We grow our plantations on the agro-technically thoroughly cultivated Herzegovinian karst, below the sunny slopes of Radovnje, on an area of 3 hectares. In addition to chokeberry and blackberry, we also grow laterally native varieties of walnuts Chandler and Fernor in intensive cultivation, as well as almond varieties fra Giulio Grande, Feragnese and Tuono. The first fruit we started growing was chokeberry and blackberry, over time we expanded the estate and planted walnuts and almonds. Our plantations cover an area of 3 hectares of cleared, excavated and milled forest land, very rich in humus and various medicinal substances and minerals. The land has never been treated with any chemicals in its past.

Production process

The process of growing berries, berries and nuts is time consuming. It is first necessary to thoroughly prepare the soil, make all soil analyzes, and enrich it with organic fertilizers and necessary ingredients, so that we can then plant seedlings, form crop rotation, and only then get quality and healthy fruit from it. In addition to all the effort, a lot of love should be invested, because plants, like any other living thing, require a lot of attention and love. Berries, berries and nuts have a wide range of possibilities of use – from consumption of fresh fruits, to the preparation of juices, wine, brandy, liqueurs, tinctures, teas, smoothies, compotes, salads, jams, marmalades and various other medicinal preparations.
