Licon Dairy- Petting Zoo

Annalyse Appelzoller and Savannah Appelzoller at the Petting Zoo in San Elizario. Both girls are petting the donkeys and having fun at Licon Dairy. An El Paso tradition, The Licon Dairy has been serving our community for over 50 years. From the early start, our Mexican style string cheese has been a local favorite since it was delivered from door to door by the company founders Soltero & Isabella Martinez. Only a couple of packages were made daily and sold. Eugenio Sr. & Maria Licon then proceeded to push the company further and began to sell in local markets and small grocery stores. As the third generation, Gene Jr. & Sandra Licon have expanded their business and founded new and exciting ways to bring in new customers. Their son Angel Licon created a modern and new technique of selling their home-made products available to their customers nation wide. Everyday over 500 packages are sold and enjoyed by local customers and out of town customers. http://www.licondairy.com/about.html
