Educational farm in Umbria

Back to the exploration

At this educational farm in Umbria, you will learn about the animals and the origins of many products produced in our region

The experience we offer takes place within a certified educational farm in Umbria that has been engaged in high-quality organic agricultural practices for many years, aimed at the enhancement and safeguarding of the surrounding area thanks to absolutely innovative learning methods. The farming complex, immersed in the lush green hills between Gubbio and Perugia, welcomes children of all ages with their families. You can spend a day outdoors with your family enjoying the traditions and experiential teaching and learning with ease, thanks to the operators at this highly qualified educational farm.

You will start with a small tour to discover the world of farm animals: you will see how they live in symbiosis with each other and what they eat, obviously supervised by the operator. The workshops you can participate in vary according to the season but they all have a basic common denominator: the dough preparation and baking of “tigelle”, the small traditional Umbrian flatbreads that are perfect for snacking on the farm. In the summer, for example, you can learn how to pick tomatoes from the garden and make tomato sauce or pick seasonal fruit to make excellent jams. This is, in fact, one of the main characteristics of this farm: adapting the workshops developed by the educational operators to the relevant season so as to always be in a position to offer a fresh and genuine product.
