One of life's simplest, yet exquisite pleasures is savoring fresh, ripe (preferably organic) seasonal fruit, at its source.
Finding a fig tree and gorging on the figs...
Wearing a protective helmet while under a durian tree...
Collecting wild strawberries/blueberries in a warm sunny field...
These are some of my life's sweet dreams...
Seasonal fruit hunting with people who appreciate such things is why I've created this group.

Ok, rumour has it that some farms on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica have DURIAN in season right NOW, mid February 2012!!! This seems unbelievable to me. Every place I know of here in Costa Rica that has durian trees produces them only around June/July time. Sadly, I'm never in Costa Rica during that time since I go back to Canada to work at my seasonal job. Finding them here now before I leave would be a dream come true because they cost a fortune back in Canada, in the Asian markets-$50…

They were kind enough to give 6 of the beauties. What a lovely Christmas gift. I've eaten four already (as well as my 8 course Christmas lunch), so only these two small ones are left to show you.

They are both amazing finds. My love is holding a 12kg jackfruit!!! I'm holding an 8kg guanabana or soursop!!! Sooo good.
