Agriculture
Perhaps the jewel in the crown for this tour, we have arranged a day trip to a Hungarian Horse Show just outside Budapest. The Puszta flatlands are fascinating agriculturally as well as culturally for the Hungarians. We will visit a typical agricultural town and take a carriage ride through the great plains.
We hope to see some local species such as the Mangalica pig being traditionally farmed as well as the spectacular horse show put on especially for Bay Farm Tours.
Another fascinating visit we have arranged is a Biogas plant and Bison Ranch whilst in Germany, this is sure to be a tour highlight. This area is also renown for market gardening and we will include this in your tour. We also visit a family run orchard with a distillery and a vineyard in the Schwabisch Hall region.
