About Our Company
Our 100-hectare farm is located on the edge of the Lower Silesian Forests, rich in mushrooms, blueberries and large game.
In addition to breeding, taking advantage of our location, we also deal with the purchase, processing and export of forest produce.
We started breeding deer as a family in 2004. Earlier, for several years, visiting many European farms, we gained the necessary knowledge that paid off in our later work. We started with fencing 20 ha and purchasing 100 fallow deer does and 10 bucks. Currently, our enclosures cover 100 ha, home to 350 fallow deer, 300 red deer and 200 mouflons.
This is our great passion, which gives us a lot of satisfaction and brings measurable benefits. The investment turned out to be a bull's eye. The constantly growing demand for breeding stock and venison creates a unique opportunity for people with initiative, and motivates us to systematically expand our breeding.
