  • Description

    Description

    We are a young family of three that recently took over an old family farm that was in decline for some time now and are now reviving it as a bio farm step by step. The farm is hidden away in the middle of Pohorje massif and it's slowly becoming our little paradise. We have a variety of animals, from small to big, and a sawmill older than the one in the museum. The area is beautiful for hiking and sightseeing, there are countless streams running from the hills and it's a perfect place to unplug from city buzz, but if that's your thing we aren't too far from that either.
