Turquoise browed Matma On the way to La Angostura micromill, we saw this beautiful bird, making clock-like motions with it's tail to attract a nearby mate. Francisco used to be an eco tour guide. |
Costa Rica 95 Catimor La Angostura had a few of these trees still around, probably soon to be replaced since the cup quality on these never panned out. I was amazed that the cherry size was so large. |
Edwin Mora's Trusty Toyota The dueno, Edwin, had this cool old Land Cruiser out back, from the '70s |
Local Bakery At the tiny town of La Angostura nearby, the bakery and pizzeria. |
El Puente Ecologico Next stop was this mill, which is a collaboration of 6 "socios", a mini coop. On the left, Rudolfo, tme in the center, and Edwin, whose hat reads "Edwin"/ |
Mad Parrot of the Patio I liked the grafitti of the crazy mad parrot. El pajaro salvage. Their farms are between 1550 and 1700 meters in Santa Cruz de Leon Cortez. One of them has a great name: Finca Las Chiras Kuasas: Forest Chicken Farm |
La Violeta - Agravid Next we stopped at a similar mini-coop of 9 socios... Agravid. Their micro-region, La Violeta, is a much nicer name. The parchment here was especially nice, and they separate Typica lots. This is Franco. all are married into the extended Garbanzo family. |
Great Art Franco's daughter has a pen set at the warehouse and traces her hands and her dad's hands on the bags - very sweet. |
Navarro Mill - Francisco gets down Francisco was really feeling the Law of Attraction, and had to get this picture. I had to get a picture of home getting his picture. |
navarro roastery They do some roasting for 2 shops of theirs and some other local outlets. This is a local roaster, a Bendig I believe. |
Wise Warning? I don't know why, but I guess the cooling tray on the Bendig roaster at the Navarro Mill is especially dangerous. Watch Out Costa Rica! Pura Vida! |
