  What a wonderful experience! We enjoyed what turned out to be a private tour (as we were the only one who booked on the day we visited) with Carolina, who... read more is part of the third generation working and living on the farm. She was the sweetest host! The location was magical! Feeding the calves and making queso fresco with Carolina’s mother was a special treat.

It’s very evident that Carolina and her family take pride in their work and care deeply for the land and the animals. Highly recommend booking this experience!

The location is gorgeous and its immediately obvious that the family cares about their animals, land,... read more and community. Feeding the calves was amazing, as was seeing the Capuchin monkeys steal some sugar cane for an afternoon snack. The kitty mister Roberto was a sweet boy who loved getting some free milk from the cows. Carolina's father was charming and funny, as was her mother who helped us make cheese and tortillas from scratch. I highly recommend this experience to anyone in the area!

  This is a small functioning dairy farm. The family is very nice and show you how they run the farm. You get to milk the cows, feed the calves and... read more make cheese and homemade tortillas. This farm has been functioning for 5 generations. It was worth the trip especially as we were the only ones there so it was a private tour without paying for a private tour.

  Súper lindo. Llevé a mis amigos de EEUU por primera vez aquí en CR y les encantó. Amamos a canela la vaquita 🙂 y al resto jaja

  What a great unique tour in Monteverde! Orlando and his family were so kind and welcoming. He gave us a proper tour of their family’s farm, including feeding baby pigs... read more & cows! We also got to milk Canela (their 5 year old cow) the ol fashion way which was a pretty cool experience for someone who’s never done it. It’s much harder than it looks! 🐮

  Had an amazing experience with Orlando and Carolina! You can tell how much they care about the animals and are dedicated to raising them the right way. I learned so... read more much about the history of their land; it was definitely an unforgettable experience!

  This experience was amazing. This family is adding so much good to the world through their farm and their efforts to spread the word about organic farming. You can feel... read more a lot of happiness in this place.
Apparently they also have an Airbnb to sleep at! We wish we had known! Check it out!!!

  Orlando’s family are beautiful humans all around. We felt as if we were among family and felt so comfortable! We were the only ones on the tour and we welcomed... read more graciously with coffee, water, agua dulce (sugarcane water). Orlando jr. started off the tour showing us the farm, telling the history and really going into detail about how their farm is completely organic and how they were able to attain that accomplishment. They use nature and natural medicines to take care of their animals and property which showed how much love and effort they put into what they do. We then got to feed baby cows, even bottle feed a one week old calf and we even met Sylvestre, their pig and all their gallinas. After the tour and feeding time, we milked a cow named Canela and made fresh chocolate milk with Orlando the OG! We ended making fresh cheese, tortillas, and talking food with Carolina and Orlando. It felt like we were family for those few hours. An unexpected highlight of our trip to monteverde!

  Little gem we found while looking for a toddler friendly activity. Orlando and his sister were super host and made us felt welcome. The experience is interesting and made us... read more understand a side of Costa Rica. Also, our toddler loved it, especially the friendliness of Orlando

  Definitively the best tour we went on in Monteverde (~20 min drive from town). Orlando was super friendly, laid back, and an excellent guide. He not only provided details on... read more the day to day operation of the farm, it's history, and his family's connection to it, but also took the time to chat with and learn a little bit about every guest on the tour.

There's not much more you can possibly ask for out of a tour.

  This was such a sweet and wholesome experience! It was such a pleasure getting to meet Orlando’s family and see his home and meet all the animals!!
