Brown sugar and island banana sweets making experience
It's a delicious, fun and educational experience that utilizes all five senses.
The guide is an organic farmer and brown sugar artisan who moved here with his family in 2012 and has been practicing and researching the field ever since.
So I'm relieved, satisfied and totally satisfied.
"From the field to the dining table!" This is a food education program where you can experience the process of making sugar from sugarcane.
It's also perfect for your child's summer homework.
There is also a wealth of topics from the perspectives of history, geography, biology, science, and more, and even adults will be surprised and nod in agreement with the trivia.
The freshly made, piping hot brown sugar you make yourself is delicious! What's more, you can only eat sweets made with two kinds of premium, domestic, pesticide-free island bananas and ice cream bananas here.
This is a popular tour with many repeat customers.
