The didactic farm is a training activity designed for children. Through direct contact with animals, children discover a world different from the one where the rules of life are marked by the cycle of nature, where contact between living beings requires a different language, linked to gesture and instinct , with which animals communicate to the smallest tranquility and safety.
The didactic farm is a pedagogical site useful to all children, but even more so for those who have difficulty in overcoming behavioral, social, affective and emotional barriers. The farm is an opportunity for “language learning”, as a container of words, sounds, noises and actions. Here the words assume different meanings from everyday ones and concepts such as beauty and fatigue, sun and taste, gestures and responses, are closely related and related to each other.
A visit to the farm will accompany every child in the exciting discovery of the natural habits and rhythms of animals, which preserve the simplicity of living and the flow of time in tune with the surrounding environment and nature. Through the animals, it is possible to experience nature’s productivity, providing the necessary livelihood for life, giving children a different perception of the day, positive and serene.
There are many animal species in the farm and that children will know during our didactic farm activities: donkeys, cows, pigsty pigs, poultry, pigeons, peacocks and horses.
There are so many bird species that populate our farmhouse, Brahma giant chickens, Columbia white, Cocincina, the giant geese of Toulouse, the lively and famous white geese of the Capitol, geese geese, pharaohs and turkeys.
