El Toledo Coffee Tour

We are a sustainable organic coffee farm. We have been using sustainably organic practices for over fourteen years. Today we are happy to consider ourselves environmentalists first, and coffee farmers second.

Reviewed By CJDueck - Altona, Canada

Highly recommend this coffee tour, if you enjoy learning the difference between organic and truly natural processes of coffee production. We have toured three other coffee plantations in CR and they were all unique and enjoyable, but this one I especially appreciated for the authenticity and the small farmer perspective.

Reviewed By Daleb0422 - Ajax, Canada

This is a family run organic farm. They want you to come and see how they have tried to transform farming for the last 10-15 years. You are taken on a tour of the farm and get to take part in some of the activities such as pressing sugar cane. Then you get to taste sugar cane spirits. Farther on you learn about cocoa and get to make chocolate from the beans. You roast them, crush them, and eventually make your own chocolate to your own taste. Then a cup of hot chocolate. They served a traditional Costa Rican lunch and then treated us to a display of dance performed by some of the children.

We arrived at this farm a little apprehensive as to what was in store for us, we left having had the best time !!!! We had a brief explanation of he fruits and vegetables that were grown on the farm and then we learnt about sugarcane. We pressed some cane and sampled some of the juice we then got to try the sugar cane moonshine which I can only say was warming ! We were then given a little tour of a sample of what was grown in the farm which was really interesting. We picked some things which weed to be added to the dinner which was being prepared. We went inside and are split into groups to make some of the things for dinner ... some made tortillas which we then cooked some made a salsa and some made a delicious potato dish. We then sat down and had the most delicious Casada style dinner. There was a great little shopping corner where you could buy their coffee Cocoa beans and good quality souvenirs. Wine beers and water was available to purchase with dinner.
