Tasty Cheese Tour Rakovica - Turkalj Cheese Farm,HR

Farming has never been easy, but we are very lucky there are still people out there wanting to farm. The Municipality of Rakovica is known cheese-producing municipality in the Plitvice Lakes area and local farmers work hard to be sustained and not get caught up in cheap pricing and low quality products.

Freshness is not the only reason we support locally produced foods:
- the foods produced locally are of high quality;
- made in small batches, meaning less or no preservatives and agrochemicals;
- increase food safety - it is wiser, smarter and healthier to have and support many small scale food manufacturers than a few larger retailers or wholesalers.

A series of extreme weather events make food security increasingly vulnerable, and now we have experienced border closures and isolation.Therefore every single brave initiative of a locally based small food manufacturer is worthy of recognition and huge support! By destroying domestic and small food producers and leaving food security issues in the hands of foreign supermarket chains means - food insecurity!

- and last but not least, the money spent with local manufacturers stays local and helps build local economy.

Opt for locally produced foods no matter where you live - it's smarter and healthier choice, and when your heart pulls you in our direction visit our local farmers, contact them and arrange your visit!

Be sure to plan and arrange all details ahead!!

Family-owned farming and dairy company run by the Turkalj family for more than 15 years is one of the few in the region that has successfully addressed numerous challenges faced by smallholder farmers. They own their own large dairy herd and some sheep that are allowed to run free and graze clean pastures, pick and choose the plants they need for optimum health.
Mona offers a range of high-quality dairy products that are very worth buying!
