Trees from Georgian seeds, grown in Denmark came with a Polish truck to Slovakia for two crazy Dutchmen! Hurray to globalization…
We got a phone call today: “There is a very big truck in Cerovo with your Christmas trees and he doesn’t know where to find your house”. This was a bit a surprise since we didn’t expect them to arrive before tomorrow. Luckily half of our village knows about strange Dutch people who want to grow Christmas trees so they knew who to phone.
And a very big refrigerated truck it was! No-way that he could reach our house. So we unpacked the ten boxes with our precious trees on the roadside and drove them home with our orange ‘tractor’. Tomorrow planting will start!
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!
