Business started in 2004| Local/Foreign Owned
After witnessing the rapid effects of global industrialization and environmental deterioration, founder Juan Sostheim decided to focus his life and business experiences into developing healthful food source and space for his family and friends. He purchased the 400 acres of land that has since become Rancho Margot. More than a beautiful eco-lodge, the business is commited to educating and fairly employing its neighbors, including the nearby village of El Castillo. By providing educational, technical and economic opportunities, Rancho Margot is dedicated to the well being of its local community working to grow together toward a sustainable future.
