Side trip to Juan Camilo Pena's farm

Juan Camilo Pena owns More local, Chambo Challenge, Lanka Challenge. He's a business partner and we met for drinks in Bogota. as we talked about passions, the conversation lead to food and farming. His family has a farm outside of Bogota and he invited me to see it the next morning at the sparrows fart as he was planning a quick trip up there anyway to take of some business before he headed back to Canada. I leapt at the chance and spent a very early start (6am) with breakfast at a roadside stop  just across the presidential farm at a place he had been going to for years since the family had the land, el Cevercito. A bakery with fresh hot cheese breads, a Colombian breakfast staple.  Drove about 40 minutes north of Bogota to a town Tocancipa where the farm was tucked away about 3 km away. Met his caretakers Alvaro and his wife (Raquel?).






Very unique and memorable experience.
