The farm "A Casa Di Giò" is a small family farm located in Mazzè (TO) in the hamlet of Casale. It covers an area of 44 Piedmontese days (17 hectares) and since 1988 has been cultivating following the methods of organic farming, certifying ITSELF ICEA.
In the company headquarters there are: • an experimental orchard,born from Giovanni's desire and curiosity to group together different varieties of ancient apples, together with some unusual plants such as asimine triloba (mountain banana), amelanchier (tree blueberry), aronia and goumi. • kiwi planting: from the best known variety hayward to the top star, to the yellow kiwi soreli, to the witty actinidia. • Theapiary:thanks to the ancient association of pollination by bees to plants, part of the company's activity has been oriented towards beekeeping. • a accommodation facility:open since 2008 where you can stay overnight and eat breakfast, enjoying among other things some company products such as honey, jams and clear apple juices.
For several years, collaborating with the Assocanapa Association of Carmagnola, sativa hemp has been grown in rotation; a part of the accommodation has been created using its own green building products derived from hemp. In addition to hemp sativa, buckwheat and other cereals that, grown in rotation, do not need fertilization as the fertility released by the previous crop is exploited.
