ABOUT THE PROJECTThe first Model Farm in Slovenia
The model farm is a part of the project run by the Hungarian Self-governing National Community in Pomurje in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food of the Republic of Slovenia and with Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Agricultural Markets and Rural Development.
We are located in the village Banuta, at the edge of Prekmurje plains, close to Dolgovaške Gorice and Lendavske Gorice vineyards at the Hungarian-Croatian border. The farm in Banuta is surrounded by meadows and focuses on animals, pasture range in particular. We have grey cattle, Krškopolje pigs, Mangalica pigs, and horses. The farm strives to produce healthy food. We grow asparagus, blueberries, we have a vegetable garden and we grow strawberries in a greenhouse.
The doors of the model farm are open to all visitors!

BLOGDistilling in Prekmurje
Distilling is a long-standing tradition associated with Prekmurje. It typically takes place in late autumn or winter. Once the autumn work on the farms was finished and the harvest was stored, they began distilling spirits. This process is not merely technical but a craft that combines knowledge, skill, and creativity.
