About the farm
A family farm in Beltinci, Prekmurje. We started in 1928 with seven cows and two fields. Today there are five of us · Janez (4th generation), his wife Marija, son Tomaž (returned from Maribor after studying dietetics) and daughter Eva (studying agronomy at the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana).
38 LSU of the Brown breed, 62 ha of land (38 permanent meadows, 18 maize for silage, 6 alfalfa). Lely Astronaut robotic milking since 2019. PRO-CERT organic certificate held since 2008 · the first in Beltinci and one of the first in Pomurje.
Our own cheese dairy since 2014 · today we make six kinds of cheese, two yoghurts and organic raw butter. We sell on the farm (the little shop in Beltinci), in 12 stores across Slovenia and at 14 markets a month.
The farm is just the right size for us to run it with family labour plus one external worker during the season. We do not want to grow further · we want to tell the story of what we produce better.

References and reviews
★★★★★Anica K., homemaker
The Bratonja cheese dairy has been our staple for 8 years now. The hard Bratonja cheese is indispensable for risotto and salad, while the young Brate is perfect for the children's snack. The prices are fair and delivery through brazde worked flawlessly.
★★★★★Gostilna Mariborčani
A regular supplier for our cheese platter. Together we developed a set of three cheeses for our guests · consistent quality, professional packaging, delivery as punctual as clockwork.
★★★★☆Marko B., buyer
Good young cheese, a slightly firmer rind than the industrial kind, which I like · it has character. Price for the quality is OK. The only downside: the 500 ml yoghurt in glass is too expensive for my household.
