What is agritourism

Agrotourism is also known as rural tourism. It is part of ‘widened agriculture’ where agriculture is not only focused on food production but, as in this case, also on tourists who like a weekend or week in the countryside.

Agritourism in the Netherlands

Agrotourism is a real trend: many people love visiting the countryside. To relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. But, also to learn a bit more about the countryside and farm life. More and more (farming) businesses are therefore making a foray into the recreational sector. Fun for the farmers themselves and fun for the curious tourist. There are farms that rent out a room, operate a campsite or offer a fun day activity. Like canoeing, farmers’ golf, a walk with an alpaca or renting a horse, for instance.

Agritourism at FarmCamps

FarmCamps’ farms also offer a form of agritourism. Because, at FarmCamps, you stay on a real farm. And in a luxury glamping tent, of course. Moreover, camping on a farm is unique, because you really get the chance to taste and learn about Dutch farm life. Our farmers really enjoy teaching you the tricks of the trade, pampering you and regaling you with facts and figures about farm life. Helping the farmer feed the animals, tasting fresh milk, making butter and jam, making yoghurt. After a week on the farm, you will know a lot more about farm life.

Every farm holiday is different

The nice thing is that you will have a completely different experience on each farm, because every farm is different. You can choose from these different types of farms: an arable farm, an alpaca farm, an organic farm, a cheese farm, a dairy farm, a horse farm, a sheep farm, a play and learning farm, a cattle farm.
