It is, specially, remarkable an exhibition of sheets with images and explanatory texts as well as a panoramic projection about nature. Its philosophy is clear: to preserve and disseminate the heritage and cultural farming memory of Lanzarote.

foreman of the estate which preserves all the furniture and household goods at the time. In the great eruption of 1730-36 this agricultural space suffered a major transformation with the coating of rofe (volcanic ash). The last volcanic explosion (19th century) occurred just 1,500 m away from the farm. They put into practice the major crops of Lanzarote: enarenados and jable and they still work the traditional fruit trees, cereals and vegetables and raise local farm animals (camels, goats, chickens, ducks). They also elaborate and bottled their own wine (malmsey, red wine, muscatel). Goat cheese is also produced in the Farm Museum. Both products can be tasted and purchased in their typical canteen. We would like to emphasize the great didactic work that the Museum is doing with the intention of providing guidance to teachers on the development of active methodologies, being an excellent forum for reflection on previous cultures and societies.
