Farm experiences
Life on the farm
Every day of your stay includes one of these experiences. Choose the ones your family likes the most.
Option 1
Milking the animals
Start the day with our family in the stable. Help milk the cows, sheep and goats, and see where milk and cheese really come from.
A real farm morning, the way it has always been done here.
Option 2
Seasonal harvest
Pick what the season brings on the farm, depending on the month you visit.
Fresh from the land, straight to the table.
Option 3
Cooking workshop
Cook traditional Albanian dishes with our family, then sit down together and eat what you made.
A fun way for children and adults to learn real home cooking.
Option 4
Apitherapy at the farm
Sit in our wooden bee house, surrounded by the hives, and breathe the warm air from the beehives through a special mask. The air carries the scent of propolis, beeswax, honey and pollen.
A calm, natural experience in the middle of the national park.
Option 5
Relaxing horse ride
A gentle ride at walking pace with Sara or one of our riders. They choose calm horses and lead them by hand for the little ones.
A first taste of riding in the national park, with no experience needed.
From our farm
Straight to your table
At our farm restaurant, everything we serve is made with what we raise and grow here, not only our traditional Albanian dishes.
Our animals graze outdoors without hormones, and our fruit and vegetables are pesticide-free, watered by the spring that flows beneath our land.
Our milk and dairy products are unpasteurised, and our honey goes straight from our hives to your spoon.
Real food, the way it should be.

This place has stolen my heart… It is paradise for children, and the same goes for the horse lovers.
Our experience at Farma Sotira was honestly one of the most beautiful and authentic experiences we had in Albania.
The horses are treated incredibly well. I’ve been to 50 countries and am so impressed by their love for their animals and home.
