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!

Earth apples
"Your potatoes have the size of apples!" our neighbour remarked with astonishment. They are indeed rather big and we got a decent harvest (400 kg) from our small plot in spite of a very dry summer, no fertilizers used and a serious Colorado beetle attack of our plants. In Holland, like in France, we do call our potatoes earth apples, may be all potatoes grown by dutch farmers have the size of apples?
