That Crazy Italian Farm
Tradition, technology, a pinch of madness, and lots of fun!
"That Crazy Italian Farm" follows the life and work of the Gomieros, a Venetian family of farmers and breeders. For generations, the Gomiero family has been managing their farm, run with pride and obstinacy amid adversity and success. But today, the Gomieros are also a symbol of technology and the differences between young and old, boomer farmers and farmers 4.0. They also know how to have fun with the same commitment and ambition as their work in the fields.

To Each Their Own
Meet the Gomieros: a Venetian family at the head of a large farm business engaged in diary production, agriculture, and a complex fermentation plant for the production of electricity from biogas. Each member has a role, but new do-it-yourself work to modernize the stable and constant breakdowns alter the already fragile balance. As if that weren't enough, a new challenge complicates everything: the family is organizing the largest agricultural festival in the world.

“Genesis” on the Farm
Whether it's in a field or in a stable, everything comes from a seed. Davide takes care of the sowing in the fields and Roberto the fecundation of the cows. But a visit from the nutritionist and delays in the construction work on the new stable put Roberto with his back to the wall.

Music, Art, and...
Work on the new stable and repairs to the biogas plant leave room, if only for a moment, for reflections on love, life, and new inspirations from young farmers: a concert in the stable and a little fun to promote the Agrishow.
