A "Bauernhof" is a German term for a farm, typically found in rural areas. It is a place where various animals, such as cows, chickens, and pigs, are raised, and crops like wheat and corn are cultivated. Bauernhöfe often include a farmhouse where farmers and their families live and work. These farms play a crucial role in agriculture, providing food and resources for local communities. Many Bauernhöfe also engage in sustainable practices, promoting environmental health. Some farms offer educational tours, allowing visitors to learn about farming techniques and the importance of biodiversity.
