Educational Farm
Share
in our our sustainable, organic lifestyle and farm on our customized
educational programs.
Since
2013, at Pulicaro we began leading educational summer programs on our
organic farm thanks to a partnership with Putney Student Travel ?

family-run organization based in Vermont, U.S.A. For 65 years, Putney
has been offering high school students the opportunity and insight to
shape their world through exciting travel, unique cultural
engagement, new friendships, and fun.
We
are honored to describe our program with their words:
“Pulicaro
boasts over 2,000 olive trees, a fruit orchard, free-range chickens
and geese, and acres of gardens filled with heirloom varietals of
tomatoes, onions, garlic, pumpkins, and a dizzying array of other
fruits and vegetables. Students spend each day in small work groups
learning the skills and science behind planting, harvesting, and
animal care and should be prepared to break a sweat as they get heir
hands dirty in pursuit of this hands-on experience.
You
should come to the program with an open mind, and an adventurous
palate — excited
about new experiences,
and prepared not only to eat great food, but take
part
in
the physical and intellectual work necessary
to bring great food to the table. You should be enthusiastic about
participating fully in a schedule packed with creative and physical
activity, and be willing to challenge yourself to make the most of
your time in Italy. Much of the day is filled with structured
activities, but there are some opportunities to
explore
your surroundings and
make your own discoveries.
