FARM INFRASTRUCTURE
The topography of the countryside is gentle, an undulating plateau marked by ranges of low hills.
It is best for livestock farming, although there have been plantations of different crops.
Improvements have been made to the soils for winter pastures (different grasses and clover), but no fertilization and weed control has been used in the past 30+ years thus changing the area into an eco-pasture.
These well managed pastures sequester carbon, filter water, feed healthy soil, provide wildlife habitat and make for a more diverse landscape.
The farm is divided into seven paddocks, each with a eucalyptus forest for shelter and its own water supply (drinking fountains, tajamares, well with a windmill, 500 meters coastline on the Lagoon).
There are facilities like a pier and tube for working with livestock.
