Detalhes

We have an organic farm and goat and sheep cheese dairy located in a quaint old village of Pedrovo on the edge of the Karst plateau above the Vipava Valley in southwest Slovenia.
We are Tom and Borut a male couple in their 30s. We bought the 150 years old stone house with some abandoned land 11 years ago and started with renovation and restoration on the house and land. Borut is a biologist working in nearby Nature Park. Tom is an economist who used to run a youth hostel and worked in a tourism destination management for a decade and decided four years ago to quit the job and be a full time small scale organic farmer and cheese maker.
We make sure that our herd of 40 Karst sheep (Istrian Sheep) and 60 Drežnica Goats always enjoy their grazing. Both native, heritage breeds are extremely endangered. The animals are pastured 24/7 on one of the species richest meadows in Europe.

Atividades & Turnos

In the milking season (April - November) the first thing in the morning after breakfast is milking on pasture with milking parlour. This can be as early as 6 am. When we are milking twice a day (April - July), the milking has to be done also in the evening. Chickens also need care every morning and collecting eggs. The baby goats and lambs on the pasture need some additional food, fresh water and some petting every day :-)
Every few days a new pasture has to be prepared. The karst dry pastures are full of herbs so helping there include aromatherapy together with stunning views 😊
During the winter when is no milking there is some help with feeding the animals and taking care of lambs and baby goats. That is also time when we are cleaning bushes on pastures and preparing some firewood.
Shifts are 5 hours a day 6 days a week or 6 hours a day 5 days a week.

We are living in 150 years old stone made house which we've been renovating last 11 years. You will be living with us sharing kitchen, living room and bathroom. We have two bedrooms for visitors. Sheets, blankets and pillows are provided. The house is 150 years old lady so act respectful and be tidy :-)
All the meals will be prepared and eaten together.
The village is without water pipeline or springs. Every house has it's own water well catching rain water. That's why we take short showers and use water only when needed. The water is filtered so its drinkable :-) Please close the tap/pipe/shower when not needed
