A five-course afternoon on a cacao farm near La ConcepciĆ³n.
An Easter Table Beneath the Cacao Trees
If your idea of Easter is a long table beneath the trees, good food, and time to linger, you may feel at home here.
On Sunday, April 5, from 3:00–6:00 PM, twelve guests will gather for a five-course Easter afternoon on our cacao farm near La ConcepciĆ³n.
Garden seats begin at $97.
Only twelve seats are available.
Guests arrive to a fruit and chocolate board and a refreshing drink as they settle into the grove. Courses are served slowly, one at a time, with space for conversation and connection between each.
The table is set in the shade of the cacao trees, where a light breeze moves through the grove and conversation comes easily.
The meal is shaped by what the farm is offering that week, harvested at the moment it is ready and prepared simply for the table. Many of the dishes come directly from the orchard and estate, so guests who enjoy plant-forward meals will find plenty to savor, with heartier courses woven in as the meal progresses.
This is not a restaurant meal. It is a shared table, where the afternoon unfolds gently, and the focus is as much on the gathering as the food.
Cacao grown here is crafted into chocolate that is shared throughout the meal, including handmade Easter bunnies prepared to accompany dessert, along with a small selection of bonbons for the table.
Because the table is small, the afternoon remains personal. By the end of the meal, most guests feel less like visitors and more like part of the gathering.
Reservations close March 29 so the menu can be finalized and preparations can begin.
P.S. Because the table is limited to twelve guests, reservations close March 29 so we can finalize the menu and begin preparing. You can reserve your place here: lynbishop.com/easter
CSS dissolved the contract and the consortium is appealing the decision before the Public Procurement Tribunal.
The Social Security Fund (CSS) administratively terminated the contract it had with the Alca-Ger consortium for the reactivation of the Boquete polyclinic; however, the companies decided to appeal the decision. Through the forensic firm Morales & Associates, the consortium, made up of the companies Alca Holding International, INC. and IngenierĆa GER, SA, filed the appeal before the Administrative Court of Public Procurement (TACP), this Thursday, March 19. Thus, the termination of the contract by the CSS is suspended until there is a ruling from the court.
The measure adopted by the CSS was due to the consortium's alleged breach of its contractual obligations by not delivering the completed project on the indicated date, which was December 22, 2025. In addition to terminating the contract, the CSS barred the consortium from participating in the institution's tenders for four years. The contract signed with Alca-Ger was for $9.2 million and was endorsed by the Comptroller General on June 21, 2023. The Boquete polyclinic is one of the last projects that were halted by past administrations and is still pending.
In its defense, the consortium requested that the TACP declare the CSS resolution null and void due to a violation of due process, that it be rendered ineffective, and that the violated right be restored. The new polyclinic in Boquete began construction during the administration of Guillermo SƔez Llorens; however, during the government of Juan Carlos Varela, the work was halted. This would be the second time, should the TACP rule in favor of the CSS, that a contractor has failed to build the health facility. The first was the company Riva, SA, whose contract was cancelled for non-compliance with a project that should have been completed in 2014.
2 Consortiums have failed to complete the construction of the Boquete polyclinic.
2023 Theyear in which the contract with Alca-Ger was signed, which the CSS terminated due to non-compliance.
