Sicilian Donkey Land

Livestock to discover and preserve 

On the slopes of Etna (Catania district), in a beautiful natural setting, there is a farm protecting, conserving, and rehabilitating local endangered breeds. 

This Sicilian family-run business hosts more than 80 Ragusan donkeys in a semi-wild state.

It was the first in Italy to be licensed to sell directly donkey’s milk.

A precious ancient staple recommended for pediatric use, thanks to its benefits and healthy features, and for skincare. Even Cleopatra is said to have maintained her soft, smooth skin with donkey milk baths.

Visiting Donkey Land, young and old can approach the Sicilian animal world. Following all the farm stages – from milking to milk processing – and getting the chance to ride a donkey and taste their delicious milk!
