  Farm stays:

  Farmers and their families open their homes to visitors and share with them the many facets of life on the farm, thus bringing profitable tourism to the area and a great vacation to the traveler!

  Both working and non-working farms provide accommodations for travelers, anything from a room in the main farmhouse to a cabin located on the land. On working farms, visitors are often invited to participate in the daily chores, and many rejoice in the opportunity to get in touch with nature-literally. Tasks can include the traditional milking of cows, feeding of hens, and gathering of hay.

  Farm stay is very popular in UK and Ireland, where you can find an extensive directory of farms to stay. Scandinavia is an interesting option for their amazing landscapes while Germany, Austria and Switzerland offer recreational activities such as horseback riding and skiing. There are different types of farms; you can go to a sheep or pig farm, a vineyard or an ecological farm (very popular in Germany) where you will have the opportunity of learning an alternative land management.
