The philosophy of Monia Gabutti, owner of the educational farm is simple, but not at all trivial, and stems from a question:
How is it possible, in a land of farmsteads and countryside, that it is easier for a child to see a zebra or a lion than to interact with a free-range chicken or piglet in a farmyard?
Cascina Gabutti is just that: a home open to children and to all those who wish to spend a few hours immersed in one of the most renowned areas of the Langhe, among the vineyards from which Barolo is born, in contact with domestic animals, the countryside and agri-food products.
Monia does not consider the farm exclusively a job, but a way of life, a trip during which she is accompanied by her husband Valter, an expert connoisseur of the agricultural world, and by all the animals who inhabit the farmstead: Zac the dog, the very sweet donkeys, the piglets, and then ducks, geese, guinea fowl, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, parakeets and a family of mischievous peacocks.
Cascina Gabutti is also a Campagna Amica point, which guarantees the sale of strictly agricultural and Italian products and is part of the Educational Farms of the Piedmont Region.
