Description

We are a couple with 5 years of experience working together in the same field, and we have a strong dedication to our work. Over the years, we  have learned that working on a dairy farm not only allows us to develop professionally, but also helps us stay close as a family and accompany our 8-year-old son as he grows. Juan has extensive experience in the dairy industry, having worked in various roles such as rural worker, fencer, manager. As for Katty, although initially worked in the pastry business, she decided to change careers after meeting Juan. With a great deal of commitment and always looking to  learn more, she have immersed herself in dairy farming. During the last years, Juan and Katty have gained several skills in milking, disease management, pasture management, and operating farm machinery, including tractor operation.
