2009<br />

On 12.11.08 an excursion was made to the Country Life enterprise in<br />

Nenačovice. This farm is managed with regard for soil fertility, effort to minimise<br />

water and wind erosion and to support and care for species diversity of cultivated<br />

crops and the surrounding countryside. Among other things, the excursion also<br />

took participants to a mill and bakery on the farm and included an organic foodtasting.<br />

The event was attended by 57 people, including organic farmers,<br />

students of secondary schools of agriculture as well as aspiring bakers and other<br />

processors.<br />

In 2009 the project included two excursions to organic farms involved in the network:<br />

On 17.06.09 students of the Secondary School of Agriculture in Poděbrady<br />

visited the Hucul farm on Janova Hora in the Krkonoše region. The students<br />

spent the day on the farm, where they were acquainted not only with the<br />

breeding of Hucul horse, on which they could ride, but primarily with the day to<br />

day running of the farm to gain first-hand experience of the hard work involved<br />

in farming in the Krkonoše hills. Within practical volunteer work they were<br />

involved in the removal of dock from organic pasture, a job that has to be done<br />

physically, without the use of herbicide. This ecological approach is also<br />

appropriate for this area because the farm has land within the National Park.<br />

The students prepared a brief report on their practical work and created a<br />

presentation about the farm, using photographs they had taken themselves, and<br />

used this during project days at their school.<br />

On 19.06.09 an excursion was made to the Kadeřávek family farm in Věcov.<br />

The farm specialises in sheep-breeding and also manages meadows and<br />

pasture in the Žďárské Vrchy Protected Landscape Area. The owners have<br />

been actively involved in planting greenery and the formation of marshes within<br />

the farmland. The excursion was made within a workshop focusing on farm<br />

plans.<br />
