Italy Farm Holidays association holds its second annual fair at Milan between the 18-19th January 2014. It promises to be a fun event, with 300 farms showing off their best home products and their animals, with special programmes for children teaching them the traditional arts of sowing, beekeeping, milking, olive oil grinding, carpentry and bulb planting, in addition to games, dancing and music.
Food naturally will feature prominently, with the chance to do olive oil tastings and learn the proper way to make Ligurian pesto and other timeless recipes.
