<p>Do you love to snuggle up in a duvet and indulge in daydreaming? In <strong>the handmade woolde duvets</strong> and pillows from the beskydy company <a href="https://www.besky.cz/">BESKY</a> you will be like in cotton every night ( or even day).</p>



<p>You must have noticed &#8211; either during personal visits or from our posts in the virtual world &#8211; that we do not only keep goats. Another important member of our party are <strong>sheeps</strong>. We move the herd around the surrounding pastures in the mountains, which belong to the farm. So the sheep have first-class living &#8211; <strong>healthy mountain pasture</strong> full of herbs with luxurious views. Thanks to this, they have good quality wool that needs to be shorn at least once a year.</p>



<p>But then comes the non-Russian question &#8220;Where to take her&#8221;? We keep some of the wool &#8211; so that we can process it together into<a href="https://www.zerlina.cz/en/project/workshops/"> the handmade workshops</a>. We&#8217;re putting the rest up for sale.</p>



<p>This year we have come across <strong>traditional beskydy woolen bedding manfucturer,</strong>that buysout wool from local breeders. They handcraft the best products that are suitable (not only) for allergy and asthma sufferers. Wool is the perfect <strong>natural thermoregulating material.</strong> In winter, duvets warm you up, in summer they can cool you down. Wool is an almost immortal material &#8211; with proper maintenance, your duvets will last for decades. In today&#8217;s accelerated age of consumer goods, to produce a product that has the potential to serve you for a lifetime is almost miraculous.</p>



<p>What&#8217;s more, <strong>wool bedding</strong> <strong>smells</strong> incredibly good and radiates pure life energy. A few members of our goat party have already purchased their quilts, confirming all of the above <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>Duvets are produced in nearby Frýdek-Místek. So when you will be on your way to our farm &#8211; whether you&#8217;re going for fresh goat&#8217;s milk, kefir, <a href="https://www.zerlina.cz/en/goat-delicatessen/">gourmet cheeses</a>, or have an <a href="https://www.zerlina.cz/en/project/farm-tour/">excursion booked</a> , come and see Besky manufacture as well. They will be happy to show you around the manufactory and let you smell the duvets. The premises of the manufactory are deliberately designed so that from the shop you can see directly into the production Like us, you need to arrange a group excursion in advance.</p>

<p>In past days the domain of our countryside &#8211; an old bus converted into a mobile grocery and convenience store went to villages where there was no shop.&nbsp;Nowadays a rare thing in the age of supermarkets and online food imports. Hand on heart, who among us doesn&#8217;t use their services&#8230;</p>



<p>But we are very happy that this tradition of delivering goods from regional producers and manufacturers has been renewed by <a href="https://www.regionalnipotravina.cz/o-projektu/aktuality/regionalni-potraviny-jedou-pojizdna-prodejna-zavita-do-5-kraju/">Státní zemědělský intervenční fond</a>, which has been going to the regions with a mobile shop for several years.</p>



<p>And this year you can also buy our mobile cars full of goodies <a href="https://www.zerlina.cz/en/goat-delicatessen/">goat&#8217;s cheese ripened under a noble mould</a> GABRIN! The cheese is creamy inside with a creamy taste and a light goat aroma. It is handmade according to an old family recipe. Each piece of cheese is such a little original. The cheese production process consists of&nbsp;pasteurisation, inoculation, sieving and subsequent separation of curds from whey. It is perfectly delicious! For gourmets <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>In June, stops are planned in Vsetín, Český Těšín, Kroměříž, Havířov, Třinec, Bruntál, Valašské Meziříčí and Frýdek Město. </p>



<p>A perfect opportunity to taste at least a snippet of our production. Thank you for supporting us.</p>

<p>The gut &#8211; our second brain. Up to 90% of serotonin, the happiness hormone, is produced by cells in the gut. It is reported that up to 80-90% of immunity resides in the gut. </p>



<p>If we have a healthy gut, we are better able to fight off pathogens and make the most of the nutrients in the food we eat. Colonies of friendly bacteria live here in harmony with our body. But all it takes is constant stress, dissatisfaction, depression, mental emptiness, industrialized diet, semi-finished products, smoking, alcohol, unhealthy environment &#8230; and that balance starts to tip.</p>



<p>That&#8217;s why we decided to grow and multiply <strong>tibetan kefir grains</strong>. It is a living organism that can make kefir from milk. Our sponges are fed with delicious organic goat milk.</p>



<p>Tibetan kefir grains can supply the body with the necessary probiotics, which help digestion, promote the cleansing of the body and thus the organs. We recommend everyone to dose carefully in the beginning. The most that will suffice 1 deciliter of kefir per day and multiply after each week to an amount that does you good. </p>



<p>NEVER load sponges with a metal spoon &#8211; they really don&#8217;t make friends with metal. She will like it in glass or plastic.</p>



<p><strong>How do we do that?</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Place the Tibetan sponge in a glass with fresh milk, cover with a cloth and leave to work for 24 hours. You can try our procedure &#8211; 12 hours at room temperature and 12 hours in the fridge</li><li>If you see water on the bottom (whey) or small lumps (cottage cheese) &#8211; nothing is wrong. On the contrary, it is proof of a correct fermentation process.</li><li>After 24 hours, stir the contents and strain through a sieve.</li><li>Rinse the grains ideally with fresh water, return to a clean glass, pour in the milk&#8230;. and look forward to more delicious homemade kefir.</li></ul>



<p>You can buy grains in the farm shop in Hážovice 2070.</p>



<p>Wishing you lots of health, a happy mind.</p>

<p>In the hills away from the hustle and bustle of the city, where you can wet your lips in a clean mountain spring&#8230;. Where the sight of the surrounding hills and valleys makes your heart clench with a pleasant anxiety at how infinitely beautiful Beskydy nature is&#8230;..</p>



<p>There, an equally beautiful woman and her family live in seclusion. A woman who has found her destiny in living in harmony with nature and its regularly recurring cycles. Her name is Viera, many know her by her brand name <strong><a href="https://jadoli.cz/index.php?id_lang=1">JaDoLi</a></strong>. A local gem that restores the <strong>forgotten ancient craft of spinning.</strong> She loves everything about sheep wool &#8211; raising her own sheep, shearing, washing and dyeing wool. Its processing by spinning, felting and weaving.</p>



<p>You can meet her at craft fairs, where she and her spinning wheel are surrounded by the aura of the ancient past of women from the local hills and valleys. She enjoys passing on her knowledge, skills, enthusiasm and love of wool to anyone interested. </p>



<p>At our farm, we not only produce and sell fabulously good <a href="https://www.zerlina.cz/en/goat-delicatessen/">gourmet goat cheese,</a> but we also take visitors on <a href="https://www.zerlina.cz/project/exkurze/">tours</a> of our goat kingdom. But we also offer a <strong>refuge</strong> for all <strong>souls</strong> who need to stop in the <strong>cycle</strong> of <strong>hectic</strong> everyday<strong>life</strong>. Together with JaDoLi we have prepared a morning workshop on sheep wool processing for beginners.</p>



<p>The workshop is designed for a <strong>group of 3 &#8211; 9 people</strong> and lasts <strong>3-4 hours.</strong> What will you learn? Under her kind guidance you will learn how to wash and comb wool. You will try out pre-scaling techniques, spinning (on a spinning wheel or spindle) and wet or dry felting. </p>



<p>The workshop will be held in the <a href="https://www.zerlina.cz/en/farm-shop/">farm shop</a> in Hážovice 2070, the workshop includes tasting of goat milk products and parking.</p>



<p>The price of the morning workshop is 2 600 CZK per group + 100 CZK/person/material. </p>



<p>So, are you in? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Will you take us back a few centuries for a few hours and become a Beskydy spinner &#8211; a wild woman &#8211; a fairy&#8230;? Of course, the offer also applies to men!</p>



<p>The course must be booked at least 4 days in advance at info@zerlina.cz. </p>
