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!!
We still have snow on the fields however the animals start to show signs of coming Spring! Geese have started laying eggs and our horse is losing it's winter coat.
I cant wait to see our Christmas trees which are still invisible under the snow, how did they cope with this long and cold Winter? We took a risk planting them here, they are normally grown in less cold countries.
I have learned that growing winter hardy vegetables is pointless when it gets as cold as minus 24 degrees Celcius. Kale and leek did not survive this Winter.
