Ekostyl is a family farm, and has no employees at the moment. Since 1987 the farm has been run without any chemical inputs. Starting from 1993 it is a certified organic farm.

These are the things about ecological farming that we’ve learned there: 6 year crop rotation is practiced on the farm. The rotation is based on cereals and leguminous well balanced amount of fodder crops allows to maintain self-sufficiency in fodder appropriate amount of livestock guaranties fertilization the farm doesn’t buy any fodder or manure

The farm consists of arable land and permanent grassland. The whole farm is organically managed. Total area – 10,51 ha Permanent grasslands 0,92 ha Arable land 8,01 ha Livestock 1 dairy cow 1 heifer 1 horse 5 pigs 40 layers Type of farming Mixed Farm based on crop and animal production
