Who we are
About the farm
We farm in Žlebe near Medvode, on the eastern slopes of the Polhov Gradec Dolomites; Mirko and Andreja Bizant have run the farm since 1989, and we have been making cheese since 1995. We keep 28 Holstein and Brown Swiss dairy cows and about 20 heifers on 20 hectares; we feed no silage – the cows graze in summer and eat hay in winter (hay milk, certified as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed). From our hay milk we make ripened, smoked, grilling and flavoured cheeses, quark, cream, sour cream, butter, kajmak, whey and fresh milk, and we also sell free-range eggs. Our products are sold on the farm, at the Medvode market, at the local cooperative, in some Mercator stores and in farm vending machines.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
