MagosVölgy Ecological Farm – a startup agroecology initiative

MagosVölgy Ecological Farm was established in 2013 by Judit and Zoltán Dezsény, a young urban-to-rural migrant couple. MagosVölgy Ecological Farm is situated in North-Hungary, 85 km north to the capital of Budapest. MagosVölgy literally means Seeds Valley as well as Elevated Valley. Seed is the core symbol of life, representing the beginning and the end of life. The location of the farm, called Terény, is a tiny village with 380 inhabitants in the Cserhát mountain range. 

At MagosVölgy the goal is to create a farm shaped by the principles of sustainability, an agriculturally oriented, small-scale, ethical enterprise which utilizes local resources, creates values and synergies, builds communities, feeds people, provides livelihood and perspective, and bridges the urban and rural world.The hand labour and management intensive organic vegetable production is based on no-till, compost, mulch, and permanent bed techniques.
