As Laos' first and only buffalo dairy, we produce a wide range of artisanal cheeses and products, including mozzarella, blue cheese, feta, and ice cream. By visiting our dairy, you not only enjoy delicious cheeses and close encounters with our farm animals but also support local farmers by contributing to buffalo rental income, improved feeding, veterinary care, nutrition programs, and genetic revitalization efforts. Your visit also funds workshops for local farmers on animal husbandry, organic feed production, and buffalo milking techniques, helping to enhance rural children’s nutrition.
