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 :)
