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!

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.
