Organic
Tour in Huerta Los Tamarindos
45 minutes | 6 guest
minimum | $38 US
Guests
arrive and congregate under the large mango tree where they are
offered fresh juice or iced lemongrass tea. As this is a working
organic farm with strict hygiene standards, they will be asked to
wash and disinfect their hands before the tour begins.
Baskets
and scissors will be distributed for collecting produce from the
field, and participants will receive an instructional flier with
information on organic agriculture.
As the
tour continues to the field, the guide, an agricultural engineer
with vast experience as an organic farmer, will point out different
aromatic herbs and vegetables, demonstrate the proper way to pick
each of them, and explain what it takes to become a certified
organic farm and how this differs from conventional farming.
The last
10 minutes of the tour will be devoted to questions and answers from
the tour group.
There
will be an opportunity for guests to use the restroom or have
another glass of juice or iced tea. The tour will end in the ranch
house, affording guests the opportunity to purchase a variety of
products produced on the farm, including tomato sauce, and infused
oils.
NOTE: We
recommend you wear long pants and closed-toed shoes.
