? Full Description

This engaging 2-hour experience takes you behind the scenes of a third-generation Costa Rican dairy farm nestled in the misty highlands of Monteverde. The tour begins with a friendly introduction to the farm’s animals, including cows, calves, pigs, goats, and chickens. Guests are invited to interact with the animals, learn about their care, and even try milking a cow — a memorable highlight for visitors of all ages.

You’ll walk through the farm’s gardens and pastures, where you’ll discover how the family maintains sustainable, chemical-free agriculture. The farm grows part of its own produce and practices eco-friendly methods that help preserve the surrounding cloud forest ecosystem.

Next comes an interactive cheese-making demonstration. Using fresh milk from the farm, you’ll help separate curds, form cheese, and learn about the artisanal process that has been passed down through generations. Once the cheese is ready, you’ll join in preparing handmade tortillas — rolling, flattening, and cooking them the traditional way.

Finally, enjoy your freshly made cheese and warm tortillas, served with coffee, tea, or a refreshing local drink. The experience offers authentic Costa Rican hospitality and a peaceful connection to nature and local tradition.
