The farm

We love animals, and horses most of all.

Hacienda Papá Ramón is Ramón Melo's farm in Azua, in the south of the Dominican Republic, looking out over the valley and the mountains. Horses, goats, sheep, birds of every colour, bees and cattle live here, each at their own pace. Walk it with us, from morning to nightfall.

The green valley with its fields and the mountains behind
The Azua valley

The pasture

Rows of planted pasture with the mountains behind
A horse grazing under big clouds

Where they live

The aviary building, painted pale grey
The goat barn, raised on stilts

As evening falls

The sun low over the hills and the valley
Horses grazing under a cloudy sky

The valley and the mountains

Stay close to the farm.

We share life on the hacienda day by day. Follow along or message us.
