On a farm in the village of Pavshyno, Pid Lisom (“By the Forest”) area, we breed sheep, rem, goats, pigs, cattle, chicken, turkeys, helmeted Guinea-fowl, geese and ducks. Locals eagerly buy poultry for their children, while goat meet, lamb, pork and beef are used to make dry-cured sausages. Since it got the support of Egán Ede Hungarian programme in 2017, the farm has been slowly turning into a hospitality spot open for visitors. Hashpar family Fattoria Lombardia eco-farm is a contact zoo of sorts – an interesting tourist “find” near the city of Mukachevo in Transcarpathian region, where adults and children alike can watch and feed the Hungarian Mangalitsa pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, helmeted Guinea-fowl and other animals. In a beautiful gazebo on the territory of farm, the hosts have tastings of their products.
My passion is my hobby, which turned into a business that was started by my father.
I am proud of being able to follow in his footsteps.
Trust for me means sincere family relations and the ability to stick up for each other, which makes us even closer and makes the business even stronger.

Note: Piknytsia (Spicy) is a type of sausage, which got its name from a large amount of red pepper which gives it its spicy taste. Consumers can choose between three types of sausage suited for every taste: without pepper, with pepper and spicy.
