The weekend provided us with an amazing opportunity to live with a Costa Rican family. I stayed at LasPalmas, a sustainable farm specializing in coffee production. The family also raises medicinal plants, so no need to go to a drugstore. We also discovered all of the fruits, vegetables, and tubers the farm offers for a constant and readily available food supply. At each meal we were treated to fresh produce; plantains, mangoes, pineapple, jucca, cacao, tilapia,and of course coffee. They also raise chickens, so we dined on chicken soup for dinner and fresh eggs for breakfast.
Rosa, Edin, Vera, and Pablo are a very welcoming, hardworking,loving,and fun family. I enjoyed every single moment of my stay. In fact,I would love to return for a visit with my family.
We did a lot of hiking through their forested land and even got to observe coffee production from beginning to end in a very simple outdoor buiding.
The family has its own biodigestor and is able to fuel its own home with the methane produced from their pigs' manure. I'm looking forward to sharing this simple and sensible process with others when I return.
