Ecological Farming at Gradišnik
The farm has earned the prestigious Ecological Farming certificate, which recognizes its commitment to sustainable and organic farming practices. The animals on the farm are well-treated, with plenty of space to move around, and feed on organic products. The fields are relatively small but large enough to cultivate potatoes and grain, and in the garden, you can find a wide selection of vegetables and herbs.
The orchard boasts a variety of fruit trees, including apples, pears, cherries, and plums, as well as aronia. Gradišnik also participates in the "Goods of Slovenian Farms" exhibition, which showcases local produce and traditions.
Accommodation at Žitni Klas Apartment
The farm's Žitni Klas apartment offers a comfortable stay with stunning views of the natural surroundings. Wake up to the sun's rays and the chirping of birds or the crowing of the domestic rooster. The apartment is furnished with locally-sourced wood and comes with all the amenities you need for a relaxing vacation. You can also store your bicycles safely, as cycling is a popular activity in the area.
Homemade Cuisine at Gradišnik
One of the highlights of staying at Gradišnik is the homemade cuisine. Start your day with a Breakfast of Champions, featuring homemade blueberry and gooseberry jams, butter, fresh bread, buckwheat brandy, cornstarch, yogurts, cheese spreads, dried meats, homemade pate, and walnut sardines from the bread oven. For lunch or dinner, enjoy traditional Carinthian dishes such as beef soup, roasted potatoes, various štruklji, stewed vegetables, mežerli, and rpičev župa (potato soup).
