Review of Podere Spedalone’s Pienza farm lunch, sheep and chicken visit, local cheeses, Tuscan pasta, views, price, and practical tips.

Review Pattaya Sheep Farm, a $6.50 family outing with sheep feeding, bird shows, rides, games, photo spots, and optional hotel transfers.
“Nice, simple outing for adults and children alike. The bird show was the highlight of the trip. It was fun and interactive, with children getting a chance to hold the beautiful birds. The rabbit petting area was another nice touch. The one negative is the lack of food options within the premises, which is a big let down. Definitely recommended!!”
