Why Fattoria Valle Magica?

Fattoria Valle Magica offers a unique multi sensory environment where children can flourish and explore. The farm is situated in 6 hectares of land on the edge of the Gran Sasso National Park at an altitude of 650m above sea level.. The farm has a long history originally having been the vineyard for the monastery of Carapelle Calvisio and later owned privately before being abandoned in the 1950s.

There is a wealth of flora and fauna evident on and around the farm which provide further opportunity for learning and discovery. Our Farm (Fattoria Valle Magica) specialises in rare and traditional breeds and promotes sustainable and ethical farming drawing on traditional non industrial practices. We are also focused on conservation of rare breeds and wildlife, the use sustainable energy and avoidance of single use plastic. This ideology is at the core of the visits and educational courses we host both at the farm and in the classroom.
