Delicias Map

Giant Cucumbers
Cucumbers seem to grow very easily here, and to tremendous size. And contrary to popular belief, we’ve found that even the largest cucumbers till taste great. Did you know that cucumbers are covered with prickly little spines before being picked? They are easily knocked off and aren’t too sharp, but they give a bit of […]
Raw Vegan Green Papaya Salad
The farm is literally swarming with huge green papayas at the moment, just asking to be taken advantage of. Never having used papaya’s in my cooking before, I was forced to scan the net a bit for some inspiration. I came across a recipe that had the basic ideas of something I could work from, […]

The frijoles are grown, harvested and hand shelled here at the farm, and we have also just started to produce the first tomatoes, small yellow and […]
Cashew Cheese
Cashew Cheese At Anamaya I felt personally taken care of as a lactose-free eater, as they don’t serve of cook with dairy products at all, aside from optional butter they put out for the daily delicious selection of healthy baked goods. All cheese products at the resort are goat’s so free range for me! Aside […]

Sweet Potato Chick Pea Burgers with Passion Fruit salsa This was everyone’s favorite farm concoction as of yet! I served the burgers with 2 types of salsa making use of the passion fruits that we collect from the grass inside ‘The Passion Dome’. I personally find this space to be a hub, encapsulating the […]
