We visited the Laos Buffalo Dairy on our way back from Kuang Si Waterfall, and what an absolute delight it was! I had prearranged the extended tour as a surprise for my husband, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by Suzy, who shared the inspiring story behind the farm. She explained the amazing work they do to educate locals, promote sustainable farming practices, and ensure excellent animal welfare—all at no cost to the farmers. She jokingly called it her "mid-life crisis," but we agreed it was a pretty incredible one, making a real difference in the community.
The tour itself was fantastic. Our guide was slightly cheeky, incredibly fun, and full of knowledge, making the experience even more enjoyable. We got hands-on with the animals—feeding pigs and rabbits, milking, hosing down, and brushing the buffalo, and bottle-feeding the adorable baby calves.
The experience ended on a high note with a private high tea shared with the calves. It began with a cheese tasting plate paired with a glass of wine or beer, followed by tea or coffee, cake, and ice cream. The ice cream was exceptionally creamy, and the lemongrass flavour was absolutely divine!
We highly recommend a visit to this farm—not only for the tasty treats but also to gain insight into the incredible work they're doing for the local community. A heartwarming and delicious experience all around!

从关西瀑布回来的路上,我们参观了老挝水牛牧场,真是太开心了!我提前安排了这次延长的旅行,想给丈夫一个惊喜,结果它成了我们旅行中的亮点之一。
抵达后,Suzy 热情地迎接了我们,并分享了农场背后鼓舞人心的故事。她向我们讲述了农场在教育当地人、推广可持续农业实践以及确保动物福利方面所做的杰出工作——所有这些都是免费的,农民无需承担任何费用。她开玩笑地称之为自己的“中年危机”,但我们一致认为,这是一次非常了不起的经历,为社区带来了真正的改变。
这次旅行本身非常棒。我们的导游有点调皮,非常有趣,而且知识渊博,让这次体验更加愉快。我们亲身体验了动物——喂猪和兔子,挤奶、用水管冲洗、给水牛梳毛,还给可爱的小牛犊喂奶。
这次体验以与小牛共享的私人下午茶圆满结束。首先是一盘奶酪拼盘,搭配一杯葡萄酒或啤酒,然后是茶或咖啡、蛋糕和冰淇淋。冰淇淋的奶油味格外浓郁,柠檬草的味道更是令人惊艳!
我们强烈推荐您参观这家农场——不仅是为了品尝美味的食物,更是为了了解他们为当地社区所做的杰出贡献。这绝对是一次温暖又美味的体验!
