Every one of these was taken on a working farm or in the forest around it — the farms themselves are set out on the farms page, and what ends up on the table is on the tastings page. If you want to stand in one of them, La Fortuna Coffee Tours lists every tour that goes there, and the shape of a farm morning covers the rest.
