Where is this farm exactly? If it is south of Salerno, your husband's plans might make sense. Whether there will be traffic congestion or not will depend on the time of travel. The road is curvy.
However if your concern is your 10 year old's patience or propensity for car sickness, that is not going to change if instead of using your car, you decide to visit it with a bus. Buses are subject to the same traffic congestion as the cars and they also have to negotiate the same curvy road. if your son gets car sick on curvy roads, that is not going to change on a bus. So the choice for you is not whether you driving there with the car or not, but whether you should go to the Amalfi coast at all. Unless you were planning to see it from a boat. But maybe your son might suffer from sea sickness as well.

Sounds like your son needs to train all the way, esp. if you truly mean car sickness. That's called setting him up...and I'd hate to be sitting next to him on a bus OR a ferry (ugh). Besides, the train all the way to
Sorrento isn't 'windy'. Windy (breezy), but not windy :-)
