The 10 Best Things to do in Hatillo, Puerto Rico

As the 2008 economic crisis swept across the United States, the commonwealth of Puerto Rico experienced its fair share of financial struggles. In the agricultural community of Hatillo, Puerto Rico, dairy farmers scrambled to stay afloat. Wanda Otero, licensed microbiologist, and owner of a private dairy laboratory, learned that many of her clients were no longer able to pay for her services. This would mean they could not have their milk tested, approved, nor sold: essentially, they would go out of business. So what did Wanda do? She got creative. To serve her community, and help keep them all afloat, she told her clients that they could pay her in fresh milk; something of which they had plenty. Using her talents and skills in microbiology, she took that milk and started producing some of the highest quality cheese and yogurt the island has ever tasted.
