Get ready for a farm holiday with the kids: how to enjoy a relaxed stay
A farm holiday or a weekend away on the farm is a wonderful way to truly escape together. Fresh air, animals up close, muddy boots and children fully immersed in outdoor life. Because you spend several days on the farm, good preparation makes all the difference between a relaxed holiday and a stay where you keep missing just one thing. And it’s not only the kids who want to feel comfortable — parents increasingly choose practical yet stylish items during a farm holiday as well. A Wallabag, for example, is ideal to have on hand during a weekend away or a longer farm holiday. It’s the perfect bag for anyone who loves convenience but still wants to look good. With smart bag preparation, you’ll start your farm stay well prepared.
Choose clothes that can get dirty
Farms are beautiful, but rarely clean. Mud, straw, animal feed and puddles are all part of the experience. During a farm holiday, clothes that can handle a bit of wear and tear are not a luxury — they help you relax.
Old trousers or leggings and comfortable clothing work best. Layers are ideal for a weekend on the farm: mornings can be cool, while the afternoon sun may come out later. A water-resistant jacket is especially practical in changeable weather.
Clothing that’s easy to wash is always a smart choice during a stay on the farm.
Snacks and drinks are essential
Farm holidays make everyone hungry. Children run from the barn to the playground and spend the whole day petting animals and playing outside. A spacious bag, such as a diaper bag, filled with snacks helps prevent restless moments.
Great farm-proof snack options include apple slices or grapes, crackers or rice cakes, a bottle of water or juice, and a small treat as a surprise at the end of the day.
Many farms have a small shop or café, but bringing your own supplies adds peace of mind. Especially during a weekend away, it’s nice to always have something on hand that the kids enjoy eating.
Don’t forget the small essentials
Besides clothing and snacks, there are always small items that suddenly become essential during a farm holiday.
A checklist that often helps:
- sunscreen (even in spring)
- bandages for scraped knees
- hand sanitizer or baby wipes
- a plastic bag for dirty clothes
- a cap for sun or wind
With these basics, your farm stay remains comfortable and relaxed.
Make room for souvenir moments
A farm is one big adventure. During a holiday or weekend away, children often collect small keepsakes. A bag of animal feed, a handmade drawing or a small cuddly toy often finds its way home.
A bag that offers enough space without being a large diaper bag is ideal. According to the team behind Wallabag, a good bag is all about practical convenience combined with a friendly look — perfect for a farm holiday with kids.
Let the stay unfold naturally
The best farm holidays are rarely tightly planned. Children want to return to the calves three times or suddenly spend twenty minutes watching a chicken walk around like it owns the place.
That freedom is exactly what makes staying on a farm so special. Mud on shoes is part of it. So are bursts of laughter.
A farm holiday to remember
A holiday or weekend away among animals and meadows is often much more than just a few days off. It’s about being outdoors together, away from screens and busy schedules, with plenty of room for wonder.
With good preparation, a bag full of useful items and space for spontaneous moments, a farm holiday becomes exactly what it should be: relaxed, enjoyable and unforgettable. You can always take a look at our handy packing checklist to make sure you never forget a thing.
