Autumn report – orchard – Batoș, 2023
At Batoș in the orchard, time seems to stand still, every time we get to this place it is as if we merge with nature, sometimes we enjoy the morning dew, and other times the colorful sunset. Old walnuts await us each time, in different stages of vegetation, sometimes green and sometimes golden, and full of fruit. This year is the first year of conversion to organic agriculture. We are grateful that we received this certification and that we were able to do the cleaning work in the orchard.

Participating students discovered theoretical information but especially practical...
