We mill our own walnut lumber at Csarda Haz. After drying for two or more years the lumber is used to make fine walnut furniture and other items of utility.

Agriculture

Although the Csarda Haz is an active, working, ecological farm, an important goal is to provide oportunities to experience farm life. Visitors can observe traditional methods of horticulture and animal husbandry. Under the supervision of experienced farmers, visitors can also participate in a number of agricultural activities.

Forty acres of English walnuts are the backbone of farm production. Our walnut trees are almost 60 years old and provide the farm with a park-like atmosphere. At the Csarda Haz you will enjoy shade under stately walnuts in the summer and experience a magical forest in the winter.


Mangalicas Love Pasture!
