Juanilama, hombre grande, sábila, jackass bitters, turmeric, cacao, noni: the mountain is a pharmacy if you know where to look. On this walk we identify the plants growing wild and cultivated around the farm, talk about how they are used in Costa Rican households, and finish by preparing a tea, tincture or salve together.
