Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The Farm House Deli had their grand opening this month.  They are located in Belmopan, at the corner of Rio Grande and Nim Li Punit streets.  They offer fresh produce, pastries and bread, and artisan cheeses from Caves Branch(which can be found in Cayo at the Wine House).  Delicious!

"As close to organic as we can provide right now .. freshly garden picked daily .. a variety of over 20 fresh vegetables."

Yahoo Travel has a great article that highlights the new artisan cheese-making going on at Caves Branch Jungle Lodge.  They can be found in Cayo at the Wine House, and in Belmopan at the Farm House Deli.  If you like cheese, you've got to try these cheeses.

"With pristine Caribbean beaches and dense tropical jungle, the Central American country of Belize offers visitors the best of both worlds.  It has become a popular destination for adventure-seeking travelers, wildlife lovers, history buffs and R&R takers alike.  But one thing it has not been known for, largely due to its location in the tropics, is its dairy industry.  Until now, that is.  Three years ago, an entrepreneurial local lodge owner become one of the only artisanal cheese makers in the country.  Today, after honing its craft, Caves Branch Adventure Company and Jungle Lodge produces 12 varieties of cheese from a small batch factory on its property.  The Cheese is used to feed its own guests and sold to other hotels in Belize.
