Rancho Margot, Day 2
We started off our day with a delicious breakfast and a lot
of coffee. We then piled on a bus and learned that our tour guide owns the
company that took the Bachelor Brad and the contestants waterfall rappelling,
which is what we will be taking part in tomorrow. We visited this really amazing self-sustainable
farm called Rancho Margot. We began our experience with a tour around their
facilities and got to learn how they are able to have a negative carbon
footprint, we got to see many of their organic crops and plants including
banana trees and coffee plants that they grow on their 400 acres. We then took
a much needed break and got to experience a really yummy organic lunch buffet that
their kitchen prepared for us. After our bellies were full and we refueled on coffee
we then broke off into our separate tour groups and took part in some really
cool projects that helped out the ranch. Our first group got the opportunity to
herd some dairy cows into the barn and actually got to milk one of the cows and
some of us were brave enough to try the milk straight from the utter. During
this time the second group was preparing a garden bed out of the homemade fertilizer.
The first group then planted cucumbers, carrots, and cilantro in the garden
that the second group had created. While the first group was planting crops the
second group got to feed chickens with worms from the compost and also got to
take part in feeding the pigs, and actually kissed the pigs. After a long day
at the ranch we returned to our hotel and relaxed in the hotels hot springs
until the rain storm hit. We finished off the night with dinner at The Volcano
Lounge. Today was definitely a tiring, fun filled day and everyone can’t wait
to get a good nights sleep. Until tomorrow…
