Animal farm visit and cheese making workshop at the foot of Vértes mountain

Curious to know what life is like on a farm? Or do you have children in the family who would like to see what it was like for their parents or grandparents growing up in the countryside and would like to get up close and personal with farm animals? Are you interested in how fresh milk is made into home-made cheese? Then this is the trip for you!

Not far from Mór, 1 hour and 15 minutes from Budapest, in the foothills of the Vértes Mountains, surrounded by lush forests and pastures, lies a family farm recently established by a single mother who meets the challenges of rural life with incredible willpower and dedication. This farm, bustling with animals, is home to our full-day program, where adults and children alike can spend a meaningful and exciting time with us, full of sights, experiences and home-cooked food.

The farm is still under construction, but they already welcome groups visiting them with endless love, and these visits are a huge help to the development of the farm.

The program starts with a cheese-making session, where each participant can prepare a fresh, cow’s milk cheese seasoned to their own taste and learn about the cheese-making process. The finished cheeses, about 20 dkg each, will be pressed and packaged at the end of the day for everyone to take home.

Our hosts will show us around the farm, introduce us to the animals living on the farm, tell us about their care and keeping. The farm animals are used to children and adults, to being touched and petted, we can go into the pens and even hold the little ones in our hands and pet them, not just admire them from a distance. They are also very happy when visitors offer them carrots and apples.

They live on the farm:

  • horses
  • ponies
  • donkeys
  • goats
  • sheep
  • dwarf cows and their calves
  • pygmy kangaroos
  • rabbits
  • fowl (quails, guinea fowl, hens, ducks, mute ducks…)

For lunch, you can enjoy a home-style meal with homemade syrups and soda. A real ” Mom’s cooking ” lunch (rich goulash soup, homemade bread, homemade cottage cheese pasta, homemade apple pie) is prepared for the guests.

After lunch, we can put our acquired and previous knowledge to the test during a farm quiz.

After the quiz, there’s a chance to meet the residents again, enjoy the afternoon lights and take a photo with your favourite ones as a souvenir. Meanwhile, the braver ones can try themselves at horse riding (there’s a nominal extra charge).

In the afternoon, the cheeses made in the morning will be brought out again, as they have been sufficiently pressed by now, and individually wrapped and handed over to their makers.

While saying goodbye, you have the opportunity to get acquainted with the farm’s small-scale producers’ offer and fill your basket with healthy delicacies (besides cheeses, you can also find home-made caramels, yoghurts, cheese spreads, vegetable spreads, home-made syrups, delicious smoked home-made goat sausages, fresh and pickled quail eggs…).

We can provide transfer upon request.

The program can be organized for 6-24 participants and it can be adapted to the needs of the group.
