Hey Tropical Fruit Farmers,

I just want to share a blog that my wife and I are working on while we travel around SE Asia. The purpose of our trip is to research durian. We have visited small farms in Indonesia, large orchards in Thailand, a 3rd generation organic farm in Penang, Malaysia, plus durian festivals, research centers, agriculture festivals, and even weird stuff like eating competitions. By the end of our trip we will have spent the whole of 2012 of the trail of the durian, from Indonesia to Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Borneo, and maybe even Zanzibar.

If you haven't learned to love durian yet, or if you're a durian connoisseur, my wife is adding a recipe section with both sweet and savory (durian curry?) recipes you might like to try.
