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.
Letizia Chandra Maria, classe 2005, studente, aiuta nell'allevamento di 50 galline ovaiole in un pollaio itinerante di costruzione e progettazione dell'inventiva familiare.
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.
Last but not least, Francesco

We had a wonderful stay with Sabina and her family and are very grateful for the experience. During our time on the farm, we had the opportunity to take part in many different activities, including caring for the chickens, working with the bees, learning about honey production, and helping with the strawberry harvest. It was both enjoyable and educational, and we learned so many new things.
What made the experience truly special was Sabina's warm hospitality and the peaceful, welcoming atmosphere she has created. We felt very much at home and will always have fond memories of our time there.
We highly recommend this host to anyone looking for an authentic farm experience, meaningful work, and the chance to learn new skills in a friendly environment. Thank you again for everything, and we wish Sabina all the best with her future projects—especially the natural swimming pool!

I spent an amazing weekend with Sabina and her family ! It was full of outside work, interesting discussions and delicious meals. The surrounding landscapes are beautiful, a perfect mix of wild small fields and forest. I can only recommend you to come there to meet them and discover the area :)

I had a wonderful time at giardino tra i Castagni and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to reconnect with nature and meet amazing people ! The location is stunning, surrounded by greenery with a breathtaking view on the Venetian plain.
Beyond that, it was a human experience I will never forget. I really felt integrated into the family, thanks to them I learned so much about nature and life on the farm and the activities were really diverse. I really appreciated the conversations and cultural exchange I've had with each member of the family. I'm so grateful that I could contribute to their projects and development of their land. Grazie mille !

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!
