Postcard from the Farm
Lemongrass is one of my favorite herbs, well grasses I should say. It grows prolifically wherever we seem to plant it (on the farm in Garza, Costa Rica). Two great culinary applications are pictured above and you can check out the growing process below. 🙂
Illya Kagan in Costa Rica
One does not have to go far to find inspiration. The lone palm is an icon on the beach, and let’s you mark where you are from any point. As you walk to the beach along the woody path from Harmony, first you can hear the roar of the surf, then catch a glimpse of […]
Walking on Water
The Harmony Blog sits down with Spencer Klein, paddleboarder, surfer and founder of adventure outfitter Experience Nosara.
Water Falling

Meisinger, in addition to pioneering early climate research, has a less-fortunate claim […]
La Luna
On my second evening in Nosara, a bunch of “Harmonizers” went over to La Luna: one of the few restaurants in Nosara right on the waterfront. Apparently, it was built before regulations prevented direct waterfront development. We were a funny sight: a centipede of people stumbling around in the dark, except for Paul, who sped […]
