From Udder to Cup: Traditional Cow Milking with Don Chico
Wake up with the sun and step into a time-honored tradition. At 6:30 a.m., join Don Chico — a legend in our community — as he begins his daily cow milking routine. This is more than a demonstration; it's an invitation to participate in a ritual that sustains both people and place.
A Taste of Rural Life
You'll be welcomed into the corral and handed a warm, handmade drink: pinolillo sweetened with raw sugar. As Don Chico milks the cow, you’ll add the fresh, foaming milk directly to your cup — tasting la leche al pie de la vaca, as it’s known locally.
Meet the Heartbeat of the Land
This experience offers more than a taste of milk — it’s a connection to the rhythms of rural life. Learn how this simple act of milking feeds entire families in the surrounding community. Witness the care, humility, and respect between human and animal that defines true sustainability.
Everyday Magic
Surrounded by morning mist, the scent of grass, and the gentle movement of the animals, you'll feel something rare — a sense of belonging. This is farm life in its purest form, unchanged by time, and shared with open arms.
Come share a sunrise with Don Chico, and leave with more than a story — leave with a warm heart and a full cup.
