While they are not really pancakes like you may be used to, these traditional corn "choriadas" are made from fresh ground corn. Ana Cecilia and her husband Elias will give you a tour of their farm that includes fruits and vegetables of the area, African Palms, and sugar cane all of which help to feed the gigantic pigs they have! The pig farm is where they gain the majority of their income by breeding and selling baby pigs, but seeing the adult pigs is the true spectacle! After the farm tour you will pick fresh corn, shuck and peel it, and then manually grind it in a traditional hand held machine used here in Guanacaste. After the grinding process she will teach you how to make a "choriada", a mix between a thick corn totrtilla and a sweet pancake.
