If you’re looking for a vacation where your children can experience life of a real farm, learn about where their food comes from, and immerse themselves in nature, then an agriturismo with an educational farm is the ideal choice for you.

On an educational farm the little ones can have fun outdoors, get up and close with the animals, and above all, discover new and exciting things in a unique rural setting.

All about educational farms

So what exactly is an educational farm? An educational farm is an agriturismo that organizes hands-on experiences especially geared for children and youngsters. The activities are guided by specialised personnel and designed to help kids discover farm life: for example, harvesting fruit and vegetables or cooking with ingredients from the farm. 

The very first educational farms were founded in Scandinavia, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Gradually, the idea travelled south, reaching the Mediterranean around the 1970s.

In Italy, the first educational farm was established in 1967 thanks to Alimos, a cooperative of agronomists and agricultural technicians who aimed to encourage innovation in the farming industry, protect the environment and spread a new food culture.
