On Sunday,
January 14, 2007 we took a
group of folks from Canada
to a pineapple farm and processing plant near
Arenosa. Frankly, I was a bit skeptical about the pineapple
farm tour, but it
proved to be a very nice experience. We were received on top of a hill
with a large rancho and small weekend house. The panoramic view is
striking and there was plenty of seating and tables for all 28 of us.
We were warmly welcomed by the proprietor and his family and treated to
a sumptuous spread of fresh fruits, ceviche, coffee, drinks, and the
best home made chicharrones (fried pigskins)) I've ever tasted.
We were then treated to a tour of the farm and a side trip to the goat
ranch, where there were enough kids to entertain children of all ages.
We also visited the processing plant and everyone received a couple of
ripe pineapples to take home. Afterwards, we returned to the rancho for
a delicious lunch and relaxation. All in all, the pineapple farm
excursion was a very enjoyable trip. |
