Finca Fresh Produce Bags
Save a trip to the grocery store and enjoy natural and sustainable produce right from the source!
Residents and visitors to Finca Bellavista can now get farm-fresh produce from the on-site gardens and local farmers. Produce varies from day to day, but there’s always something yummy available. The Finca Fresh produce bags are worth every penny, as our homegrown, delicious goods are supplied by employees that earn living fair wages and enjoy their work, food costs money to grow, and driving to/from the store has a carbon footprint to consider. It’s tough to beat fresh produce grown on site! A mini-tour and harvest of the garden is also included when available (based on staffing/weather).
The following three Finca Fresh options are currently available. Please note that the selection of produce in each bag can vary, depending on what items are fresh and in-stock.

Community Meals
Each treehouse (except for La Torreluna) has some type of cooking facility to use. You are welcome to cook your own meals. For guests that would rather not cook for themselves or for those that enjoy company at mealtime, Finca Bellavista provides meal service in the community center with advanced notice (upon check-in). Community meals mainly consist of delicious and fresh plant-based dishes using home-grown and locally sourced ingredients. Meat options (locally sourced fish, chicken, and sometimes pork) are available for dinner every other night. We can happily accommodate for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets – please indicate your dietary preferences when making your reservation.
Finca Bellavista staff will need advanced notice if you plan on joining meals (at check-in, or the meal before is considered advanced notice). Meal delivery to treehouse rentals is available only when staffing allows. If your party has dietary restrictions, please notify us on your reservation form.

Property Management Services
A treehouse in the rainforest makes for a very unique home… and many people vacation at the finca as well. It’s becoming a great way to share the “quintessential Costa Rica experience” with the rest of the world. Finca Bellavista is functioning as a treehouse resort community.
