La Parcela Integrated Farm
Located in Espavel de Batán, Matina. The farm consists of 7 hectares of land dedicated to pasture and forage, fields and some crops for consumption, with goats being bred and raised for milk and artisanal dairy products. In addition to the goat project, the farm has cattle, ducks, sheep and a pond with tilapia.
There is also a vermicomposting project, with Californian red earthworm, which makes use of goat and cattle excrement. The practices seek to bring balance to the environment.
Within the property, water is supplied to the house from a variety of sources, and there is a very long-lived espavel tree.
Tourists can enjoy learning about the goat project, its management in stables, the way goats are fed and cared for. Activities include feeding the small goats, a tour of the pasture fields and fodder banks for animal feed, the giant espavel tree next to the creek, birdwatching and seeing the worm compost process.
