After arriving at our homestead, we are given a tour of the herbal gardens by the owner.
We smell and taste many different herbs, including the herb Gymnema, which blocks your sugar receptors after you eat it.
After touring the herb garden, we are given a homemade, herbal tea that contains several herbs from the herb garden.
We are then taken to a separate area where there is a sugarcane presser. This presser extracts the juice from the sugarcane, giving us fresh sugar cane juice.
Four at a time, we took turns cranking the machine, this then turned the gears, which pressed the sugarcane stocks.
The sugarcane juice travels down an underground pipe. When it comes out the other end it is strained and falls into a pot.
We each got a chance to try a glass of fresh sugarcane juice.
Our homestead owner took us on a tour of his honey bee farm. He took out a set of bees and explained to us how they extract their honey without the use of smoke.
We each then get a taste of the raw honey extracted from the honey bees.
Finally, to end the day we take a group trip to an elephant sanctuary where we pet and take pictures of elephants.
