catching up

The farmer and I have been trying to get away since January, and finally this week we did: into the mountains for two nights, then to the city for a night. Came back refreshed, and with supplies.  I spent today catching up with all the things I needed supplies for - and realized that we actually do a lot of things! So, here's my (partial) inventory of things we produce on the farm, and will be taking to the market tomorrow:

fresh fruit for tomorrow: champedak, duku and calamondin

greens for tomorrow: katuk and chaya

ornamental plants

chocolate bars: vanilla, rosita de cacao, allspice, milk

raw cacao

chocolate nibs

vanilla extract

vanilla paste

vanilla beans

calamondin marmalade

araza jam

dried fruit mix

candied ginger

cookies!

black pepper: ground and whole grain

medicinal honey: healthy spoonful, loving spoonful and sleepy spoonful

soaps: tomorrow we'll have activated charcoal, volcanic clay, papaya citrus, goats' milk, sandalwood orange, vanilla mint, eucalyptus mint, chocolate, oberon, coconut, tropical smoothie, playa negra and tooth!

activated charcoal and volcanic clay mask

jungle juice bug repellent

ginger hair serum

essential oil perfume blends: sweet and clear, and yoga

soothing salve

tincture blends: cleanse, immune, memory, gastric, kidney, liver, menopause, strength

Now I know why it took us so long to get away :)
