Hamburg, June 26, 2019 – The best time of the year should be well planned. If you want to travel sustainably and don’t want to vacation with the whole family in distant countries, a visit to the farm could be just the thing. Holidays in the country sound like lots of fresh air, the smell of fresh hay, green meadows and happy cows. “Holidays on a farm can be a valuable experience, especially for children. You can see with your own eyes that milk does not come in a tetra pack and how food is produced. On some farms, they are even allowed to help out and take care of the animals,” says Ina Müller-Arnke, livestock expert at . Instead of booking head over heels, you should think about what you expect from such a trip beforehand. The international animal welfare foundation gives tips on how to find the right farm for the holidays.
In the meantime, many farms throughout Germany offer holiday apartments and accommodation for tourists, often for little money. For all those who are looking for a rural retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life during the holiday season, the offer is large. Whether the North Sea, the Baltic Sea or the Alps – everywhere there are small and large companies that like to accommodate tourists. If you want more than just a breath of country air, you can lend a hand on many farms and turn your holiday into an adventure trip. Guests can take care of animals, drive a tractor and, above all, be very close to nature.
