Costa Rica 2011 Part 5: Don Juans Organic Farm

 Today we went to Don Juans Organic Farm. This farm amazed me since it is fully sustainable by itself. Electricity is provided by methane produced by cows.

They grow yuca, tomato, coffee, lettuce, pineapple, papaya, sugar cane, cucumbers, corn and herbs. Tobacco, citronella, basil, oregano and flower of death are grown on the edges to keep insects off the produce. Crushed sugarcane is used to make their own candy and liqour.
