Traveler Comments
Everything about this experience was wonderful! Jaymer, our guide, was amazing. We were the only two on the tour (low season) which made it extra special. We had a small tour of the farm before making our lunch with Fabiola, Audette, and Jaymer. This was one of our favorite tours of our trip!
This was one of our favorite experiences! Jammer was such a fantastic host! Everyone was very friendly, the farm is lively and the kitchen and restaurant very clean.
This was so incredible. The family were so incredibly friendly and made the class fun. It felt like we were catching up with close friends. Great experience!!
