OIL MILL

Pečarič homestead is located in the middle of a village called Drašiči, close to the village wine temple which is just a few steps away from St. Peter’s church. Guests can see our 130 year old house with the wooden pylon which is next to our new building and the plantation with 450 walnut trees and 350 hazelnut trees. During testing we familiarise guests with the history of the Oil Mill, our products (oils, seeds and kernels, flour, spreads), we present their positive effects, advantages, usefulness and we encourage guests to try them.

PAVLOVIČ FARM

The Pavlovič family farm is situated in Metlika or, more precisely, in Križevska vas. The first steps of the activity date back to the early 1990s.

The farm specialises in integrated production of vegetables in covered spaces and in the open air. They strive to offer the customers the most healthy products possible, with a high biological content of nutrients and a full taste. Greenhouses account for about a third of the surfaces, and they use covers for some of the gardens in early spring and late autumn.

In the past years, the farm has focused on production of berries. Thus, plantations of aronia, red currant, strawberries and raspberry can be seen.

In 2013, they also registered a supplementary activity for cooking marmelades and making juices and teas.
