Piccola fattoria
Biella
La mia piccola azienda è situata ai piedi delle Alpi biellesi, a un'altitudine di 600 metri nella valle Sessera. E' un luogo ideale per le persone che amano la pace e la tranquillità e le passeggiate nei boschi. La mia attività è principalmente con gli animali, ci sono 4 vacche Jersey, vitelli, capre, cani, gatti e galline. Faccio formaggi che vendo nei mercati locali. Ho anche un piccolo agriturismo. Ogni giorno ci dobbiamo occupare degli animali, della casa e della cucina poi, a secondo della stagione, ci sono l'erba da tagliare, la fienagione, l'orto. La mia non e' una scelta lavorativa ma un percorso di fede, vivo cercando di rispettare le leggi cosmiche che regolano i rapporti tra l'uomo, gli animali, le piante, il mondo visibile e invisibile. Sono vegetariana ed offro una sistemazione in camera privata con bagno in comune. Parlo inglese, francese e spagnolo. Gay friendly. Niente alcolici. No WI FI. Amma è la mia guida ma sei il benvenuto qualunque sia il tuo credo.

My small farm is situated in the foothills of the Alps in Biella at an altitude of 600m in the Sessera valley. It is an ideal place for people who love peace and quiet and walking in the woods. Activities here are mainly with the animals, we have 4 Jersey cows, calves, goats, dogs, cats and chickens. We make cheese which we sell in the local markets. I also have a small agritourism. Every day we care for the animals, the house and cooking and then depending on the season there is also grass cutting, hay making, caring for the vegetable garden….. I do not consider this as work but more as a choice of faith, we try to live with respect for the cosmos which builds the rapport between man, animals, vegetation and the visible and invisible worlds. I am vegetarian and offer accommodation in a room with shared bathroom. I speak English, French and Spanish. Gay friendly. Amma is my guide, but you are welcome whatever your faith.

Le mie due settimane da Anna sono state fantastiche e posso solo consigliare caldamente un soggiorno da lei. Anna ha una visione del mondo da cui si può solo imparare. La vita e il lavoro con lei sono arricchenti e il suo affettuoso rapporto con gli animali nella bella natura è esemplare e gratificante. Posso solo dire grazie per il tempo trascorso insieme!

I had a wonderful and very inspiring time with Anna and her animals at her farm
I was my first WWOOF experience and I am absolutely delighted with it.
Anna is a very warm, kind-hearted and welcoming person.
We had very interesting and enriching conversation and it was great exchanging thoughts and ideas with Anna.
Working together with the animals was very good and especially Anna‘s respectful and mindful approach to the animals and the nature impressed me deeply and had left a lasting impact on me.
I learned a lot- not only about the practical aspects of keeping animals but also about the right attitude to adopt toward them.
In the morning, we mucked out the staples and assisted Anna with feeding the animals.
Despite the work, there is plenty of time to enjoy this wonderful place, its animals and the surrounding nature.
Anna offers helpful tips for every task, while also giving you the freedom to grow and develop your skills in various areas.
You also have enough time-both during and between tasks-to learn a lot about yourself.
It was fantastic that Anna spoke English with me, furthermore the conversation I had with the other WWOOF in italian helped me pick up a little Bit of the Language.
The living area for the WWOOF‘s are very comfortable, featuaring privat bedrooms and a very nice shared bathroom and a living area.
A huge thank you to Anna- I would always come back !!

I had a great experience there! The farm is full of life, you learn how to manage a farm with cows and goats, also making local cheese. Anna is very helpful and always available to answer questions. She is an easy going person and makes you feel at home
I got to see the farm routine, it is a good start for who is not experienced and want to discover this world, because you learn in a calm environment and not a fast moving or demanding one, so you get to digest the information and the dynamic without being under stress
I would recommend to stay at least 10 days since the first couple of days you need first to adapt then the learning curve will be sharp
Anna is a great host! Thank you so much again for this experience

My time with Anna and her animals was very inspiring.
In the mornings, we spent two hours in the barn, where we WWOOFers mainly mucked out the stalls. This didn't take too long, so we had plenty of time to enjoy the animals' presence and the beautiful view while Anna milked the cow. Afterward, the goats were allowed to roam freely. They have GPS trackers and come back in time for the afternoon milking. We usually spent the time until then gathering and splitting firewood. We ate and prepared our meals together.
Anna has a lot of experience with WWOOFers, so you can trust her to make the right decisions about which jobs you can and can't do as a WWOOFer. Of course, I couldn't milk cows or make cheese myself in just two weeks.
Anna is very generous and caring, and thanks to the many contemplative moments, I learned a lot about myself. It was also lovely that Anna spoke Italian with me, and I was able to listen to her conversations with friends and neighbors.
The accommodation is very comfortable, with a private bedroom in a separate living area.
Thank you so much for everything, Anna!
PS: There is no shop or bus in the village. If you arrive by train/bus, there is a Carrefour for shopping.

I had an amazing first wwoof experience at Annas! She is a very warm welcoming person that will share not only her house and food but also her experiences with you. Anna has an admirable passion and connection to her animals. The surrounding of the farm is very peaceful and calming. Even though there was plenty of funny moments we had together. I loved the friendly animals and really enjoyed working with them in our little team. Thank you and see you rather sooner than later <333

La mia settimana a casa di Anna è stata all'insegna della semplicità.
Mattino e pomeriggio tardi in stalla a dare una mano ad Anna con i suoi bellissimi animali 🐐.
Pasti genuini e condivisi (ottimo formaggino di Capra.)
Nel pomeriggio c'era il momento del taglio dell'erba (bello faticoso), ma ripagato dal tragitto in trattore molto divertente.
La sera è un ottimo momento poter rilassarsi e riflettere un po' sulla propria vita (visto che non prende internet).
È stata una bella esperienza che sicuramente rifarei🥰
