Beet and Carrot Carpaccio with Homemade Pesto Goat Cheese
Every morning the goats get milked on the farm and every other day we will convert the raw milk into delicious cheese crumbles. For this recipe we decided to flavor the cheese with pesto made from freshly picked basil leaves. This recipe was first made by Fanny, also known as “Sweden”, and she is one […]
Avocado Salsa with Mango
I’ve never been a peculiar fan of sweet salsas, but when being in the tropics it is the time to think outside the box, play with new ingredients and enjoy the dynamic flavor of Costa Rica. Yesterday, we decided to make a avocado mango salsa, seeing as most of the ingredients were in abundant availability […]

Thai Green Papaya Pad Thai
No Noodle Pad Thai is a personal favorite of mine, so coming up with a way to make it extra healthy here on the farm is super exciting, and we all ate mounds of it in full knowledge of it’s healthy freshness. Inspired by the success of the previous grated papaya recipe and spurred on […]

Materials needed: Several smaller bottles with lids (recycled vinegar or wine bottles work well) Large wide-mouth jar Piece of cloth to cover jar Ingredients: Skins and core of […]
