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!

Yesterday and today
Yesterday we visited the folklore festival in a closeby village called Hrusov. They gave a demonstration of the traditional way of harvesting grain. Mowing and collecting by hand and threshing with this very big wooden machine.
Today the cooperative came to harvest the rye field in front of our house, part of it belongs to us. They came with four combine harvesters! The job was done within less then an hour.
