TWO SIMPLE RULES TO RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND OUR LAND:

The La Buona Terra farm is strongly committed to respecting and protecting the environment, acting sustainably and empowering its guests through awareness-raising initiatives.

Therefore, following its own eco-biological philosophy, the farm has established two main guidelines for guests of the facility to follow during their stay:
1. Reduction of plastic consumption through the use of water dispensers (both natural and sparkling) located within the farm, which can be purchased moreover at a purely symbolic price.
In this way, the agritourism wants to empower and strongly involve its guests in the fight against the abuse of plastic use, consequently limiting the use of small bottles in the facility.
2. Separate waste collection. Upon arrival, tourists will be given guidelines in paper form so that they can sort their waste in the correct way.

The La Buona Terra farm has as its main goal the preservation of nature and the wonders that surround us, and it believes that its own guests, by applying these simple but very important rules, can play a fundamental role in the care of our land.

EDUCATIONAL FARM

The La Buona Terra farm encourages and involves its youngest guests in discovering the activities of the farm and getting to know the animals that are raised. In fact, two mornings a week an activity in true "small farmer" style is organized : collecting eggs and fresh vegetables from the garden, taking care of the animals and feeding them, exploring the farm riding a tractor, and much more.
