Our organization was established in 2015 and its main purpose is to recover and maintain Salt marshes in Slovakia. Currently we cover 45 Hectares of National reservation „Kamenínske Slaniská” (Kamenin Salt Marshes), that is situated in the southern part of Slovakia. 

This area is the natural habitat for some of the critically endangered plant species in Slovakia such as Siberian Statice (latin Limonium Gmelini) or Galatella punctata. We are maintaining pastures to preserve their natural habitat. Our priority is to preserve grassland and biodiversity in this area. I enclose a link to a presentation brochure about our farming area, to which our association contributed.

We have chosen the Hungarian Gray Cattle for our mission and as of today our main herd consists of 55 pieces of cattle, which in the Fall months of the year can grow to as large as 110 pieces. With our choice the Hungarian Gray cattle, which is a protected species. We are also preserving the natural cattle breed methods and knowledge in this region.

Our livestock was purchased by members of our association and grazed in a common herd. We have built the infrastructure needed to keep the animals in a nomad cold farming environment, with pens and hay storage, as well as a viewpoint and outdoor community space for our members and visitors. We are essentially a cooperative farming association, coordinating our production and marketing activities.
