Farming Activities:
Our ecological farm in Křišťanovice has mainly meadows and pastures. What arable land we have we use to grow organic grain to feed our farm animals. We keep primarily sheep for meat production and also cows. |
|
The main product of the farm is high-quality organic lamb. Our lambs only feed on maternal milk and, when out to pasture, on fresh grass. In winter they get first class hay. Therefore, their meat is both healthy and delicious. Moreover, lamb is easily digestible and has high nutrition value. |
|
|
Commercial Activities:
The farm is a member of Czech Association of Ecological Farmers PRO-BIO in Šumperk and, in addition to our own production, we also trade in organic lamb raised by other PRO-BIO members. The number of ecological sheep in the Czech Republic keeps on increasing and every year we will be able to offer a larger volume of organic lamb to our customers in the Czech Republic and abroad. |
|
|
Through the PRO-BIO Association, the farm is also a regular member of the whole-world organization of ecological farming IFOAM. |
|
