Welcome on our “Living on a farm in Slovakia – Blog”. In May 2008 we have bought a smallholding in Slovakia without ever having seen it and we have moved to our farm in September 2008. Since then we have started to get acquainted with our neighbours, learn the Slovak language, renovate the house, regain our land from nature and we have actually started to farm on our land in spring 2009. On this blog you can follow our progress and setbacks. Have fun reading it!

Spring!
21st March; Today spring has started. The sun is shining but it is still rather cold. The meadows have a light brown color, no wild flowers yet. Will it ever get warm again?

Cultural heritage
Barn
We continue working in our old barn, it will become something quite different. The ceiling has to go, something used it for lunch. It is made of oak wood covered with a mixture of straw and loam. The oak boards will end up in our wood stove, their seems to be enough to keep us warm for a month or two!
