Farm Visit

Ever since we moved to the island Colin has been asking me to milk a cow. We have a farm behind us, but I rarely see the farmer milk the cows in the field, I think he keeps the milk cows back up under the trees. When I saw that our Outdoor Recreation was offering a farm visit tour I knew I had to sign us up. It was so much fun and so interesting! The family runs a traditional Terceira style farm that is verified a historical site by the government. They have restored a portion of their old farmhouse to look like it would have back in the early days on the island. They dress in traditional dress and share all kinds of interesting cultural and historical facts about their farm. It is immaculate and very well kept, they are very proud of their heritage and farm.
