About the project

We are the biggest eco-village not only in Hungary, but in the whole of Europe. From the very beginning of the project we have always strived to become self-sustainable through hard work, social development and by using traditional technologies. In our 266 hectare property we have bio-gardens which provide us with vegetables and fruit, and also a cellar which goes a long way in helping us be more self-sustainable in the cold winter months. We use traditional storage and conservation as well as dehydration methods to preserve our products without any artificial preservatives.

Our Cow Protection Centre is the home of herd of cows, which includes Hungarian Tarkas, Tiroli Borzderes and an Indian Zebu.

Our farm community provides a practical lifestyle, offering freedom with a beautiful and peaceful future.
