Educational Farm

Farming and Agritourism at Casale di Scodosia is an ancient farmland with 26 hectares of land cultivated according to the method of organic agriculture with which we offer to visitors big and small the possibility to discover the traditional life of the farmer, the fields, and the animals of the farm.

The creeks and hedges create a healthy and luxuriant vegetative zone which is an oasis for wildlife. A forest of ash, oak, walnut, hazelnut, and paulownie cover half of the farm’s acreage. An entire hectare is cultivated solely for the support of wild animals. Wheat, corn, soy, and medicinal herbs are cultivated on twelve hectares. Sheep find refuge under the kiwi trees, where geese and chickens nest as well. The donkeys and cows prefer the shade of the paulownie trees, and the rabbits have their pens out in the open air.

We can observe from the safety of a special screened shed the queen bee, her drones, and the worker bees; and even taste the honey directly from the hive. Baby donkeys, cows, rabbits, piglets, chicks, lambs, and goat kids are friendly to pet and hold in your arms. Or, learn the art of weaving on an ancient loom using the traditional tools. The farm also offers studies in greater depth and laboratories on specific topics such as the biodiversity and the safeguard of seeds; the well-being of animals and coop construction also for chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl; biotechnology and the biomass boiler; and all about the insects that populate an organic farm.

As for hospitality, besides the outdoors spaces there are the rustic annexes of the seventeeth-century Villa Correr: the restored old stalls; the grand portico housing all the harvest tools; and the ex-“essicatoi”, buildings where massive tobacco bales were once dried, which have been recently restored with all the modern conveniences necessary for a comfortable stay, including lodging with private bathrooms and a banquet room for meetings and events all decorated with simple and familiar taste.
