Camping on a farm in North Rhine-Westphalia

For many, experiencing country life up close is a wonderful break from city life. Camping on a farm in North Rhine-Westphalia offers you exactly this opportunity: here you can enjoy the fresh air, surrounded by green meadows and curious animals. When camping on a farm, you not only experience the tranquillity of the surroundings, but also immerse yourself in the everyday life of the farmers. Many farms offer you an insight into everyday life on the farm - from feeding the animals and harvesting fruit and vegetables to making your own products such as cheese or honey. Children can experience first-hand where their food comes from and get to know animals such as ponies, goats and chickens better. For adults, farm camping offers the opportunity to switch off and explore nature with walks or bike tours through picturesque NRW. Whether in a tent, camper van or tiny house - camping on a farm is a relaxed and natural way to experience country life and get to know nature and how to interact with it better.

A vacation on a farm is a real adventure for children and offers numerous exciting activities that are hard to experience anywhere else. Here, kids can play in nature and explore it independently. Whether it's pony rides, tractor rides or feeding cows, goats and chickens - there's always something going on on the farm, and the animals in particular are often a real highlight for young guests. There are often also petting enclosures where you can get to know rabbits and guinea pigs. Many farms also offer workshops where children can learn how to make butter or cheese or bake bread together. Joint harvest activities such as picking apples or collecting eggs are also often part of the program and are great fun for children.

On a farm vacation, children learn a lot about nature, agriculture and the origin of their food. They learn that milk doesn't just come from the supermarket, but that cows have to be milked for it, and that vegetables such as potatoes or carrots first have to be planted and harvested before they can be made into a delicious soup. Children develop an awareness of sustainable nutrition and the respectful treatment of animals and nature. Helping out on the farm also teaches them responsibility and develops their motor skills when they are actively involved in feeding, milking or sowing. This makes a farm vacation not only an exciting experience, but also a valuable learning experience.

A visit to the farm store is a real highlight for many camping holidaymakers. Here you will find regional specialties that are often produced directly on the farm or sourced from neighboring farmers. Freshly picked fruit and vegetables, handmade jams, honey from our own apiary and eggs from free-range chickens are among the typical products that reflect the taste of the region and make great souvenirs from your vacation. Homemade cheeses and sausages, fresh bread, juices and ciders are also among the hallmarks of many farm stores. Shopping in a farm store is not only an opportunity to buy high-quality and often organically grown food, but also a valuable experience: you can talk directly to the producers, ask questions about production and often even watch how the products are made. It is particularly exciting for children to discover the origins of their food and take away a sense of sustainability and regionality. You can use the ingredients you buy straight afterwards in the camper kitchen and test whether home-made food really does taste better in the fresh air than at home... ;)
