1. Orientation.
2. History of the family and farm
3. Nature walks in the woods and cultivated crop fields.
4. Revisit of the farm and re-elaboration of materials (For entire day courses there will be sack lunches or tastings).
5. half hour free time.
6. Second part of activities.
7. re-elaboration and conclusion.

The following subjects can be chosen from:

• Alternative energy sources.
• The farm animals: what they eat, how and where they live.
• Organic farming (wheat and hay).
• Raising Purebred Hogs: the Cinta senese and Grigia breeds for the production of Casentine prosciutto.
• Horses and Humans: How they behave, what they eat, how they communicate with eachother and how they communicate with us.
• Getting to know official herbs and their uses: wild and cultivated.
• Environmental education: recycling, composting, learning how to monitor the air with lichens (eco-friendly indicators).
• Nature through our senses (especially hearing and smelling):a program especially adapted for small children.

The program can be modified according to interests.
