Living a day, a week end or more in a farm holidays means to go back to the origins, to the
land, to savour the delights that it offers. In the silent and fascination of the Langhe, Cascina
Pistone is part of an exceptional natural environment where peace reigns.
It is the
paradise of long walks, genuine home- made products, white roads and meadows full of
yellow flowers.
It is the realm of dandelion (taraxacum officinale), a plant used since ancient times for its
unquestionable properties that also the official medicine acknowledges as a long life elixir.

To our hosts we offer the possibility to see alive, in the surroundings of our farmhouse,
wild boars, pheasants, hare, badgers, hawk, mallards and other animals.

Our
Products
Our products and animals are cultivated and bred with complete natural methods. Our
chickens, rabbits, turkeys, ducks, goose, take a long time to grow up but, when you will
taste them, you will find the past times flavours. Our pigs live in the open and you will notice
that when youíll eat our meat and salami.
Our sheep and goats help us to fight against the infesting weed and they supply excellent
milk. Our bees produce different types of very good honey. Our snails (Helix Pomatia) are
bred, following the complete biological cycle, in fencing in the open and they are cooked in
various ways. The products of our vegetable garden, together with spelt, barley, wheat,
provide what a vegetarian menu needs. Strawberries, walnuts, hazelnuts supply the dessert.
