Enjoy a carefree holiday and immerse yourself in nature
Threshing, ploughing and bringing in the hay, followed by making silage and storing it for the upcoming winter. These are only some of the many tasks in the fields. That’s what farmers do for a living.
At home, there’s work in the barn to be done: mucking out, milking, feeding and repairing fences. The farmer’s wife takes care of the livestock, plants vegetables in beds and harvests apples. You can actively help and support her on the farm.
And the best thing is: after the work has been done, you’ll get a reward for your effort and hard work! Taste and enjoy the fantastic products from the farm. The hosts share their table with you and your family. Together, you savour everything that Upper Austria’s nature has to offer!
A day on the farm is probably entirely different to what you’re used to from home. Roll up your sleeves, set to work and pitch right in. Spend the whole day outdoors enjoying the fresh air. Pal up with the animals.
Savour the delicious flavour of the dishes from the farmer’s kitchen at dinner. Be happy. Summer holidays on the farm in Upper Austria can be so nice. How about spending this year’s holiday on a traditional Upper Austrian farm?
Usually, it’s hard to get our kids out of bed in the morning. But here, on the farm, they wake up at dawn and sneak out of the bedroom without making a sound. Independently! They don’t want to miss out on helping in the barn.
