Location: Pallag Valley Organic Garden and Kóspallag
A slow day full of flavors and knowledge at the foot of the Börzsöny Mountains, where the garden, the landscape, and the table are naturally connected. The program brings the “from farm to table” approach to life through direct experience, shared activities, and personal encounters.
The tour guides conduct the program in two languages, Hungarian and English.
The program starts at the Pallag Valley Organic Garden with a light, fresh smoothie tasting. The day will be led by Dr. Alfréd Szilágyi (Frédi) and private chef Bálint Fazekas, who complement each other’s roles. Frédi will present horticultural, agroecological, and technical knowledge, while Bálint will share his expertise on the culinary uses, nutritional value, and practical processing of cultivated and foraged plants.
During the horticultural presentation, participants will gain insight into the operation of a biointensive farm with a permaculture approach. They learn about intensive, small-scale cultivation, fixed bed systems, soil-conserving and regenerative methods, the use of mulch, and the box system based on a short supply chain. The presentation focuses on soil health, biodiversity conservation, and the role of community agriculture. During the garden tour, Frédi and Bálint will jointly present the ecological role of plants, their traditional and modern uses, as well as their nutritional value and gastronomic possibilities.
The central element of the day is a communal cooking workshop, for which we will gather and sort ingredients together in the organic garden. Cooking will take place at the Kóspallag Cultural Center, where participants will prepare a seasonal, plant-based lunch together. The workshop focuses on the use of seasonal ingredients, products from local and regional small-scale producers, the incorporation of plants from small gardens and the wild, as well as a zero-waste and intuitive approach to cooking.
Afterwards, we will take a walk to the so-called Mocsár Hill to explore the surrounding meadows and viewpoints.
This experience day is a place for learning, cooperation, and joyful collaboration, where participants can experience firsthand how the garden, the landscape, and food are connected in a regenerative system.
Program fee:
29 500 HUF/person (VAT included)
