Visit Federica’s camp
Federica’s field is a wonderful agricultural reality located in Nerviano. Every year it opens around September-October to welcome us all to this pumpkin paradise. Yes because here you find thousands of them waiting for you. Ready to be picked, decorated and brought and home with you to decorate your house. But not only that, outdoor aperitifs, dinner under the stars and lots of music enrich the nights at Federica’s camp. A magical place! Try it to believe! It is really taken care of in the smallest detail and the time here at Federica’s is spent under the banner of cheerfulness of lightheartedness. And then spending time outdoors surrounded by a pumpkin orange sea is very evocative.
