Fattoria Gioia

The Gioia farm was founded 20 years ago when Maurizio, a knowledgeable farmer and instructor of Tai Chi, and Maria José met. Together they practice agroecology trying to remain custodians of a decidedly wild territory characterized by the abandonment of human touch. It is possible also thanks to the help of the volunteers of the WWOOF association, who have been arriving in recent years from all over the world.

In the gorge, between Maiella and Gran Sasso, Maurizio and Maria José breed 50 Camosciate goats, 3 Jersey cows, black pigs from Abruzzo and 30 bee families trying to protect the inland biodiversity where the primary forests still exist.
