Meet The Founder
WE LOVE ANIMALS …
WILD AND DOMESTIC.
OUR DOMESTIC ANIMALS GIVE US COMPANY, TRANSPORTATION, PROTECTION, EGGS AND MILK!
GUESTS AT FINCA TERRA VIVA CAN VISIT THEM. IT REQUIRES A BIT OF COMMON SENSE TO AVOID ANNOYING THEM SO THEY DON’T REACT IN A WAY THAT CAN HURT SOMEONE. THIS IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WATCH YOUR CHILDREN. DON’T LET THEM WONDER AROUND NEAR OUR DOMESTIC ANIMALS WITHOUT SURVEILLANCE!
AFTER EVERY MILKING SESSION (TWICE A DAY) GUESTS CAN JOIN US TO FEED THE CALVES WITH BABY BOTTLES. IT IS FUN! .
