On a farm holiday in South Tyrol many children have a fixed appointment at 5 p.m. sharp. They punctually slip into their rubber boots and run straight from the apartments or rooms to the barn. The farmer will be waiting there to welcome the young farmers with small pitchforks. Then the daily work in the barn is on the agenda. The little guests help diligently and feed the cows with fresh hay. In the milking parlour, the children can watch with wide eyes and see where the milk comes from. However, they usually prefer to take care of the calves, which everyone wants pet and care for. The farmer is always there to support and answer questions from curious children.

There are also many other animals on the farm in South Tyrol that have to be taken care of when working in the barns. Goats, sheep and rabbits wait impatiently to be fed and look forward to being lovingly petted. With an extra helping of motivation, the children head over for their daily glimpse into the chicken coop. With a bit of luck, a warm egg from their favourite chicken will be waiting there. During the daily visits to the barns, the little guests not only learn how to take care of animals properly, but they also make furry friends along the way.
