🌟 Farm holidays: A popular family adventure

Farm holidays are becoming increasingly popular, especially among families looking for an affordable yet exciting break . According to a recent analysis of 3,000 farms on our platform www.bauernhofurlaub.info , this trend is continuing unabated.

📊 Insights into the numbers:

The average farm holiday family consists of two adults and two children who spend around five days on the farm and pay an average of 187 euros per day. For a total price of around 1,300 euros for a week, parents and children can enjoy nature, experience country life up close and immerse themselves in the exciting world of animals and agriculture.

Roland Bamberger, founder of bauernhofurlaub.info, emphasizes: "A week on the farm offers families the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure - and at a comparatively attractive price. For the little ones, it is a highlight to experience everyday life on a farm, from feeding the animals to harvesting fresh food." 🌻👨‍🌾

🌈 Popular activities for the whole family:

An analysis of search queries has shown that for many holidaymakers, in addition to a hearty breakfast 🥐🍳, active participation on the farm is the top priority. Popular activities include driving a tractor 🚜, feeding and caring for animals 🐖🐓, collecting chicken eggs and actively helping with the hay, fruit and vegetable harvest. For children, the petting zoo 🐰🐴 and contact with animals as well as swimming fun in the lake, pond or pool 🏊‍♂️ are particularly important.

A notable trend is that many people interested in vacationing are looking for farms near train stations so that they can travel there by train 🚆. " Taking the train to a farm vacation is a clearly recognizable trend ," says Bamberger, who is convinced of the sustainability of this type of vacation. Some farms offer a pick-up and drop-off service to make it easier for guests to get there.
