The farm
The world of the animals
The farm building is the main building on the estate, and contains the structures for the wellbeing of the animals. Here you can find the cow shed, the stable for the donkeys and horses, the areas for processing and administration of the farm’s products, the restaurant and the entertainment spaces.
The livestock is strictly free-roaming, with herds of Podolian cows, a breed with very high quality meat and milk, which you can meet freely grazing in our woods. Visitors will find cattle, poultry, pigs and horses while walking around Donnapaola, all native breeds.
