One Piece of Land.
Everything Under One Roof.
We are actively working to acquire 193 acres of land in Valley Center, California — a place that will serve as the physical home of ALVARA and a living expression of everything we stand for.
ALVARA Sanctuary will be where we produce our honey, develop our products, host our community, and practice the regenerative stewardship we talk about. The place where our work and our values share the same ground.
Our CEO, Jared Angaza, will live on the property with his family and serve as the primary steward of the land — ensuring that care for this place is woven into every day, not delegated from a distance.
The Bee Haven
At the center of the Sanctuary is a commitment to the bees. We are building a pollinator habitat designed to house the bee colonies that will produce the raw honey at the foundation of MycoNectar and future products.
Working with apiculture and permaculture experts, we will transform this land into a genuine haven — native plantings, diverse forage, and colony management rooted in reciprocity rather than extraction.
Over time, we will open the Sanctuary to other honey companies, beekeepers, and land-based businesses who want to learn how to bring regenerative bee stewardship into their own operations.
Where Ancestral Knowledge
Meets Scientific Rigor.
The Sanctuary will house our commercial kitchen — the place where Ty Clark and Dr. Glen Rein develop new formulations, prepare ingredients, and refine the craft behind MycoNectar.
We will also grow select herbs and botanicals on the property, feeding directly into our current products and future R&D. The land becomes part of the supply chain — and the kitchen becomes the place where ancestral wisdom and scientific rigor meet every day.
A Place to Gather
ALVARA Sanctuary will be a gathering place — for our community, our partners, and the people we serve. We will host vitality retreats, educational workshops, investor gatherings, and community events on the land.
Our Front Line Vitality initiative will bring veterans and first responders to the Sanctuary for programming designed around their specific needs. The Sanctuary becomes a destination — and every gathering held on this land deepens the ALVARA community.
We Are Not Building
a Campus.
We are restoring a piece of land. Working with permaculture specialists and conservation partners, we will develop the Sanctuary as a regenerative site — improving soil health, establishing native habitat, increasing biodiversity, and creating systems that give back more than they take.
The goal is a property that is healthier each year than the year before. This is what symbiosis looks like in practice.
"We take care of the land. The land takes care of us."

The land is available, and we are actively working to bring it into the ALVARA family.
