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!

Living on a farm skills
One thing you should certainly learn when living on a farm in Slovakia is how to get your winter wood stock ready.
You need:
1) a lot of wood (12 - 20 cubic metre if you like it hot as we do)
2) a good working motorsaw
3) a new saw chain (every year is nice)
4) a decent axe
5) two people (plus a babysit because this is no work for a child)
and a nice neighbour who teaches you the art of using and maintaining a motorsaw because sawing and splitting wood for dummies hasn't yet been written.
