Working farm

Zuleta encompasses 2,112 hectares of pastureland, forest and protected areas of native primary forest. The hacienda’s production, with approximately 300 Holstein-Friesian cows, consists mainly of milk.  Six thousand litres of milk are produced daily, which is used to produce eleven varieties of semi-aged cheeses, cream, yoghurt and cream cheese in Zuleta’s cheese factory.
Other products farmed are potatoes, barley, wheat and approximately 2000 sheep for wool and meat. 900 tons of humus are generated by the worm farm per year.

The trout farm raises a mixture of steelhead and rainbow trout sold in the local market and used for personal consumption at the hacienda itself. Approximately 26 tons of trout are produced per year.

Zuleta also has a beautiful organic garden, which produces 25 different vegetables, herbs and fruits for personal use at the hacienda.

The hacienda has almost 100 horses, some pure Andalusians and some polo horses, and a mix of Andalusian, quarter horse and thoroughbred. The workers use the horses for transportation inside the hacienda, whilst guests and family members ride the horses for pleasure.
