Care Farms: Dutch Roots and Polish Experiences

Abstract

The aim of this article is to describe the development opportunities for care farms and identify differences in the management of these facilities in the Netherlands and Poland, using survey data collected in 2024. The survey involved 90 care farm owners, including 67 from the Netherlands and 23 from Poland. It was found that Dutch service providers prioritized increasing the promotion of their tourism facilities, while their Polish counterparts preferred a strategy of diversifying their tourism offerings. The results of the χ² independence test showed that statistically significant differences in the structure of responses between Dutch and Polish respondents existed only for selected levels of the response variables.
