The Definitive Vocabulary Guide: On the Farm in Spanish

La granja, or farm in Spanish, is one of the first topics that Spanish students (both native speakers and second language learners!) learn about. It’s a fun and easy way to practice useful Spanish vocabulary! 

The farm is the perfect topic to learn new vocabulary, because you can learn about a variety of topics, like animals, plants, vegetables, fruits, and even machines! 

¡Empecemos!

Let’s Go to the Farm in Spanish!

Imagine this: You are planning a short vacation for your friends and family. You want everybody to have a great time and what a better place to spend a day off than in a farm? It has something for everyone! So now that you decided your destination, you want to invite everyone along with an exciting message:

¡Vamos a la granja!
Let’s go to the farm!

OR

¡Vamos a la granjita! 
Let’s go to the little farm!

Granjita sounds cuter and more kid-friendly. It means “little farm” and you can use it to refer to an actual little farm, or a place that looks like a farm, but is for kids. In some places, a pet zoo can also be called a granjita. 

So now that you have a plan, you talk with el granjero (the farmer) to make a reservation.

Here is this section vocabulary:

SpanishEnglish
La granjaFarm
La granjitaLittle farm/ a pet zoo
El granjero / La granjeraFarmer

Farm Animals in Spanish

Now that you know how to say farm in Spanish, it’s time to talk about the animals you’ll find there! 

As you may know, farm animals have different sizes and purposes but most of them are animales domesticos (domestic animals) and that means that they are used to living with humans. 

Here is a list with animals that you can find in a farm in Spanish:

Products from the Farm in Spanish

The variety of farms that exist and the products they create are truly inspiring. Some dedicate their focus to organic vegetables and fruits. Others raise animals and craft animal products, while others still dedicate themselves to raising only fish! 

Because of this exciting variety, I’ve divided the following section into different kinds of products that you’ll find on certain farms in Spanish. 

Fruits and Vegetables

These delicious, juicy products depend on a lot of elements, such as the weather, altitude, precipitation, quality of seed, and, of course, quality of care. 

Here are some fruits you can find on the farm in Spanish:
