eco-Farm Elata
Zelznitsa,
Bulgaria
 Welcome to eco-farm Elata
We are a recent eco-farm in Bulgaria, started by our young family 4 years ago. The place where we are settled is high in the mountains, the nature is clean and it offers a great sight. Here grow many medicinal plants and flowers. Many animals from the farm are living around us. It is a perfect place to live a sustainable, ecologic, healthy and relaxed life. We have taken a good start and are ongoing a good development. We produce and distribute our healthy products to many young families.
We focus on the following:
1. Protection of indigenous races of animals. We have:
10 rhodopian cows
24 karakatchan horses
30 karakatchan sheeps
12 karakatchan dogs
2. Producing organic products from the milk of our cows and sheeps, namely yoghurt, cheese, butter, ghee
3. Permaculture:
We produce all the vegetables and fruits that feeds our guests and ourselves.
4. Preserve local traditions of the Balkans
We built and made everything traditional way.
5. Sustainable development
- Presentations of healthy food and lifestyle
- Production of organic food, we teach the howto to our guests.
- Use of natural material only
- We, people and animals are suing homeopathic remedies
- Our visitors are many families with children. We show them nature and how to mindfully care of it.
- We receive volunteers from all around the world. They help us developing, while we show them how does an ecofarm function.
Our farm has a lot of potential in attracting visitors and workshops, also in developing ecotourism related activities. We did half of our initial idea and we are in need of members to finish the other half, and to handle the farm better. We are looking for people with a strong interest in a healthy, sustainable and peaceful life.
