Where Nature Becomes a School

Educational Farm

For years, Masseria Cappella has opened its doors to schools of all levels, transforming a morning into an unforgettable journey into the rural world.

Choose your Experiential Workshop

Our mission is to offer children an authentic experience of discovery, where fun goes hand in hand with knowledge of zero-kilometre produce and the agricultural heritage of the Itria Valley. We firmly believe that the future lies in awareness of one's roots and respect for the slow cycles of the earth.

Each class or group can personalise their visit by choosing one of our three thematic routes, designed to stimulate manual dexterity and creativity in harmony with the environment.

The Tarallo Workshop: Hands-on Baking in the Heart of the Oven

A journey into the world of grains and the art of baking. Amidst the aroma of freshly ground flour and the warmth of our oven, children discover the history of wheat and learn to shape the traditional Puglian tarallo with their own hands, experiencing the thrill of a recipe that spans centuries.

Creativity in the Woods: A Sensory Collection

An open-air classroom immersed in nature. Through a guided walk in our equipped woodland, children collect leaves, twigs, and flowers to discover the biodiversity of the undergrowth. These natural elements then become the tools for creating small masterpieces of botanical art, combining play and ecological awareness.

Natural Clay: The Magic of Earth Shaped

A return to primordial elements: earth and water. In this workshop, children rediscover the ancient art of working with raw clay. Beneath the shade of the trees, the manipulation of earth becomes a profound sensory experience that stimulates concentration and celebrates the age-old craftsmanship of our land.

The Journey Continues: From

After the laboratory activity, the experience at the Masseria is completed with two key stages for understanding the rural life cycle:

The Cheesemaker's Art

We will move to our artisan dairy to observe the transformation of milk up close. An expert guide will illustrate the production processes and the master cheesemaker will show the magic of spinning, transforming the raw material into the typical cheeses of our tradition.

The Encounter with Animals

The route concludes with the most anticipated moment: the visit to the stables. The children will be able to observe the cows, bulls, donkeys, mules and calves up close, learning the importance of animal care and welfare and developing a bond of deep respect towards the creatures that inhabit our farm.

A Delightful Conclusion: The Picnic at the Masseria

To conclude the morning in style, we offer you the chance to experience a moment of authentic conviviality with a Picnic. The children will be able to savour the genuine flavours of our land through a selection of our finest products: the fragrant Focaccia from our oven, the Mozzarella freshest, freshly produced and the renowned Capocollo of our own production. An authentic way to taste, quite literally, everything they have come to know during their visit.
