TravelWorld International Magazine Fall 2022

Efren Robles was an amazing host at the
Frutos Guacabo farm experience.
Jason drinks shots of fresh goat milk from the goat he “milked”
at Frutos del Guacabo farm. Many of us tried “milking” also and
tasted the goat milk. So delicious!
he farm staff then
explained crop cultivation,
hydroponics, and how to be a
pesticide-and fertilizer-free farm
through ecological management. We
marveled that so much is accomplished
on only a half-acre of land! They even
make goat milk yogurt from the goats we
were petting. Even though we had spent
time on a Kansas farm, milking a goat was
something new. Mr. Robles showed us the
milking technique, and we tried it, using
our fingers to hold and squeeze milk from
the goat into a bucket. Some really good
photos came out of this! We also enjoyed
horses, chickens, rabbits and cats.
We were thankful to owner Efrén D.
Robles, his wife, son, and their friendly
staff, who all seemed to enjoy sharing
farming tips and meals. We were impressed
at how generous this farm is with food
samples from their crops. And they do it
all with such friendliness and awesome
customer service!
Approximately 200 restaurants on the
island buy herbs and ingredients from
here. We visited their store that sells farm
products to the public. Anyone can book a
similar farm experience here.
Side note: Hollywood actor Zac Efron
featured this Puerto Rican farm in his
“Down to Earth” show on Netflix!
Carla loved
her strawberry
margarita in Puerto
Rico. “It was so
perfect.”
We loved the flan with the
farm-grown berries on top
at Frutos del Guacabo.
