Wonderful experience to witness one of the last generations of dairy farmers on the island. Very educational tour of the family farm and community. Our tour guide even included local food on a break and it was so delicious! Getting to view the farmers perspective on milking his cattle, taking the milk to a milking drop off station and doing it again twice a day really allows you to experience the dedication this island has to offer. 100/100 would book again!
Thank you so much for this spectacular review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that our tour resonated with you so deeply. Documenting and sharing the lifestyle of our island's traditional dairy farmers is a true passion of ours, and we love giving our guests an honest, educational look at the incredible dedication required to run a family farm here in Terceira. I am also so glad you enjoyed our local food break—we believe that tasting our regional flavors is an essential part of understanding our culture! Thank you for recognizing our dedication, and you are always welcome back to the farm! Safe travels!
This was an absolutely amazing experience!! Carolina is so passionate about what she does, it felt like we were hanging out with friends. She and her dad are so knowledgeable about the dairy industry on the island. They shared the entire process with us and answered so many questions. As an agriculture professional in the US, it was amazing to see the differences between what we do.
Thank you so much for this incredible review! It was an absolute privilege to host you and share our daily life on the farm. I am so glad that beyond all the technical insights, it felt like hanging out with friends—that is exactly the authentic connection we want our guests to experience. Thank you for choosing Azorica, and we wish you all the very best with your agricultural work back home. You are welcome back to our pastures anytime! Safe travels!
We had the most incredible dairy farm experience with Carolina — an authentic, hands-on day that we'll be talking about for a long time. We were first driven to a scenic overlook, which really showed the magnitude of dairy farming in Terceira. Then we were taken to the field to meet the dairy farmer, a farmhand, and of course, the cows. This wasn’t just a tour where you stand back and watch though. We were invited right into the action. We were able to interact with the cows and the calves, which were absolutely adorable, and actually milk a cow ourselves. We even got to drink the fresh milk right there in the field! Carolina patiently explained the entire process and answered our many questions, the farmer showed us how to milk properly, and they made sure both we (and the cow) were safe and comfortable the whole time. We then followed the proces from cleanup to drop off of the milk as well as the feeding of the "teenage cows" which we got to help with. We even had a bit of a party of cheese and bread for the ultimate conclusion of an excellent day. Everyone involved was amazing, we learned so much, and the experience really highlighted the extensive amount of work that goes into the process that we take for granted when we usually just grab a container from the grocery store shelf. Being up close with such large, gentle animals was special. You could really see their personalities — some curious and eager, others contentedly chewing and watching the world go by. It gave us a new appreciation for the care and dedication required to keep a farm running. What made the experience exceptional was the warmth of the people running it. They were welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their animals and their work. Nothing felt staged or commercialized — just real farm life shared generously with visitors. If you’re looking for something authentic, educational, and surprisingly heartwarming, this dairy farm experience is absolutely worth it. We left with big smiles and a whole new respect for farmers everywhere. 🐄
Thank you very much for your kind words! It was lovely meeting you, you are always welcome! :)
