Ferma VIP, also known as Ferma VIP Albania, is an Albanian celebrity reality television and game show, based on the Swedish reality competition franchise The Farm, originally created by Strix in 2001. It premiered on March 22, 2024 and is broadcast on Vizion Plus. The programme was initially presented by Fjoralba Ponari for the first season. Ponari declined to return as presenter on the second season, and the role was taken up by Luana Vjollca. From the third season onwards, the programme has been presented by Arbana Osmani, replacing Vjollca.
The live shows or live eviction shows were seen every Monday and Friday. Also in the same channel, from Monday to Friday on afternoon was seen the daily summary, for one hour.

The viewers can watch for the whole season live from the farm in two live pay-per-view channels, with the name Ferma VIP 1 and Ferma VIP 2, which are available on Albanian TV platform Tring.
Format Each season, a group of 16 to 19 celebrities, such as actors, singers, models, digital influencers, or media personalities, known as Farmers, living together on a farm, isolated from the outside world for three months. The contestants must adapt to traditional farm life as it was 100 years ago and need to prove abilities to work in the country: wake up very early, take care of the cows, wash the horses, collect eggs from chickens, harvest greens, and more. The farm overseer, known as the "Agai," assigns challenges which the participants must complete to avoid penalties or elimination. Each week one contestant is selected as the Farmer of the Week, by the contestant evicted in the previous week. Each week, one of the farmers is evicted by a public vote, with the last farmer remaining winning a cash prize of €100,000. The show airs daily and each season lasts about three months.
