Agriturismo with large vegetable and fruit garden, Walnut and hazelnut trees and forrest
Asti
Nestled in the heart of Italy, our home is a vibrant mix of sustainability, tradition, and community. We’re a small family-run project, led by ourselves (Femke and Bart and Kids Luca & Nero, moved from The Netherlands in 2022) along with our cherished animal companions: dogs (Maremanno di abruzze): Vesper - Snow - Birba, cats: Draeck - Bobbi - Cresta - Luna and some rabbits and chickens , making this a warm and welcoming place for anyone passionate about nature and good food.
Our philosophy extends into the kitchen, where we turn our harvest into simple, flavorful meals inspired by local traditions. From 2025, we’ll be hosting dinners for guests, showcasing the freshness of our garden and local products like cheese and sustainably sourced meats. We avoid shortcuts—no pre-made products here—because we believe great food starts with care and quality ingredients.
Our mission is to live and work in harmony with the land. We’ve embraced organic, no-dig gardening methods to cultivate a diverse array of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. In our greenhouse and garden, you'll find everything from heirloom tomatoes and leafy greens to vibrant peppers and sweet strawberries. We focus on biodiversity and grow as much as possible from our own seeds, ensuring a deep connection to the soil and the seasons.
Because the Agriturismo and everything that goes with it requires us to divide our attention, we also ask that of our WWOOF'ers. A certain form of independence is therefore a requirement. We are busy with several projects ourselves, both in the vegetable garden, on the land, renovation, guests and family.
For accommodations, you’ll be staying in one of our cozy apartments, the charming little house or in a tent on the property. The little house offers a rustic retreat with its own unique charm, and the bathroom is located just outside. Both options provide a peaceful space to unwind after a rewarding day working together in the garden or kitchen.
For those who join us, we offer a unique opportunity to learn and share in our lifestyle. Whether it’s tending to the garden, experimenting with traditional recipes, or exploring sustainable practices, you’ll become part of our journey to live closer to nature while celebrating Italian culinary heritage.
If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, share good meals, and immerse yourself in rural Italian life, we’d love to welcome you to Ca' Pasquin!
Life at Agriturismo Ca' Pasquin

Beyond the garden and kitchen, we love dedicating time to building and improving the agriturismo and its surroundings—transforming our dreams into reality, one step at a time. This means that we would ask a certain amount of self
While we’re often busy with projects, we also know the value of kicking back and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Whether it’s unwinding to the sounds of deep house, diving into a thought-provoking podcast, or simply soaking in the beauty of our surroundings, we embrace moments of calm amidst the busyness.

Our location offers plenty to discover. Enjoy scenic hiking trails through rolling hills, refreshing swims in local lakes or rivers, and picturesque cycling routes.

Immersa nel cuore dell'Italia, la nostra casa è un mix vibrante di sostenibilità, tradizione e comunità. Siamo un piccolo progetto a conduzione familiare, guidato da noi stessi (Femke e Bart e i bambini Luca e Nero) insieme ai nostri cari compagni animali: i cani (Maremanno di abruzze): Vesper - Snow - Birba, gatti: Draeck - Bobbi - Cresta - Luna e alcuni conigli e galline, rendendo questo luogo caldo e accogliente per chiunque sia appassionato di natura e di buona cucina.
La nostra filosofia si estende anche alla cucina, dove trasformiamo il nostro raccolto in piatti semplici e saporiti, ispirati alle tradizioni locali. A partire dal 2025, ospiteremo cene per gli ospiti, mettendo in mostra la freschezza del nostro orto e i prodotti locali come i formaggi e le carni di provenienza sostenibile. Evitiamo le scorciatoie - niente prodotti preconfezionati - perché crediamo che l'ottimo cibo inizi con la cura e la qualità degli ingredienti.
La nostra missione è vivere e lavorare in armonia con la terra. Abbiamo adottato metodi di giardinaggio biologici e non scavati per coltivare una vasta gamma di verdure, frutta ed erbe. Nella nostra serra e nel nostro orto troverete di tutto, dai pomodori e dalle verdure a foglia larga ai peperoni vivaci e alle fragole dolci. Puntiamo sulla biodiversità e coltiviamo il più possibile con i nostri semi, garantendo un legame profondo con la terra e le stagioni.
Per quanto riguarda la sistemazione, alloggerete in uno dei nostri accoglienti appartamenti, nell'affascinante casetta o in una tenda all'interno della proprietà. La casetta offre un rifugio rustico dal fascino unico e il bagno si trova all'esterno. Entrambe le opzioni offrono uno spazio tranquillo per rilassarsi dopo una gratificante giornata di lavoro in giardino o in cucina.
A chi si unisce a noi, offriamo un'opportunità unica di imparare e condividere il nostro stile di vita. Che si tratti di curare l'orto, di sperimentare ricette tradizionali o di esplorare pratiche sostenibili, diventerete parte del nostro viaggio per vivere più vicini alla natura, celebrando al contempo il patrimonio culinario italiano.
Se siete pronti a rimboccarvi le maniche, a condividere buoni pasti e a immergervi nella vita rurale italiana, saremo lieti di darvi il benvenuto a Ca' Pasquin!
La vita all'Agriturismo Ca' Pasquin

Oltre all'orto e alla cucina, amiamo dedicare tempo alla costruzione e al miglioramento dell'agriturismo e dei suoi dintorni, trasformando i nostri sogni in realtà, un passo alla volta.
Sebbene siamo spesso impegnati in progetti, conosciamo anche il valore di rilassarci e goderci i frutti del nostro lavoro. Che si tratti di rilassarsi al suono della deep house, di immergersi in un podcast che fa riflettere o semplicemente di immergersi nella bellezza dell'ambiente che ci circonda, accettiamo i momenti di calma in mezzo alla frenesia.

Prachtige plek met mooie mensen: we mochten een week meewerken met Bart en Femke. In de tuin, de boomgaard en de verwerking van oogst waren veel verschillende dingen te doen. Van meloenen, aubergines en tomaten oogsten tot kruiden drogen en de boomgaard onkruid-vrij maken. We verbleven in een caravan, met uitzicht over de streek. Als kers op de taart hebben we regelmatig mogen genieten van de kookkunsten van de hosts! We raden deze parel van harte aan voor toekomstige WWOOFers.

What a fabulous time we had at with you at your farm - Femke, Bart and the children (and the dogs!) - for two weeks, in September. Thank you so much for your generous hospitality and kindness to us; as you know we enjoyed our time with you enormously, and we really do hope to come back to help again. For anyone wondering whether to WWOOF in this area of Italy, we can wholeheartedly recommend this farm: we had a really interesting variety of jobs to do (including picking produce in the polytunnels, weeding/tidying and planting crops, mulching young trees, and composting.) Alongside these jobs, we helped with fascinating food preparation, learning about different types of food preservation whilst chatting away around the long family meal table overlooking a stunning view. We had really comfortable accommodation and felt part of the family, learning about Italian (and Dutch!) culture. There are lovely local walks, on paths and very quiet one-track lanes. The local villages are picturesque and interesting to visit. Good luck to you, Femke and Bart, as you start to plan for the next year of planting veg, the new goats, your new trees and more renovation work! In summary ... we highly recommend!

Thank you so much for this beautiful and thoughtful review — it really means a lot to us. We loved having you here and are so happy to hear that you felt at home and enjoyed both the work and the time we spent together around the table. Those shared meals, chats, and days in the garden are exactly what we hope WWOOFing here can be about.
We also want to say how much we appreciated the knowledge and experience you brought with you. Your 30 years of working in your own vegetable garden really showed, and it was wonderful to exchange ideas and learn from each other. The compost heap we started together is doing very well and has already become an important part of our garden — a lasting reminder of your time here.
On top of that, your ability to take initiative was incredibly valuable. You were hardworking, thoughtful, and always happy to get stuck in, which made working together very easy and enjoyable. You would truly be an asset to any farm, and we can wholeheartedly recommend you to other hosts.
It was a real pleasure working alongside you, and we’re grateful for all the help, care, and positive energy you brought to the farm. September was a lovely time to share, and we truly hope our paths will cross again in the future — you’re always very welcome back.
Thank you again for your kindness, your enthusiasm, and for taking the time to write such a generous recommendation. Wishing you all the best, and hopefully see you again one day in Piemonte 🌱
Ciao, All @ Pasquin

I stayed at Ca' Pasquin for 2 weeks and had an absolutely amazing time. Although I was a bit nervous at first, as I was travelling alone and it was my very first wwoofing experience, I immediately felt welcomed. It was wonderful to feel included and to become part of the daily life there. During my stay I learned a lot about the garden, but also about living more closely with nature and enjoying a slower, more mindful rhythm. The work was varied and rewarding, and there was always a good balance between helping out, sharing meals, and having time to relax.
The food was truly excellent, full of flavour and creativity, and it made every meal something to look forward to. Combined with the warm atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, it made the whole experience very special.
