The experience

Our farm produces organic goat milk and cheese, dulce de leche, ricotta, and yogurt.
We also produce eggs, vegetables, poultry, jams, and compost.
You will learn about the importance of the care and love we give to all our animals in the final product.
You will see the full process of how you can produce your own food in an agroecological, organic way.
Between March and July we do not produce milk.
