Birthday celebrations at .farm What an inspiring experience thoughtfully organised by

Crocadon is a 120-acre organic farm where everything revolves around sustainable farming and soil health. We dined at the farm's stunning barn-turned-restaurant, helmed by Michelin star and Green Star and his team

On arrival we were invited to tour the farm and check out the polytunnels to see what was growing, bridging that gap from farm to table.

The food? Absolutely next level. Every delicious bite showcased fresh, organic produce sourced directly from the farm or from friends nearby. Clever, beautiful, innovative dishes that perfectly reflected the Cornish land and sea. Don’t get me started on the ceramics, Chef Dan even makes the plates from the farms soil!

What made it even more special was knowing how much thought goes into every detail at Crocadon, from the regenerative farming techniques to the onsite brewery, bakery, cafe and even the stunning interior.

If you’re ever in Cornwall, this is a must-visit. Cheers to the crew for such a memorable one, until next time.

There’s something magical about wandering through a local market— the colors, the smells, the sense of community. Picking out fresh, vibrant produce grown with care feels so much better than grabbing something off a shelf, covered in plastic. We enjoy supporting local producers and their passion for growing real, quality food. Shopping local isn’t just about what’s on your plate, it’s about giving back and staying connected to the people who nourish us. Let’s work together to help keep these markets alive and thriving!

Crafting connections, one bite at a time.

Food holds a remarkable superpower; It unites us long before it reaches the dining table to be enjoyed. From the initial spark of inspiration to the final presentation. When a shared passion is combined with collaboration, creativity, and attention to detail, that's when the real magic happens.

Catch of the Day - Dourada

Also known as the Gilthead Sea Bream, this unpretentious yet celebrated fish is a staple in Portuguese coastal cuisine. Local fishermen have been hauling in the dourada for centuries, making it an integral part of the country's fishing industry and maritime culture.

With its mild, firm flesh, the Dourada is incredibly versatile. It can be simply grilled, sautéed or featured in heartier stews and soups. No fancy techniques are needed for this fish to shine.

While understated, the humble Dourada carries cultural significance as an emblem of Portugal's abundant fishing grounds and deep-rooted seafaring traditions. An unfussy star that has earned its place at the table, generation after generation.

Food made with love, seasoned with good company

Last night's table was a delicious celebration with people from around the world. We had the pleasure of cooking for an amazing crew from Australia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. As we gathered around the table, we didn't just fill our bellies, but connected over stories and personal experiences. A beautiful evening and a pleasant reminder why we do what we do.

Eat the rainbow 🌈

It may look enticing, but really, eating a plate full of colour isn't just pretty to look at - it's a nutrient burst your body will thank you for. Different color pigments mean different vital nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants to keep you feeling your best.

Let those vibrant hues be your guide to a balanced diet. Greens provide vitamins galore, while oranges pack a punch of vitamin A. Purples are antioxidant heroes, and reds bring the vitamin C party. Even blacks and blues deserve a shoutout for their richness in fiber. More pigments = more vital goodness flooding your system to fight disease and keep your energy soaring.

During a retreat, filling up on nature's bounty is essential fuel. You're giving your mind, body, and spirit the right nourishment to fully immerse in the experience.

We're are now taking bookings for next year. Visit our website (link in bio) for more information on our services.

Food has an incredible way of bringing people together. Something special happens when we gather around the table with loved ones to share a meal. Simple acts create warm, joyous memories that stick with us long after the plates are cleared. Apart from nourishing us, food allows us to celebrate old traditions, explore new ones and show people how much we care. So let's cherish these moments of community and connection sparked by the humble power of a delicious meal made with love.

Christmas Day filled with love, laughter and delicious plant-based creations! ✨ Our magical evening was spent doing what we love most – cooking and bringing people together.

For the main event, we delighted our guests with butternut squash stuffed with cranberry, pistachio, and lentils, accompanied with savoury gravy.

The feast continued with sourdough and chestnut mushroom stuffing, herby roasted potatoes with caramelised garlic and lemon cashew sauce, glazed seasonal veggies with walnut garlic crunch, sweet and sour braised red cabbage, and a shaved brussel sprout and kale salad featuring fennel, green apple, and toasted pecans drizzled with a maple mustard vinaigrette.

And for a sweet finale, we savoured caramelised plantain, cardamom date caramel and a Christmas crunch served with homemade toasted coconut ice cream.

Enjoyed with the festive flair of a mulled hibiscus fizz mocktail. A truly enchanting celebration of flavours and togetherness. 🎄🍽️

Café Don Emilio

One of our goals at Alegría is to bring some light to the small businesses we collaborate with. We had the opportunity to live a truly humbling experience with Don Emilio & his family at their coffee plantation deep in the hills of San Luis, San Isidro, Costa Rica. We were warmly welcomed into their home and got the chance to participate in this delicate process their ancestors have been perfecting for more than 100 years. Seeing the journey from plant to cup has given a new foud appreciation for Artesan coffee and the intensive labour processes that are involved to make high quality, organic, beautifully roasted beans. The proof is in the taste! Want to try? Swing by the local Feria in Uvita on Wednesday or Saturday or check out this site to live the experience yourself.. https://pulperia-y-cafe-don-emilio.negocio.site https://www.facebook.com/cafedonemilio8cr/
