Sabina e Andrea, con Francesco, classe 2002, e Letizia, classe 2005, vivono a Monte di Malo, in provincia di Vicenza in una piccola proprietà terriera di tre ettari caratterizzata dalla presenza di boschi, prati e colture collinari tradizionali.
In un luogo poco antropizzato, dove la natura ha un forte carattere predominante, hanno avviato alcune attività agricole e di allevamento nel rispetto delle condizioni ottimali che l'ambiente richiede.
"un giardino tra i castagni" è il nome dell'azienda a conduzione familiare che vuol significare una azione delicata e portatrice di bellezza, in un luogo che ha una lunga storia di convivenza con l'uomo.
I “maronari” presenti nella proprietà, come in tutto il comune, sono ultracentenari e testimoniano la presenza di cultura agricola fin dal tempo della colonizzazione cimbra del nord est italiano.
Nella fattoria si pratica agricoltura naturale in ergonomia delle risorse umane e dei materiali eco e biologici.
Coltiviamo ortaggi, curiamo uliveto e frutteto.
Pratichiamo l’apicoltura tradizionale con apiari Dadant. Andrea se ne prende cura.

Abbiamo 3 gatti certosini e un gatto nero, inoltre 2 cani pastori del lagorai.
Parliamo le lingue italiana, inglese e francese
Ospitiamo attività culturali e di spettacolo.
La proprietà si trova ad una distanza modesta dai maggiori centri abitati della pianura ed è facilmente raggiungibile .
L'accoglienza è su monolocale indipendente di 45mq con utilizzo di lavanderia condivisa. Da tenere e lasciare pulito.
Durante l'estate è disponibile anche un'area su fienile restaurato.
I lavori che si svolgono durante l'anno sono lo sfalcio dei prati e la formazione di covoni.

Sabina and Andrea, with Francesco Hari Andrea, 2002, and Letizia,2005, live in Monte di Malo, in the province of Vicenza, in a small three-hectare property characterised by the presence of woods, meadows and traditional hillside crops.
In a minimally man-made place,where nature has a strong predominant character, he has started some farming and breeding activities respecting the optimal conditions that the environment presents. The 'maronari' on the property, as in the entire Italian municipality, are more than a hundred years old and bear witness to the presence of farming culture since the time of the Cimbrian colonisation of north-eastern Italy. On the farm, we practise natural farming with eco and organic materials. We grow vegetables, tend olive groves and orchards. We practise traditional beekeeping with Dadant apiaries.
Letizia Chandra Maria, born in 2005, student, helps to raise around 50 laying hens in a travelling henhouse of family inventiveness.
We have three Carthusian cats and two Lagorai shepherd dogs. We host cultural and entertainment activities.
Accommodation is on an independent 45sqm studio apartment and use of shared laundry facilities. Keep and leave clean.During the summer, an area in a restored barn is also available.
The wwoofers can help with mowing the lawns and forming sheaves, collecting wood from the woods, managing the hens, preparing the soil for crops, sowing, harvesting and processing nature's produce, gardening and in the kitchen.
Care wood.
Clean river.

Sabine and her family were so welcoming to us, and really made us feel at home in this woofing experience. The work was super fun and interesting, and we learnt a lot about so many different aspects of the farm and their different contributions.
The surrounding area we explored was beautiful and the food we had was delicious.
The time we spent with their family was so wonderful and personal, and is something we will truly miss, we wish we had spent more time with them if anything :)

Die Fattoria liegt wirklich in einer wunderschönen Landschaft und war für mich perfekt, um abzuschalten und mit der Natur eins zu sein. Sabina, ihre Familie und die Tiere auf 2 und 4 Beinen haben meine erste Erfahrung als Wooferin zu etwas ganz besonderem gemacht, ich habe mich vom ersten Moment wie zuhause gefühlt. Ich lernte sehr viel über Permakultur, Pflanzen, Bienen, Hunde, Hühner, Menschen & das Leben und konnte meine italienisch Sprachkenntnisse vertiefen. Die Arbeit am Hof hat mir sehr viel Freude bereitet, weil man zum einen sehr viel lernt und zum anderen sehr frei arbeiten kann.
Das gemeinsame Essen war immer sehr gut, am letzten Abend haben wir sogar gemeinsam gegrillt und ein paar Maroni von den Spaziergängen aus dem Wald gebrannt.
Ich kann nur eines sagen: Vielen Dank für diese tolle und einzigartige Zeit & es gibt bestimmt ein Wiedersehen!

La mia prima esperienza di Wwoofing è stata a dir poco splendida. Sabina e la sua famiglia sono state accoglienti e molto disponibili, la sistemazione dove ho dormito era perfetta e con un sacco di comfort. Abbiamo svolto molti lavori diversi e interessanti che mi hanno insegnato un sacco di cose utili sull'amministrazione della terra e degli animali. Sabina inoltre è una pensatrice di spessore e mi fa sempre molto piacere scambiarci idee e visioni del mondo. Grazie mille ancora Sabi :)

Sabina and her family were great hosts. They welcomed us warmly and made us feel like part of their everyday life. We really appreciated having our own apartment for comfort, yet we often still preferred spending time in their home, enjoying their company. Sabina gave us a few tasks but encouraged us to approach them with our own creativity, which we really valued. We shared long, meaningful conversations over lunch and dinner, and we especially enjoyed chatting with their daughter Letizia about German music. Together with the family we went to a pizzeria, explored their hometown, and even visited one of their relatives. The whole experience felt natural and comfortable.

This was our first experience of wwoofing and we are both extreamily greatful it was with Sabina and her family. they all welcomed us warmly and made us feel at home. Sharing a week with them, learning about the farm and the eco-system it lives in, sharing lunches and dinners, making pasta and gnocchi and travelling to neighbouring towns - simply experiencing their way of life, was such a warm experience that we will remember with a smile. Sabina said they are a crazy family - from the best kind! thank you all for this experience and thank you Sabina for being so generous, kind and passionate about your way of living. Warm wishes to all! ❤️

This was my first WWOOFing experience and I'm glad it was with Sabina and her family. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, they took care of me like I was a dear friend. My 2 weeks at the farm was an eye-opening, warm, insightful, special and unforgettable experience! Not only was I able to gain a lot of farming knowledge, but I also learnt a lot about Italian culture, food, language and more :) Speaking to Sabina, Letizia, Andrea, Simone and Francesco, I was inspired in many subtle ways through the sharings of their interests, attitudes and way of life. I am deeply grateful to this family for everything and for also taking me out when possible to explore and experience something new. I had a lovely time exploring the neighbouring towns, going to the Saturday market, trying Sicilian food (I will definitely visit Sicily one day), eating gelato with Leti and watching a film outdoors for the first time. Special thanks to Leti and Simone for always translating Italian for me, despite how tiring it could get. The tasks were simple to follow, the family was happy to connect and the room I stayed in was pleasant. I am deeply grateful for all the kindness and patience I've received, along with all the hearty meals and moments we've shared together. Thank you Sabina for this lovely opportunity to work with you, and I hope that your energy stays as bright and sunny always! Thanks to you and your family, I smile when I think of Italy ☘️ and to Leti, see you again 🕺
