Open Art Farms
The Open farms (farms that can be visited), combining agricultural activity with art, offer us a unique experience!
Visitors have the opportunity to enjoy nature and the geographic experience, while creating art in a rural environment.
In Greece, through the “Open Art Farms” network, we map and promote various farms and agritourism units that bring together artistic expression with agricultural activities.
Some features of art farms include:
- Events and art festivals
Organise annual festivals or seasonal events that combine agriculture and art.
These events may include concerts, theatre performances, art exhibitions and agricultural activities, offering visitors a comprehensive experience. - Artistic workshops and seminars
Visiting art farms offer workshops for all ages, where participants can engage in painting, sculpture or even crafts with materials from the farm. - “Farm-Gallery”
Here the artworks are not only in the exhibition space, but also throughout the farm. The combination of crops and art creates a vibrant and dynamic space for expression.

- Tours of farms and art trails
These farms have walking trails that pass through crops, vineyards or olive groves, where visitors can see artworks, such as sculptures and installations, set in the natural landscape. - Collaborative projects
Farmers and artists collaborate on projects that integrate farming practices with artistic expression. For example, artists might create sculptures or installations using materials from the farm, while farmers provide information on sustainable farming methods and land management. - Farm-to-table art events
Similar to farm-to-table culinary experiences, farm-to-table art events showcase locally produced artwork in farm environments. Visitors can browse art exhibitions, attend artist talks and purchase artwork directly from the creators while enjoying the scenic beauty of the farm. - Artisanal farm products
Producers incorporate artistic elements into their products, and create small handmade works of art (e.g. from wax, etc.) and/or design unique packaging for fresh farm produce or handmade products, adding aesthetic value to their offerings. - Artists’ accommodation on the farm
These farms may host artists for a period of residence, offering them the opportunity to live and create on the farm. Artists are inspired by nature and the rural landscape, creating works that are often exhibited on the farm itself. - Supporting local communities
Farmers and artists engage with the local community through joint events such as art festivals held on farms or open workshop days where visitors can meet both farmers and artists, learn about their work and participate in creative activities.
Farms of the Open Farm network that also host artistic activities can be found HERE

Open Art Farm Days – Events 2024

Open Farm Days

Reconnecting with our soil, food and farmers!
Open Farm Days is an annual institution about the open visitable farms and food production units of the open farm network, in all regions of Greece.
Visit a farm

After the successful events of 2023, Open Farm Days 2024 maintains a strong presence throughout June and September.
The farms of the open farm network will open their gates for two weekends: June 1-2 & September 28-29, to invite visitors who will learn rural stories, take a tour of the farm, take part in workshops and taste products grown and produced locally.
We are looking for ways to reconnect the urban population with the farmers in the periphery. The events page is updated regularly to present different activities and initiatives taking place all over Greece, with the aim of bringing people to open farms – even with digital tools.
Open Farm Days – June 2024 will feature both experiential on-farm and online events to keep the public engaged and connected with farmers all year round.
Organize an event

How to Publish Your Event
We’ve streamlined the Open Farm Day experience and event communication, allowing you to focus on sharing your story.
Simply provide your facility or farm details, define the event format and schedule, and set a maximum number of guests (this limit can be adjusted later).
Ideas and Event Descriptions
A successful event requires effectively communicating the story and activities of your facility in a way that is accessible, interactive, and enjoyable for visitors, offering them an experience they will fondly remember. Below is a list of ideas and sample activities you could organize at your farm:
- Guided tour of the farm/facility.
- Introduction to the people, animals, and plants of the farm.
- Presentation of a typical day on the farm.
- Harvesting products from the farm.
- Tasting fresh or processed products produced on-site – a tasting experience.
- Cooking on the farm.
- Educational workshops featuring various activities.
- Vegetable cultivation and care.
- Creating seedbeds, transplanting vegetables and herbs, and using recyclable materials.
- Exploring the soil – earthworms, roots, insects, and microorganisms.
- Composting – demonstrating the compost production process on the farm.
- Setting up a small worm farm.
- Creating a natural trail (with herbs, shrubs, etc.) and exploring the insects it hosts.
- Transplanting native plants and trees, and designing edible agroforestry systems (food forests).
