Where to Take a Farmcore Vacay in 2026

We are often drawn to what we don’t know, and for people living in cities and suburbs, that often means farm life. Thanks to a rising trend in travel, family travelers can trade in city living for a farmcore vacation. This trend allows you and the kids to experience a different way of life and a different perspective on the world.

This unique form of slow travel gives families opportunities they wouldn’t have with other types of vacations, such as taking a cruise or booking a stay at an all-inclusive luxury resort. While farm stays aren’t exactly new, you can expect to see an uptick in opportunities for incredible experiences, like at Hilltop Home at Callisto in New York’s Hudson Valley. Set to open later this year, families will be able to stay at the farm and enjoy meals handcrafted from the fresh produce of the Hudson Valley in between learning all about restorative farming practices, feeding the goats and going for education wildflower walks.

Your farmcore vacation options aren’t limited to the United States. Trafalgar, a company known for guided tours and travel packages at destinations around the world, has made visits to local farms in international destinations possible with its Be My Guest Experiences. These curated experiences are included on different tours and take a break from the regular sites, so you can spend some time on a local farm, such as meeting with a local family on the Highlights of Vietnam tour. During these special excursions, you spend time with a local family, eat with them and share in a personal cultural exchange that is usually very hard to authenticate as a tourist.
