Wonderful Costa Rican home cooking lesson! - We had a lovely time making bread with Carolina. She is so warm and kind and her English is excellent. Her brother, who does the farm tours, was also welcoming, and we even got to meet the family dog! The open air kitchen has a beautiful view of the valley below and was such a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Carolina told us about the bread recipe, which was passed down by her grandmother. She went and harvested ingredients from their plot and they went right in! The eggs, milk, chives, etc were all from their farm—Talk about farm to table! We also made empanadas and were able to eat those while the bread was rising. Carolina was very prepared and had ingredients in accordance with our dietary needs. We got to talk to her about her schooling, family, and the cultural aspects of Costa Rica that you just don’t get when you’re doing a tour or on the typical tourist adventure circuit. My husband wasn’t sure about doing this but he ended up loving it and telling our kids at home what a great experience it was. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a “real” Costa Rican experience—off the beaten bath, non-touristy, just a chance to get to talk and get to know someone and enjoy personalized Costa Rican hospitality. You do need a car to get there; it’s about 15 minutes down the road from Santa Elena, the town center near Monteverde.

Much more than a cookery class - Relaxed and friendly cooking experience with majestic countryside views- this is a wonderful opportunity to spend time in the kitchen of a working cheese farm with a charming family. Get to stir the dough mixture with a spoon that's been handed down through family generations !

Gaining First Hand knowledge From a Costa Rican Family While Making Empanadas - This was truly one of the most memorable events of our trip. We had the opportunity to engage with a Costa Rican family while learning to bake empanadas. I enjoyed meeting Orlando and his mother Yolanda and his uncle who picked us up at our AirBNB. We learned about the history of the area they lived in and gained some insight as to what it must be like to live in Costa Rica on a farm. The family was very warm, welcoming and gracious.

Fun and yummy! - Beautiful setting on a working diary farm. We enjoyed learning how to make the traditional Costa Rican sweet bread as well as empanadas. They were very welcoming and patient, even though one of us was a baking novice. But equally enjoyable was learning the story of this multigenerational farm and the lives of the surrounding farming community.

Fantastic bread, great fun! - We had an amazing time. Warm friendly hosts. Beautiful surroundings! We had such a fun time. The bread and empanadas were great, if I do say so my self. A must do in Montverde.

Great food and views - Absolutely wonderful morning in Monteverde! The food was delicious and the farm is beautiful. It was nice to get away from town and learn about local food with a lovely family. Adding this activity to the farm activity also hosted by the same family would make a great day. :)

Very unique experience! - Sweet experience! Our host Carolina and her mother guided us through the bread and empanadas making process very patiently and the result was fun and delicious. It’s a perfect experience for cooking lovers and couples. Also, the name of the farm is so well spot on for the amazing view one can enjoy from there! The price value is very honest considering the alternative activities in Monteverde: the host took her time to chat with us, didn’t rush anything and we went home with a ton of bread.

Amazing experience - Can’t recommend enough! We came as family with 2 kids and everyone enjoyed 100% of the experience. While we were waiting blessed with beautiful sunset view my kids were playing outside. we had delicious dinner with hand made empanadas and bread, also green tea is included. Host is kind and welcoming. We had amazing time and I recommend to all of you to try.

Great cultural experience - We are a family of six and wanted a real cultural experience while here. This was perfect! Yolanda and Carolina were so welcoming, made the whole experience enjoyable for the kids and we got some very tasty, authentic food. The view was fantastic also. We finished just in time for one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend

Peaceful and filling - The farm is a beautiful setting. Bread making (and eating was a treat). I was disappointed I did not receive the recipes we made to use at home. Especially the empanada!! I make them all the time and bought the flour to make at home ….
