Certified GreenCare farm for animal education

Since 2013 we are a certified Green Care farm. Green Care generally stands for activities and interactions between humans, animals and nature. To achieve this status, additional educational qualifications had to be completed and criteria met. These include:

  • Positive completion of a course of the LFI (Rural Development Institute)
  • Correct keeping of farm animals according to organic standards
  • Continuously checked health of the animals
  • Obtaining the safety badge of the Social Insurance Institution of the farmers
  • Selected, trained and tested farm animals

Lasting moments of happiness

Animal education focuses on the promotion of spiritual, mental and physical health and well-being, in harmony with education and upbringing. Children experience moments of happiness with friendly, trained animals during various exercises. Animal partners are reliable and do not judge children; they enjoy honest, loving contact and give young visitors peace of mind as well as basic trust, so that challenges of any kind – whether physical, mental or spiritual – can be mastered more easily.
