History
The site was originally a traditional bakery before it was transformed into an agricultural tourism destination in the 1990s. This conversion under new leadership opened the site to visitors and school groups.
Culture
The site functions as a teaching space where school groups come to learn about farming and animal care. Visitors observe how people work with animals and pass on traditional skills.
Practical
The site offers bedrooms with roughly 74 beds total and private bathrooms for overnight guests. Visitors should wear comfortable clothing since the property is in the countryside and you will spend much time outdoors with the animals.
