Thanks all.
Thanks all.
I went and wore my most comfortable flip flops. If I went again and was planning to do the farm tour or the walk down to the river, I would definitely wear sneakers. The terrain is very hilly.

We are going next month for dinner, if it is as hot as everybody says I think perhaps I will skip the farm tour

We did not do well with pictures on this part of the adventure. We were pretty caught up in the moment. This is not the only river around the property. I believe there is one with better swimming potential nearby as well. It was beautiful and serene, with that perfect babbling brook sound and shady canopy above.Originally Posted by ohliz

The tour before dinner might not nearly be as hot as much more of the farm would be in the shade of the mountain I think. We were tramping around basically at high noon. Other than our guide, the farmers had all retreated and were relaxing in the shade at that point. One of them explained it was way to hot to be working and they'd be back to it in a couple of hours. We got to taste a number of unique fruit and it was totally worth the effort IMO.
This is on my bucket list. It sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day. I like the Farm-2-table idea. I am a bit of a foodie so this would be right up my street.
Went in February and will go back.

The tour can be hot, but I would not let that deter you from going. To help us cool down, we drank some coconut water (fresh from the tree) and we sat in the shade by the bamboo benches that I posted. When we got back to the main house we were give some cold sorrel drink, as well.
For some reason, we did not get to see the river during our tour. I appreciate the pics that were posted.
