For generations, Madjarac has farmed the land in what is now central Croatia. Since the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, our land has always been worked by Madjarac hands. Today, our farm is on the forefront of developing strategies for small farm communities to thrive, while sustainably providing high quality agricultural products.
Eco-dol
The Madjarac farm is nestled between the hills of Donja Bacuga, a small village in central Croatia. In the modern era of large-scale industrial farming, our farm Eco-Dol seeks to sustainably grow food and other agricultural products on a medium-ish scale.
As our sheep graze on green pastures. Fields of oats, barley, and rye grow on rotation. We created a cooperative of local farmers to connect them to the E.U., while keeping our heritage intact. Our aim is to incubate a way this-scale of farmers can be economically and environmentally sustainable. To see it thrive in our region, and inspire others as well.
Produce
The hallmark of any farm is what it produces, and our farm has a very diverse bounty. Lamb, fresh cheese, walnuts, chestnuts, fruits and vegetables. What sets us apart is our love of Kobasica and Rakija. Banska Kobasica is a cold-smoked, cured pork sausage native to our region. Once you've had a taste, no other type of sausage will compare.
Another specialty is our Grandfather's extraordinary fruit brandy called Rakija. Locally grown pears, plums, and apples are fermented then distilled twice to create a clear and sharp brandy that will warm you up inside and out. Making it as much a cultural experience as an agricultral one.
forestry
The majesty of a 120-year-old tree is something to behold. When you think that wood is nature's original sustainable energy source, you appreciate it even more.
Within our rolling hills are acres of lush hardwood forests with magnificent oaks, wild cherry, and walnut trees. They’re part of our ecosystem. Boutique lumber products are sustainably harvested from these forests to be adapted into home restoration pieces. We also sustainably harvest firewood which our region relies on for cooking and heating. In truth, there is no warmer place, than a seat next to a wood-burning fire.
