Our Story

About Attesi

A place where land, community, and spirit grow together.

How It All Began

Attesi started with a simple idea shared between two close friends: buy a piece of land outside Mexico City and learn to work it through permaculture. At first it really was just that — two people, some soil, and a lot to figure out.

But the longer they spent listening to the rhythms of the land, the more the project changed shape. Planting and tending became a kind of practice, and the land began teaching lessons of its own. What was meant to be an experiment in farming slowly became a way of living.

Word spread. Families came — drawn by the same things the founders had found: a slower pace, a connection to the earth, a sense of building something that mattered. A community began to take root.

Today, Attesi is home to more than twenty families, a retreat space that welcomes guests from around the world, and gathering places like Attesi Kitchen, our kosher restaurant, and the Attesi Market Café. It has grown in nearly every way — but the intention is exactly what it was on the first day: to cultivate a place where land, community, and spirit can grow together.

Attesi is now a community of over twenty families, a retreat space, and a gathering place — including Attesi Kitchen and the Attesi Market Café — still rooted in its founding values.

The Story So Far

Six chapters in the making of Attesi — from a patch of soil to a living community.

  1. 01

    The land came first.

    From the very beginning, Attesi was cultivated through permaculture — working with nature rather than against it.

  2. 02

    Then came the families.

    Drawn by a shared vision of intentional, sustainable living, the first families put down roots and a community formed.

  3. 03

    Jewish life wove itself in.

    Shabbat and the holidays became part of the natural rhythm here — tradition and land finding a home together.

  4. 04

    The table grew.

    Attesi Kitchen and the Market Café opened as gathering places — the farm-to-table philosophy made real, and a place for community and guests to meet.

  5. 05

    The doors opened.

    Attesi welcomed its first guests from around the world, offering a retreat space and a different pace of life.

  6. 06

    And it keeps growing.

    New families, deeper practices, the same founding vision — Attesi continues to evolve without losing its roots.
