About
We are Chiara Garini and Stefano Benetti, the founders of Guà Farm, an agricultural company founded in 2018 in the heart of Garda Trentino. We share a deep passion for gastronomy and sustainable agriculture, and we enthusiastically dedicate ourselves to the cultivation of healthy and ecological products that stimulate pleasure and curiosity.


Traditions in evolution
At Guà Forest Farm we believe that food traditions are in constant evolution and we want to contribute to this process. We have adapted farming models from other places and cultures to the local context, as a way to find creative solutions to current environmental and nutritional challenges. Encreasing farm and food diversity is our commitment towards a better future.
Farm to fork
We supply freshly harvested products to local chefs to explore new frontiers of taste and sustainability.
Since 2020 in our artisanal food lab seasonal agricultural products are cold-dried and processed into jars to preserve their nutritional and organoleptic properties.
Selling directly to consumers through our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) subscriptions, offers unique experiences of connection with people who are passionate and curious about food.

History
The adventure of Guà Forest Farm starts in 2017 as the brain child of Chiara Garini and Stefano Benetti, two city people, both having international experiences and university education in agriculture and food science.
Chiara, methodical and determined, envisions a world where food production is ecological and fair.
Stefano, creative and visionary, wants to give new life to the land and woods of his family's place of origin.
Why Guà?
Guà is the name of the land in Trentino where in 2018 they started the agricultural company of the same name.
But Guà is also dialect for “Guado,” meaning “river-crossing.”
A guado can be treacherous, a difficult crossing point which requires courage and attention to go further.
With hope for a more nutritious future, the Guà project enters the treacherous waters of our current agri-food system to move towards better shores.
We grow biodiversity, we connect people and nature
Since 2018
we care for the environment and the people
We believe that as human beings we are part of nature and that influences from different cultures can bring innovative solutions of hope for a better future. This is why every day we are committed to promote biodiversity in the fields and in the diets. We work to produce food that is good for people without any harmful effects for the environment.
We grow shiitake mushrooms on woodlogs outdoor with the traditional japanese method.
We grow more than 60 edible species in our forest garden
We supply fresh products to local chefs, creating synergies with professionals in food innovation
We sell directly to people that like us are curious and passionate about food
