Bienvenidos! Hello & welcome! I'm so happy you're here.

I (Nicole) founded Nourish Farm back in 2019, in California, with a desire to share fresh, sustainably raised food, as well as healing botanicals, with my family and community.

Now 6 years, tons of delicious food grown and cooked, 2 more kids, a new location in Panama, a dome home, 20 head of cattle, and a beautiful tropical farm later....my family and I still have similar dreams and goals.

We moved to Panama in 2023 for many reasons, one of them being we wanted to have more land to raise more of our own livestock and food. Now that we are settled into our new home and farm here in Panama, and have many plants, herbs, and trees growing - we are excited to be able to start sharing some of our beautiful bounty with all of you.

Stay nourished, xo Nicole

The heart of rainy season is here ☔️. Green everywhere, lots of mud…and always being entertained by our 3 wild boys.

Also, our last calf of the 2025 calving season was just born - all mamas and babies have done great this year🐮! We are starting work on our basketball/tennis court, and making plans for a hoop house for dry season gardening. 💐🌱

I’ve never used lemongrass hydrosol until I made it fresh here from our farm in Panama. Lemongrass is native to tropical areas and we have planted lots of it around our house! 🌿✨

As a hydrosol (distilled plant water) it can be used as a facial toner, *safe* bug spray, for hair and scalp health, or on pillows and linens to freshen them up.

It smells bright and slightly citrusy with a light, refreshing aroma (does not have the heavy, strong scent of lemongrass essential oil).

I have been using it a lot on my scalp and hair and it makes my hair so soft and helps with any dry scalp or itchiness.

Get your’s by ordering from my website starting October 1! 🧡🌞🌼

I am so excited to share that I will be doing a holiday botanical launch again this year! I’ll be doing things a bit different than last year. I will be making all the products myself at our farm here in Panama & shipping them to the USA for Turlock pickup.

I’m offering 7 botanical products this year - most of them will have ingredients I grew right here on our tropical farm.

If you’re not on my email list and want more info, comment 🌿 below and I’ll reach out to get your email and send you all the details!

Pre-ordering goes live October 1! Are you excited? I sure am! I can’t wait to share some of the beautiful, tasty plant medicines I’ve been making here in Panama.

We’ve been getting lots of milk lately (thanks to the hard work of @edddduuuaaaarrdddoooo and selling some bull calves). So, I’m back to making queso fresco/fresh cheese/cottage cheese/paneer - they’re basically all the same.

We like to add chopped herbs and of course plenty of salt. And when you have a fresh loaf of sourdough, you have the perfect snack. 👌🏻✨

Taking things one beautiful, blessed day at a time.

My dad passed away last week, after an 11+ year battle with cancer. Thankfully Jude and I were able to make it back to be with him before he went to heaven. My sisters, mom and I were surrounding him as he took his final breaths.

I have no words for now. I love you Pops.

Happy 9th 🎈birthday to our first baby boy Jude! ☀️ We had such a fun day celebrating him today!

He loves books, cooking, geography and flags, math, and dreaming up his future life in Tokyo. He also loves legos, basketball, N64, wrestling, and quesadillas. He’s a great big brother and a big helper around the farm.

We love you Judey! 🐢🧡🏀

The boys all went to the beach the other morning, so I took this rare opportunity to record some peaceful moments in our dome. (It’s never this quiet in here)!

These are some of my favorite spots in our home. Almost everything in our home was passed down from family, handmade by a loved one, bought second hand/vintage, or handmade here in Panama. What a difference that makes in bringing warmth to a home.

Coming to life. ✨🌴

A house just doesn’t feel quite like a home until the gardens start exploding with life and growth. Luckily, when you live in a rainforest, that happens pretty fast!

#nourishfarmpanama #domehomepanama #casadomopanama #aircretedome #domehome

I love our cows and I milk them if I have to, but I’m so glad @edddduuuaaaarrdddoooo has taken that role on our farm. He does all the other work with the cattle (calf care, medicines if needed, rotating for grazing, AI, & more), so milking them became a natural part of that.

I can focus on what to make with the milk instead of always being busy milking!

He separates calves, moves cattle, and milks multiple cows by hand EVERYDAY and we’re so grateful that he does this for us…and for the delicious fresh milk we get to drink and cook with. 🥛🤍

And to all the mamas out there who are milking your cow(s) on top of everything else, I commend you!! 👏🏻

Hallway bookshelf ✨I’m so glad we added this arched hallway into our dome design (it’s between our main dome and mama/daddy’s dome). It gives us a little extra space that makes a big difference. The bookshelf was made locally with Spanish cedar, like most of our new furntiture.

The boys love sitting against the cool, earthen wall and looking at our giant, ancient dictionary (bought from a used bookstore in Turlock that closed its doors! 😢)

These are many of the plants & trees we’re growing on our farm here in Panama. We have other plants growing as well, but these are the ones that are either native to this area or thrive in our tropical rainforest climate.

I have shared Spanish/Panamanian plant names of the ones I know!

What plants would you add?? Share with me in the comments! 🌱

Creek play day last week!🌤️🦦🐟

This part of our creek is perfect for hanging out and splashing around for a while, the water is fresh and cool, and the ants along the shore weren’t too bad if I sat on towel 😋.

We don’t have to leave the farm for an adventure!

#nourishfarmpanama #tropicalfarm

TWO years ago we said goodbye to our home in Turlock, drove a rented SUV to Los Angeles with our dog and 15+ pieces of baggage and totes(they barely fit), made it to LA with only a few hiccups, checked our dog in at the airport cargo area, then barely made our flight (because it took so long to check all our baggage in).

We arrived in Panama and then drove to our rental house in Las Lajas 6 hours away. After putting all our baggage away in the house, we walked to the beach 5 minutes down the road and I remember feeling knots in my stomach….uncertainty, nervousness, excitement, and “what the *%€+¥! did we just do?!”

Through it all God gave us a feeling of inner peace and a faith that this was exactly where we were supposed to be. He has guided us, protected us and blessed us so much these last 2 years. Taking this huge leap was the best thing for our family & it will only get better! All the glory goes to Him.

4th of July🇺🇸will never be the same for us. 🙃💛

#leapoffaith #relocation #panama

Take a peek at our spacious outdoor shower and half-bath. Taking showers out here is so refreshing and enjoyable, and I don’t have to worry much about cleaning it!
And now that the banana trees and other plants are growing, it’s even more beautiful. 🌴💐🌤️

We came back from our California visit to so much growth on our farm! And to the kids’ and my delight, we have our first banana flower and baby bananas (called guineos here).

We have plenty of work to keep us busy in the garden and with our cows for the next couple weeks. We are happy to back in our little piece of paradise. ☀️⛈️🌴🌺

Al regresar de nuestra visita a California, ¡encontramos muchísimo crecimiento en nuestra granja! Y para alegría de los niños y mía, tenemos nuestra primera flor de banano y nuestros primeros guineos.

Tenemos mucho trabajo que nos mantendrá ocupados en el jardín y con nuestras vacas durante las próximas semanas. Estamos felices de volver a nuestro pequeño paraíso. ☀️⛈️🌴🌺

Another visit full of sweet memories and lots of good food.

Happy Father’s Day to our favorite dada @edddduuuaaaarrdddoooo ! You’re a pro at all the daddy stuff and our boys are so blessed to have you as their example. ❤️

Screen door complete. More fresh air…less bugs. ☀️

Rainy season evening vibes. 🕯️✨

I’ve been reading Little Women again and thoroughly enjoying it! We’re never too old to be inspired by the characters in the March family. 🥰

Back to making water kefir! I used to make this a lot when we lived in Turlock and then stopped. But I recently got water kefir grains again and have been making it and we all love it! It gives us that bubbly, tangy-sweet flavor - while adding wonderful probiotics to our bellies and guts.

This is mango and pomegranate. A little Panama and a little California. (We found POM pomegranate juice at a store here).

Have you made water kefir before??

My treasures. ✨ They keep me young, creative, humble, and always striving to do better for them.

Happy Mothers Day to all you mamas…to my mother, sister, cousins, aunties, tias, grandmothers, and friends. Xoxoxo 🧡

Rainy season is here again! ☔️ This means everything is looking greener & lush & growing so fast.
There’s always some clouds in the skies. Rain will eventually come daily.
Cooler afternoons and evenings, with windows open and candles glowing.
Earlier dinners & bedtimes.
More playtime in the mud for the boys.
And my favorite: planting more trees and other plants out around the farm!

The abundance of life and color here is never lost on me. We love our rainforest farm. 🌴💚

Celebrated 39 years on this earth last weekend✨💐 praising God for all his blessings and all the beautiful places He has brought me. ☀️

What a treasure it is to walk each day with Him alongside me.

Some photos of our completed aircrete dome. 📸✨
We love it so much and are so happy with our choice and the final product.

All custom wood windows and doors, made by a local woodworker. Interior walls are an earthen-lime plaster (with earth from our land). Tile floors are terracotta made here in Panama. Exterior is a latex paint for waterproofing.

Design by @holisticprogression
Built by an amazing local team (with a little help from us).

Happy Birthday to my cow boy, husband, best friend, partner in adventure and so much more! 🥰✨🐮☀️

We love you!! Cheers to 35! 🍻

Check out the start to finish of our aircrete bathroom dome, connected to our main dome.

We added a tub and built a lovely custom shower wall with some glass blocks.

I spent a couple weeks plastering the shower area using a special Moroccan technique called tadelakt. It creates a waterproof barrier without chemicals. I used supplies and instructions from @earthaus.plaster and it worked great and turned out so beautifully.

The rest of the walls of the bathroom dome, we applied a lime plaster mix from @earthaus.plaster and added a beeswax sealant to make it moisture proof and easily cleanable.

Another dream & goal accomplished! Milk from our own cow who eats healthy, green grass from our own farm.

@edddduuuaaaarrdddoooo has been doing all the hard/fun work of training our first milk cow to let us work with her.

Growing flowers and being surrounded by blooms is something I missed so much after leaving our farm in Turlock.

Being able to make fresh bouquets regularly for our table or to take to a friend is always so sweet.

Im@so happy our flower and herb gardens are bursting with blooms finally. The boys love investigating all the different flowers and I love seeing how they grow everyday.

We started all these from seed: many varieties of zinnia, cosmo, marigold, Thai Basil and more.
