About the Experience

Let´s explore this typical dairy farm in the Azores, a pioneer in the production of organic milk, where milking is carried out in its traditional format, outdoors in the pasture with a total guarantee of animal welfare. The process of conversion to organic mode and its production is explained. Direct contact with the animals, including the possibility for visitors to manually milk one of our happy cows by hand and taste the milk, accompanied with traditional cookies. Contact with the animals is an option, where it is possible to pet the cows and take pictures with them, as well as circulate through the pastures. Interaction with the farmer who explains the details of his activity. Visit the milk collection station, where the milk is temporarily stored before going to the factory.
