Farm stays are an increasingly popular vacation option, especially for families with young children who adore having friendly animals on tap and lots of space and fresh air to run around in. Styled after traditional B&Bs, farm stays offer comfortable lodging, low rates, generous breakfasts (you’ll be able to feast on home-grown produce), and direct access to farm animals, fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs.
Farm stays aren’t a new phenomenon in the Bled area, but have become more and more popular in the recent years. The growing interest in farm stays in Bled comes at a time when more and more people are getting reacquainted with the land, food and farming. What better way to learn about where your food comes from than to work the land yourself? On some farms you can also join in with farm tasks, including collecting eggs in the morning, cheese making, or feeding the animals on the farm.
