For school children

For many years we have been developing and organising special programs for children in co-operation with local primary schools and kindergardens, which is how are concept "The Didactic Farm" evolved.

At the beginning of each school year, teachers interested in our concept get together and join us for a meeting where we introduce our programme. We are all then able to discuss various ideas and promote our concept further.

The didactic activities take place either outdoors or in separate allocated rooms on the farm and are conducted by qualified personnel. The activities are carried out using various teaching and learning materials and in an enjoyable and playful way to help children learn about all the mysteries and secrets of Mother Nature.

Children are encouraged to actively take part throughout the various workshops.

The following workshops are available:

• Converting grapes to wine
• Converting olives to olive oil
• Traditional bread making
• The organic vegetable garden
• The culture of silk worms
• Typical Tuscan farm animals

All courses and workshops are requested to be reserved in advance and can be arranged as ½ day, full day courses or spread over several days with accommodation and board.
