Farma Dreamfarm received the Farma živá award in 2023.
The plot, which was originally conventional arable land, is now teeming with life thanks to the sensitive approach of the young farmers. The method they use is known as „no dig“, which in a broader sense could be called regenerative agriculture. This means they do not disturb the soil - they don't turn it over, and they use no mineral fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides. Dream Farm is a good example of a family microfarm that can produce a large amount of vegetables organically on a small area. The produce goes straight to consumers without unnecessary middlemen, which reduces the burden on the environment. Membership of the Slowfood Pressburg movement is a sign of a way of life in which intensive growing goes hand in hand with protecting soil, water and biodiversity.
It is also worth mentioning that they raise all their plants from seed, so they don't buy ready-grown seedlings. During the season the farmers rotate crops in open ground divided into blocks and in polytunnels. The rotation is mainly between leafy, root and fruiting vegetables. Vegetables grown on the farm are stored only briefly. They go into boxes or onto the market stall. Once a week, on Saturdays, you can also find them in Bratislava at Stará tržnica.
