    Description

    We are in our 50's, couple, owners of a permacultural orchard. We spent most of our time at restaurant near by the orchard. We are located in a charming landscape of hamlets situated at the frontier between Slovakia and Morava. It is picturesque and replenished with fine views. The White Carpatians Nature Reserve protects the original woods on the flanks of Veľká Javorina the tallest mountain of this mountain range. We love to have friends around.

    Welcome to our project. We run a restaurant nearby with accommodation for visitors of this beautiful piece of Slovakia.

    We run workshops and cultural activities there. You can be a part of it. We grow a traditional fruit orchard. We planted over fruit 65 trees and bushes. We have two sheep in the orchard. We often organise activities with volunteers there. If you are ready to participate at the hard work in the country, be our guest. We will share with you our interest in arts, nature, music & good food.

    This is one of unique places in Slovakia, where for centuries man cooperated with nature and a cultural country has been established. After violent collectivisation the tradition has been interrupted. Our goal is to establish it again. We are not professionals in farm work or reconstruction, but even small number of people with good will can achieve big goals.
