„Good Farm“ was created by two people who exchanged a comfortable life in a big city for a village – a love of nature, an appreciation of freedom and peace, and a desire to experience what is real and natural. Having gone through many tests of all possible natural elements, having gained experience, we created a farm where you can enjoy all the benefits of nature. We would like to share them with others.
In the lap of nature program, intended for children's groups, families with children or just adults. These are two different educational-teaching-entertaining PROGRAMS, lasting from 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the groups of participants. The main goal of the program is to remind you of how important it is to turn to what is real and natural, to feel and appreciate the benefits, power and significance of the goods given by nature for human physical and spiritual health, to remind you that it is possible to get to know nature not only with the help of technology, but also live - by experiencing the breath of nature through the path of a plant – from a small bud to a fruit or roots, through colors, smells, touch, sounds.
