Batu, en.SERU.co.id — The dairy agritourism potential in Brau Hamlet, Gunungsari Village, Bumiaji District, Batu City, Indonesia is shining brighter than ever. This hamlet consistently packages its local potential into a family educational tourism destination while doubling as a production center for high-quality mozzarella cheese.
Boby Irawan, the Coordinator of Brau Hamlet Milk Educational Tourism, revealed that tourist visits are becoming increasingly diverse. Visitors range from individual families to large tour groups who are curious to see the milk village and cheese center firsthand.
“Lately, we have been seeing a lot of families coming here. Usually, the numbers increase significantly from mid-year toward the end of the year,” Boby said on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
Interactive Farm Tours and Fresh Milk
To treat travelers, the management designs integrated educational packages. These include stable tours to witness live milking, visits to the milk cooperative, and tours of the mozzarella cheese production house. Each package already includes a welcome drink of fresh milk unique to Brau Hamlet alongside a local guide.
“The visit duration is adjusted to the group size, taking about one hour for families and 2.5 to 3 hours for large groups. The interactive sessions in the stable area and production house usually capture the visitors’ attention the most, with many asking questions enthusiastically,” Boby revealed.

Beyond its tourism appeal, Brau Hamlet stands out as a high-standard mozzarella cheese producer. In a single processing cycle, the local production house can utilize up to 1,000 liters of fresh milk, where about 14 percent of the total volume is converted into premium cheese products.
“The marketing of mozzarella cheese made in Brau Hamlet has also widely penetrated markets outside the region. Its distribution network now spans the island of Java, Yogyakarta, Greater Malang, all the way to Bali,” he concluded.
The popularity of Brau Hamlet has soared even higher thanks to visits from several Indonesian celebrities, such as Ariel NOAH and Raffi Ahmad, who previously visited the farming area. The presence of these public figures successfully caught the public’s attention and made this destination go viral across various social media platforms. (dik/mzm)
