Some of you may have heard that little saying above. I’m not sure where it originated, but it can be heard occasionally in the USA. Well today in our cafe, the theme was Ice Cream. It was cloudy most of the day and then when the sun popped out the Ice Cream customers came in […]
Why would a coffee, pizza, and vanilla farm cafe serve and sell wine? We had several customers request that we serve alcohol in our cafe over the past 6 months. I think the cool outside setting of our garden pavilion feels like the right place to just sit and relax with a nice glass of […]
Please read the title again. It should read, ” Fire Ant Torture Test is upon us. Yes, as I mentioned in previous blogs, we pick process, and roast our own coffee to use in the cafe and we also sell it on Lazada, Shopee, and our website of course. My wife and I do all […]
We moved to Thailand permanently about three years ago to escape the so-called Rat Race. The goal was to spend more time with the family specifically the kids. Yes, I am supposed to be retired. But who can sit in a rocking chair all day, sipping coffee and surfing the web amongst other mundane tasks? […]
Well, it has been a long time in the making to finally take the leap to a website and blog. I figured after a couple years I would now have plenty of thoughts and experiences in Thailand to blog about. So this will be a quick one about the area we live in and the […]
I’m wrapping up our weekend with a little more mellow side. I went to a friend’s funeral a few days ago. I’m not going to talk about him, but his death was so sudden it made me realize that I have friends who I haven’t reached out to in years. That made me really sad. […]

Best things in life are free! My husband was busy roasting coffee beans all day yesterday. I woke up this morning and saw this freshly roasted coffee beans in a bag labeled’Mother’s Day’. I don’t know about you but my best cup of coffee is the one made from our own coffee that we picked […]
This is going to sound like an Oscar speech! Thanks to everyone – who came to our wine tasting today and thanks to all who came before that. Facebook loves to remind me how I don’t give enough thanks to people. It’s quite right and it pains me every day. Please know, those who has […]
We’re in the middle of a (very) long holiday weekend here in Thailand. Our farm store/cafe is normally open Saturday and Sunday however we’ll be open tomorrow (Monday) too. Since we are out of ingredients for pizza, we will be serving hamburgers and (farm grown) turkey sausages only. Looked back at the pictures I took […]
Having a small farm, we try to use our land wisely. We have a few hundred of vanilla, coffee and pepper plants since these are our main crops. The rest like lime, lychee, mango, banana and papaya trees we only have a few. There’s quite a bit of dragon fruit trees now (started out from […]
