Theoretical and practical workshops are included for the parents. And to make the experience complete you can participate in horseback riding and hikes up to the incredible mountain peaks around the farm. Depending on your interests there are additional options possible like wild camping in the mountains, campfire, bread baking workshops, and a tour of the region. At the farm, you will meet the people of our international community.
You can choose from several activities:

It has 1 larger and 1 smaller bedroom and a bathroom. From your bedroom, you have incredible views over the farm and the Atlantic forest.
