Farm food

From our farm to your plate

A platter of home-grown meat, potatoes and side dishes

Farm food at Plaznik Tourist Farm in the Bistra Valley near Črna na Koroškem combines traditional Koroška dishes, our own produce and menus for shared lunches and celebrations.

We follow organic farming principles, using no artificial fertilisers, sprays or plant protection chemicals. We grow or produce almost all the food we serve. Our cows, pigs and hens provide home-reared beef and pork, milk and eggs for many of our dishes.

Koroška specialities and homemade pasta

Our cured meats include koroški želodec (a traditional regional cured meat speciality), salami, cured pork neck, bacon and other dried meats. We use our own eggs to make soup noodles, wide noodles, štruklji (rolled dumplings) and kločevi nudeljni (dumplings with a dried-pear filling), and also serve eggs for breakfast. Buckwheat štruklji are another farm speciality.

Seasonal vegetables, fruit and dairy produce

In our fields and garden, we grow potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, courgettes, radishes, beetroot, beans, cabbage, cauliflower and herbs. What we serve reflects the season and what is ready to harvest on the farm.

Our milk is used for fresh curd cheese served with pumpkin seed oil and onion, and for cultured sour milk. In summer, we also make yoghurt. When milk is plentiful, we make cheeses flavoured with walnuts, peppers, chives or oregano.

Produce from our orchard, woodland and beehives

We turn apples into traditional Koroška cider and apple juice, and plums into jam and fruit brandy. Woodland blueberries go into jams, liqueurs and cakes, while foraged mushrooms feature in various dishes. Our five bee colonies provide honey for breakfast, desserts and honey liqueur.

Lunches by reservation and celebrations

We prepare lunches from home-grown ingredients, including Sunday lunches. With space for up to 60 people, we welcome excursion groups and private parties for birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations. Group menus are agreed with guests according to their preferences and the farm's available produce.

Lunches are available by prior reservation only. When booking, we agree on the date, number of guests and menu. For celebrations, you can also arrange for Marko to play his traditional diatonic accordion.

Homemade cakes, pastries and cold-cut platters to take away
