About
UzOnkA – Authentic Farm Experience & Artisan Cheese Tasting in Transylvania
UzOnkA is a real, working mountain farm where visitors can experience everyday life on a Transylvanian farm: meet the animals, explore the pastures, discover the world of traditional cheesemaking, and taste artisan cheeses made here from the milk produced in this very landscape.
We farm at an altitude of around 700 metres, following a regenerative approach. For us, organic certification is only the starting point: our aim is not simply to take from nature, but to work together with it and maintain a healthy, balanced system. Our cows live on pasture and feed on grass, the diverse vegetation of the mountain meadows and herbs. They are not fed grain, corn or soy.
Many visitors are surprised within their first few minutes by the cleanliness of the farm, the absence of the strong barn and manure smell they might expect, and the clean, shiny coats and calm, friendly nature of our animals. This is not a farm staged for tourists: we simply show our guests how we really live and work.
During the approximately 60-minute guided farm experience, arranged in advance, guests can meet our cows, calves and goats, discover the mountain pastures and learn about our approach to farming. They can then visit our nearly 90-year-old traditional stone cellar, where our cheeses mature naturally. The experience concludes with a guided tasting of our artisan cheeses.
The farm is particularly enjoyable for families with children. Children can get close to the animals, play with the dogs and cats, meet the calves and goats, sit on the stationary farm tractors, and discover where the food on our table comes from. With advance arrangement or during special programmes, we can also offer interactive cheesemaking and other farm activities.
The guided experience lasts approximately 60 minutes, but guests who wish to stay longer are welcome to do so: they can walk through the pastures, spend time around the animals, enjoy the peace of nature and escape the rush of everyday life for a while. Depending on guests’ interests and available time, shorter or longer programmes with different activities and pricing can also be arranged in advance.
The farm can be visited throughout the year, and we have suitable facilities for visits in winter and in rainy weather as well. It is easily accessible by normal passenger car: a paved road leads almost all the way to the farm, with only the final approximately 1.5 kilometres on a good-quality, regularly maintained gravel road.
Every season and every visit here is a little different. We do not want simply to tell people about rural life – we want to let them experience it: from the pasture and the animals, through the milk and the cellar, all the way to the taste of the cheese.
Farm visits are available by prior arrangement.
