Let’s in this way, the description of our programs for children and young people, like the story of a beautiful fairy tale, which becomes reality.<\/p>

A few kilometers from the city center, close to the Etruscan Roselle, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub hills, which seem to descend from the great Monteleoni, stands, as if lying down, the farm, embraced by centuries-old and monumental olive trees, patriarchs of our Maremma, therefore called, by the owner Giulia Savio, “Corte degli ulivi”, a jewel immersed in the family estate of Marruchetone.<\/p>

Here for years we have been working to welcome the visit of schoolchildren and students, accompanied to discover the magic of the earth, among animals, ancient tools, oil mill and nature, preserved with love, in an articulated program that we present.<\/span><\/p>

The Bio Agriturismo CORTE DEGLI ULIVI<\/strong> offers educational activities, with days on the farm that have the aim of making known and respecting nature, animals, the work of the land and traditions.<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Visit and treasure hunt on the farm<\/h4>

Strolling on the farm for an experience\u00a0 sorrounded by nature in touch with the animals.<\/p>

A walk, accompanied by the environmental guide, to know the environment that surrounds us: scents, sounds of nature, colors and natural elements.<\/p>

Children will be involved in environmental research, following clues and practical tests, up to the “farm treasure”.<\/p>

The leitmotif: ecosystems, the food chain and rural traditions.<\/p>

At the end of the activity, play under the tree and \/ or laboratory for the creation of an eco-product, made with natural and recycled material, or the creation of a booklet with leaves and natural colors to be placed on the pages.<\/p>

Available among the olive trees, an area with wooden tables and games, for children.<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The animals and the good guardian: the Buttero<\/h4>

The “government” of animals is the daily operation that best gives the dimension of the human-animal relationship.<\/p>

The children will be accompanied and helped by the environmental guide to the care of the poultry and to the observation of the “wild” breeding (cattle, horses, donkeys), therefore an opportunity to get to know an important figure in the history of our territory: the Buttero.<\/p>

During the walk, children and young people will be stimulated to recognize plants, edible and aromatic.<\/p>

The experience continues with the reading of a story, under age-old olive trees.<\/p>

Farm stories, of nature, to be listened to while having fun, told by a lively but wise “character”: Brusca, the friend of the children, a “weird peasant” who, playing, welcomes them and guides them to the knowledge of farm life, style of healthy and natural life.<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Approaching the horse<\/h4>

An opportunity not to be missed to get to know this beautiful animal up close.
