Consortium

The consortium comprises:

Five small-scale women-led farms (or farms with a significant female workforce), located across economically diverse rural areas.

The farms’ production activities are highly diversified and include: cultivation of fruits, vegetables, cereals, sugar beets, forage crops, flowers, and saffron; processing of value-added products such as jams, biscuits, and preserves;
livestock including bees (with honey production), poultry, and Foza-breed sheep; forestry management. Additionally, the farms are engaged in: honey extraction and jam-making workshops; agritourism and educational farm services; hands-on visitor experiences; collaborations with schools and local organizations; summer/winter break programs for youth; retail and wholesale sales, including participation in farmers’ markets and local fairs; integration into rural tourism and cycling tourism routes.
