Do you yearn to collect
eggs for breakfast or hitch a ride on a tractor? Swim for a dip in the river or
pick fresh tomatoes for your grandmom's home-made lunch? If your answer is yes
then a farm holiday is a great idea for your entire family.Here are some handy
pointers to get started...
Make a pre-planned farm stay booking
To teach and learn
(yourself too) about the food cycle right from where and how it is grown to how
it reaped is a fascinating journey. Farm Holidays are a popular way to
vacation. Thus, summer season also has many enthusiasts thronging to these
spots. You must make a plan to pre-book and announce your travel dates of
arrival and departure with the farm owner. Select your stay according to your
comfort levels to have most fun.
The internet is buzzing with volunteer farm spots
You can look for farms that
are open to volunteers online and choose the location that is suitable for your
family to travel to. The choices are varied, you could help bathe elephants,
grow crops or feed the poultry . Your kids will just love milking the cow (get
them to pet the cow first and be at ease). Watering the crops is also fun for
beginners.Choose your top options wisely. Be a farmer for a day Once food and
accommodation is sorted for your holiday, gear up to becoming a farmer. Most
farms rent out boots and shovel.Travel light and make the most of the clear air
around the farm. Lucky ones also get to carry back their fruits of labour and
it feels very rewarding.
