Review of: Sustainable Farm Tour & Lunch
We booked this on a whim and couldn't have been happier. Our kids enjoyed it, but the parents even more. The farm tour was informative. The kids fed a bottle to a calf, milked a cow and then enjoyed warm, fresh cocoa. Fresh homemade cheese and tortillas -- amazing. I wish we could go back.…

My husband and I visited with my 6 year old. We got there unannounced but Orlando Jr was still able accommodate us and give us a tour. He told us about his family and their farming. We got a tour of animals and even got to milk a cow. This was one of the most authentic experiences we have ever had. Orlando and his mom treated us like family. We enjoyed raw milk, then made cheese and tortillas with them. My daughter wants to go back ever since we left. Please do yourself a favor and go with your kids here. Absolutely wonderful!…

Our tour of Finca el Paraiso with Orlando was fantastic - mum, dad and our two kids loved every minute. We toured the farm, learned about the crops, and how the farm became organic, having transitioned from a traditional dairy farm a few years ago. We met Jefe the pig, Zorro the dog, the cat and her kittens, and all the other animals. We learned what they ate and got to feed the calf, kid and lamb their milk which our kids were fascinated by. We also milked the cow and tasted her milk -au natural and with chocolate! Yolanda, Orlando’s lovely mother, taught us how to make tortillas and queso which we then enjoyed with some coffee and caño. Orlando was very passionate, knowledgeable and super friendly. We felt very welcome on the farm. All in all it was a wonderful experience. Five stars!!…

Our family of four (kids 5,7) had an amazing experience with Orlando and his family at the farm tour near Monteverde. This is a perfect activity for your family, Orlando was very good with kids and spoke great English. If your looking for an authentic experience vs a tourist trap, this is the one! Of all the tours we have had in Costa Rica this one was our families favorite. From feeding animals and helping with chores to making cheese and homemade tortillas with his mother. We booked on airbnb experiences but you can also book on his website. If we had more time we would have looked into staying on the farm, they had an airbnb available.…

This is a great way to truly see a small working dairy farm in Costa Rica. This farm is beautifully maintained through all natural practices. At the conclusion of the tour, we assisted in making cheese and patted out our own tortillas. We then sat down for a snack of our freshly made cheese on the tortillas. It was delicious and a wonderful experience. This is a fantastic way to spend a few hours. …
