A Truly Authentic Experience – Back to the Roots - Telma and Nix welcomed us with genuine warmth and dedication, taking time to patiently show and explain how food is traditionally prepared and processed. Immersed in nature, one feels transported into a slower, simpler rhythm of life, catching a glimpse of what everyday existence might have been like long ago. The cheese-making workshop was both fun and fascinating—everything was carried out with great care, in a spotless and hygienic environment, making the experience as enjoyable as it was educational. The goats live an idyllic life, freely grazing on a rich variety of herbs and blossoms the wilderness provides. During the walk with Nix, the shepherd, it quickly becomes clear just how demanding and underestimated the work of a goatherd truly is. This was an unforgettable and enriching experience—authentic, grounding, and deeply inspiring. ✨ 10/10
