Finca Ellis is a small, organic farm in the heart of the Andes Mountains just outside of Cotacachi, Ecuador. We are a community with a heart for sustainability, nature and working together with the Ecuadorian indigenous communities.

​

The events we host are diverse in nature and ever evolving as we partner with the indigenous community and volunteers to support further sustainability of the farm and the indigenous community.  Our events include indigenous classical concerts, mariachi bands, art shows featuring local artists, women's empowerment activities, workshops, and indigenous cultural events. Events are all centered around sharing the finca with others and giving back to the community. 

​

We create and sell handmade organic body and food products, unique spice blends and host enriching and fun events throughout the year to raise food and supplies for those in need within the indigenous communities.

​

Finca Ellis began as a little farm in 2015 when Ron Ellis purchased the farm in the indigenous community of La Calera Ecuador (1.5 hours north of the capital of Quito). Ron was a visionary and wanted to create a sustainable community at Finca Ellis working with respect, honor, diligence and dignity in partnership with the indigenous leaders, local community, and internationally to establish cross-cultural understanding, create opportunity and foster greater human connection through our various projects. Deborah joined her father Ron in Ecuador in 2016 to put their creativity together and began to realize the vision of the farm.

 

Since 2016 when Deborah joined Ron, so many things have evolved. However, sadly on August 24, 2017 Ron passed away unexpectedly.

​

        "Every day I miss his counsel, but we continue on with peace and joy as he would have wanted. Since 2016 we have created a strong infrastructure and have hosted guests from around the world." - Deborah

We look forward to meeting you when you join us at Finca Ellis!
