The active farm certification from bauernhofurlaub.info

What does “Active Farm” mean?

If you don't want to be lazy on vacation, we recommend the active farms on bauernhofurlaub.info. Some hosts offer special highlights beyond the classic farm holiday , such as an extensive range of activities around the farm. This starts with an optimal location for sports activities and extends to helping out on the farm. Farms with fitness facilities and sports facilities directly on the farm also belong to this category. It is precisely these farms that we want to highlight with our certificate. Our active farms ensure a real active farm holiday by organizing tours that allow help on the farm and are located in a sporty region.

What criteria are necessary to get the certificate?

An active farm must first and foremost see itself as a place for active people . Certification only brings added value if you commit to it. For us, objectively verifiable facts count in order to classify a farm as an active farm. The requirements for this are:

Help on the farm by guests is possible and desired
The farm organizes (either itself or through third parties) activities such as guided tours
There is a good range of sports on and around the farm
Hiking and/or cycling paths lead directly past the farm
The farm optionally offers a discount card for activities in the region

The certification is awarded for 24 months .

What controls are there?

To ensure the accuracy of the information and a high level of quality of the certification, there is a multi-stage verification process. This looks like this:

Confirmation of truthful information by the host in the system.
Control of entries by the editorial team of bauernhofurlaub.info.
If the inspection is passed, the certificate is awarded (online and by post).
Random checks on site by the bauernhofurlaub.info editorial team.
Evaluation of reviews by guests on bauernhofurlaub.info.

If the subsequent inspection by our team comes to the conclusion that the criteria are not met, the certification will be withdrawn immediately. If there are more negative reviews about a farm, an on-site inspection is carried out - this can also be a " mystery guesting " visit.
