fruitarian paradise. So there are so many fruitarian countries but all of them have its own limitations of living/working for foreigners. I am writing this post to find the same people like me who is searching for the new living and working opportunities in sunny countries without cold winter and lack of fruits. Could you please inspire me and show any possibilities? I will be happy for any messages from anyone. Feel free to contact me. Thank you for your attention.

With love and respect for all beings,

Dimitrij.

Brand New Fruitarian/ 80 10 10. NEED HELP!

2015-05-18T18:30:17.000Z

Hey guys i posted this somewhere else on this site but i feel this is a better place to:

Ate SAD for first 19 years of my life. I'm coming off a year of Paleo/Primal. Wasnt a very smart decision... i got severe IBS.

How do you guys get enough calories??!?!? I can eat 12-14 bananas for breakfast and be hungry 2 hours later...

i tried adding dates and now my teeth turned yellow, and hurt SOOO bad. One of my teeth actually has pieces breaking off.

i brush, floss, oil pull everything!

Also my muscle seems to be depleting. I used to be extremely cut, and imo im getting fatter, not gaining weight though. Just less muscle. abs less defined, look less vascular. I notice my hair is also falling our more frequently than normal.

I really want to do this diet! for ETHICAL, satisfaction(not have to binge on unhealthy foods), and performance reasons! What am i doing wrong here? Everyone on this forum seems to have vibrant health, while mine is deteriorating. I want to be apart of this community but not at the expense of my health. If an experienced veteran could step in and give me some guidance i'd appreciate it.

Fruity WWOOFing in Florida?

2015-02-15T17:17:06.000Z

I'm officially looking for fruity paradise!!!! So excited! Not quite as easy as I thought though.

I was hoping it would be really easy to find a place with a huge abundance of fruit. On the WWOOF website, I found only one place in South Florida that seems easy to get integrated with and has a decent level of variety of fruit trees.

Does anybody know of any places I might want to check out? I might settle permanently in the area, so entry-level jobs at cool places would be nice too. Any advice at all would be appreciated. Thanks a lot guys!

Thailand - tips\wwoof\hclf\travel partners?!

2014-11-17T18:16:36.000Z

hey fruities :)

ill be getting to bkk in 1 week and i have absolutely no plans.

I was hoping to get some general tips on what to eat, and how, I mean, im used to buying in huge boxes but i obviously won't be able to do so while traveling... so how do you get by fruitwise? also, i'd love to hear about some vegan restaurants that serve high carb vegan food or vegan dishes that don't have oil in them.

did anyone here get a chance to wwoof in thailand? i was thinking something with a lot of fruits, maybe picking fruits in an organic farm and building mud houses, and also an elephant sanctuary. I realize that all the wwoof in thailand costs money as well, is that true?

lastly, I'm looking for travel partners or just some fruitbats who'd like to meet up and hang out a bit. feel free to hit me up at Henyamania @gmail.com or on fb Henya Von Perezz.

Going Raw is Worth it

2014-11-15T14:26:40.000Z

This is just my 3rd day raw, but I already feel much better.

I love the results I'm seeing and feeling.

I was adding probably too much salt to my cooked foods, not large amounts (yuck)

But enough to retain quite a bit of the 2 gallons of water I drink every day (is that weird?).

Don't ask why I drink that much water, it's just what my body wants.

I would wake up feeling and appearing puffy (Ewwww)

Anyways, I do believe investing in your HEALTH is much better than investing in anything else.

I personally don't mind spending more money just for one more meal of raw food every evening. It's worth it to me.

Anyone else transition from Rt4 to Fully Raw and have a great testimonial? I'd Love to hear it!

Off for my morning run;)

Happy Saturday Folks

-Elsa

Hello friends!

winter gathering for the creation of a fruitarian community in Costa-Rica!

2014-08-09T00:38:26.000Z

Hello dear fruit heads of the world!

Gathering for the creation of the fruitarian community in Costa-Rica!!

Its with pleasure that I invite all the fruit heads of the world to come and either witness or be part of this wonderful event that will occur this winter, from December first to end of... April!! Or come for however long you want! If your looking for a nice place to spend the winter, surrounded with tropical fruits and fruitarians from all over the world keep reading! Or you can take a look at the progress we've made so far, like gathering all the information you need to know about Costa-Rica, or the people already on board, or the possible land we are interested in... And more, all on our website http://www.fruitariancommunity.tk

Now here's the index of everything you need to know about the gathering... With my phone number at the end for more information...

Housing
Cost per month and available food
Activities
What to bring
Topics of circles

HOUSING

I hope to have at least 20 people present for the event. We'll try to fit everyone on the same property. So bring you tent! We will share a kitchen, which will be a good opportunity to learn about sharing a kitchen among fruitarians... Or good opportunity to show how we behave in communal spaces, after all, one of the main objective of this gathering will be to see each other in many situation! We will also plant a garden as soon as we get there, so all you green thumbs can be satisfy! We hope to move to a land that interest us, to learn about it as much as possible about it before the big investment.

COST PER MONTH

For hoursing, food, communication, and transport, i say from 350$ to 650$ a month minimum, let me explain... The housing will not cost more the 600$ per month, all depends on how many people will show up, the rent will be split among us, it can cost you as little 20-50$ a month if enough people... Food is quite expensive, so if you want to eat awesome food like sapote or durian (if available), it might cost you up to 15$ a day, so 450$ a month. BUT!! If you decide to give a little effort, you'll easely find food around that nobody cares about, like coconut, rose apple, sugar cane, some jackfruit, many varieties of bananas, plantains, coconut palm heart, oranges, and many greens like local spinach, colllards, katouk or cranberry hibiscus, my favorite, etc... If you go this way it could cost you only 5$ a day or 150$ a month. I will buy a truck for everyone's groceries, at least for as many people as possible, and for looking at lands, going to the beach etc... So I will ask for gaz money, not much, but with other transports like bus's, I would say 100$ a month. Then for communication, its easy to spend 2-5$ a day on internet, so about 100$ a month.

ACTIVITIES

We hope to be as proactive as possible, and not just surf all the time...lol. Looking for land and building a garden will be a good part, but we need to get to know each other as much as possible. So we need to play together!! Any sport like soccer, frisby or even tag will be part of our days. I also will try to get a Risk board game, believe it or not this game worked very well last year to learn about some people... Any suggestions will be welcome, I bet we won't run out of ideas!

WHAT TO BRING

A tent that is well aired, or a large mosquito net with a tarp over it, or a hammock with a mosquito net incorporated in it, with a tarp over it. Don't worry though there's barely any mosquitoes year round! Some good hiking shoes, as light as possible, crocs and five fingers might get wormed out fast on the gravel roads and long hikes we take to look for land. A sleeping bag is not essential, a blanket can be plenty, but some summer sleeping bag can be very compact compared to a blanket... Outer then that you know the essential, tooth brush, cloths, ceramic knife, wooden spoon, etc...

TOPICS OF CIRCLES

The group will be divided into 2, the ones truly interested in becoming a resident of the community, and the ones whom are there simply to witness the event... the fist ones will have lots of circles to attend to, even home works!! We will be talking mostly of the vision. We need to find out what is the core goal of every one, the long term one. Then we need to choose a legal entity, a cooperative probably, that is to buy land under many people's name, to protect each other financial and legally. This will be the toughest thing to accomplish. After we learned about each other and made a fancy document, one or two of us will have to go back with me to Montreal Canada to finalize the entity... Which will take about a month of work. Its important to understand the necessity of this, I really hope you did or will read Diana Leave Christian's book Creating life together... Our bible if you ask me... In there you will see what we will talk in details, and how we will talk, like with a facilitator, some of us are trained in this. Also we will talk about the different branches of the project, such as a animal shelter, a yoga center, a PRI (permaculture research institute), a healing center, etc.. Lots to talk about!

So I hope i gain your attention... And like I said, you can simply come as a witness, enjoying the fruits, the beach and the fruitarian company! No stress!

For more information please don't be shy, add me on Skype, I'm pom.vincent, and on Facebook I'm pom vincent, with no period in between.

Blessings!

Need someone to help guide and collaborate on my vegan diet!

2014-07-08T23:45:44.000Z

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be here because i'm passionate about health and I'm so fortunate to have learned about the vegan diet starting about two years ago.

I've had trouble staying on it since my boyfriend is a vegetarian and loves cheese, but after learning so much on animal cruelty, I cannot look at animal products the same ever again.

Thanks to freelee she also help shed light on the egg industry, i'm so furious at the way they treat the little chicks that are just adorable, awwww, then smoosh. You just cant unlearn that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfvdypnAgg

Anyways, i'm the only vegan in know, its sad. So that's why i'm here, Id love to talk about this with other people and share ideas. I'm slowly going from vegan to raw vegan, and eating mono meals of fruit for breakfast and lunch, just having trouble eating big quantities as recommended. Does this take time? I eat a normal vegan dinner, slightly processed (veggie burgers, daiya cheese, etc) with veggies and usually some sort of grain (rice, whole wheat).

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and meeting vegan people!

how many fruitarian in the world?

2014-03-31T18:47:56.000Z

what's your estimate about the number of fruitarian in the world?

more or less 200000?

NO VEGETABLES OR WATER?

2014-02-03T08:22:01.000Z

Hey everyone,

so for a few weeks I haven't eaten/drank anything besides fruit. That means no water or vegetables. Is this bad? If so why?

Thanks so much to everyone offering help on this site,

80/10/10 and pets?

2013-12-15T17:17:58.000Z

Hi, everyone! I have been looking into getting a bird companion, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with feeding birds a fruit diet. Is this acceptable to feed a bird mostly fruit and seeds with some greens like i eat? I want someone to share my meals with, and i dislike the idea of purchasing synthetic bird food as my bird's staple in its diet. if anyone has experience with birds, please teach me more on having a healthy, happy bird! <3

HELP!!! Am I Mixing Foods The Wrong Way???

2013-12-02T02:13:12.000Z

So I have been making smoothies for breakfast. Usually with bananas, coconut water, and some other variation of fruit. I just now heard a little bit about the fact that you're not supposed to mix certain foods together. Does anyone know of a website or what kinds of food you shouldn't mix together. More importantly I would like to know why these foods should not be combined. It seems to me that it wouldn't be a big deal if I mixed certain things together but I could be wrong. That's why I need help. Any thoughts??

Premature Menopause on Vegan Lifestyle?

2013-10-28T04:35:41.000Z

I've had many people told me that if I continue eating this way, my skin is going to age prematurely. Not only that, I am going to face premature menopause as well.

I do not believe about the skin crap because my skin is way healthier than before (which was good to begin with), but not too sure about menopause and ovulation because I definitely want to give birth in future. (I'm turning 20 btw)

Any information on this issue? Thanks in advance!
