The education farm was born from the desire to offer school children, guests, and anyone interested the chance to rediscover a natural setting, the countryside,typical rural life of Umbria, forgotten cooking and traditions, all in an open-air workshop. In modern-day society, more and more people are extraneous to country life, and this may be an opportunity to come into contact with it,to see first-hand where the products we eat every day come from. On the premises there is a petting farm for children. We also organize horseback riding for one or more days.
