Summer Camps in the Farm 2024

From 24 June to 27 July, we plan the Holidays in the Farm, the summer camps for children from 5 to 14 years old.

Children will have the chance to live in a real farm, in contact with animals and nature, playing and having fun at open air, eating the genuine products of the garden.
During the day all the activities of the farm are held, such as feeding animals, giving the milk to the calves, milk the cows and turn milk into cheese. Every day children will pick up the eggs used to make delicious biscuits and cakes and with the fruit picked up, they will learn how to make artisanal ice-cream. Do not miss moments of fun and games in the pool!

Every day there's horse riding: stables activities, grooming, approaching to the horse and Baptism of the saddle. Every day, we will experience the thrill of getting on the saddle and we will meet this fantastic animal.

What are educational farms?

An educational farm is an agriculture or touristic company, where “active” educational activities are held, especially for kids and children. The company keeps being a productive reality at all the effects, education is an integration to the normal activities. These promoted by the farm are held by our qualified staff.

The aim of the educational farm is to promote the knowledge of activities that take place in the farm, involving the guests (kids, teenagers and also adults) in the realization of a typical “product” or in other agriculture activities, such as the harvest of fruit and vegetable products.

Why are they so important?

Educational farms make contact between urban world and rural world. They open to the public the farms through the promotion and education. They promote in the new generations and sociaties traditions and customs of the country culture. Most importantly, educational farms improve crafts and artesanal manual skill with direct experience. The educative value of the project and the possibility to requalify the agriculture activities as a complementary source of income and marketing tool contribute to the most popolarity of the iniziative in Italy and in the world.

Functions of educational farms

The legislative decree 228 of 18 May 2001, “Orientation and modernization of the agriculture sector”, indicates the recreational and educational activities that aim to a better knowldge of the territory among the multifunctional activities of a farmer.
Modernity, urbanization and industrialization have allowed to pay less attention to the countries activities, local products and transformations that these have to face before arriving to the supermarket and then our tables. Educational farms represent the ideal place where observe in person nature and agriculture work.
Under the guidance of qualified operators, adults and children learn to know better the rural environment, plants, animals and the products of the land. They try new typical agriculture activities and ancient crafts.
