Organic excursion farm URANJEK – “Pri Baronu”
The family at the Uranjek farm is dedicated to respecting nature and our harmony with it. Their preservation of the environment, respect for animals, knowledge of herbs and handicraft skills will surely enthral you. Their lovely garden, the soft grass under your feet, the delectable smell of home baked goods, and the taste of Pohorje will surely tickle your taste buds. In the meantime, your children can play in the playground that includes swings, a sandpit, Russian skittles or ninepins, a slide, a football and a volleyball court. They can also spend time with our domestic animals, such as bunnies, chickens, the cat Tinka, the pony Liza, and the Vietnamese pigs Pika and Moly. The Uranjek farm can be described as an organic idyll under the Pohorje.
The Uranjek organic farm is located in a village called Planica nad Framom (near Maribor), in the midst of meadows, fields, orchards and forests. Their food is prepared with love – from the very seed to your plate. Upon your arrival you will be greeted with an aperitif and canapés. For lunch you can choose from our extensive menu, which includes vegetarian and vegan dishes. The food is entirely home-cooked, organically grown and freshly prepared, thus, “pri Baronu” requires prior notice.
In addition to lunches, you can also choose between “Pohorski pisker” (a stew with typical vegetables from Pohorje), ajdovi žganci (buckwheat porridge) with mushhoom soup, and – in the winter time - koline (sauerkraut, bratwurst, roast, beans with pork rinds...). If you have a sweet tooth, you definitely must try the Slovenian traditional pastry dish gibanica, apple strudel or potica, for unannounced visitors they have prepared in advance - cold cuts with dried meat products and tunka (meat dish).
They also have a colourful herb garden, so they recommend you try some of their home-made fruit liqueurs (sour cherry, blueberry, sage, mint, lemon balm, cherry) and in spirits-soaked herbs (nettle, wormwood). If alcohol is not your cup of tea you can also choose from a large variety of home-made juices (apple, sour cherry, currant, raspberry, elderberry, sage, lemon balm and min, linden and basil.
At the farm you can buy organic or processed products. The processed products have a certificate to show they are organic. Their offer includes vegetables, apples, pears, various juices and syrups, dried fruits, teas, liquors, spirits and eggs.
For all curious visitors they also organise a tour of the organic farm, herb garden, various creative workshops, lectures on organic farming and many more.
