Living on a farm is all about recycling and reusing whatever you have.A few examples would be, putting a bride-groom figurine from your own wedding in the 1950'sonto a wedding cake you are making for a local couple.Or feeding the cat everything that goes bad or humans wouldn't eat (like the grizzle, etc.).It is so great to see such a sustainable way of life (at least in terms of day-to-day life).Also, because Costa Rica is such a productive place they are able to grow much of their own food.They have a tomato and chile plant, lemon, banana, and avocado trees, an herb garden, not to mention their coffee and milk.There are also many other farmers in the area so each Saturday they go to a farmers market in Santa Elena.It is such a great example.It makes me try to brainstorm more ways to make me impact on this earth less.Always a good thing.
