It all started with the fact that the family Cismas took over the project, started many years ago in high school from C. Battle, County Mures. "We are very pleased to have coped with this challenge especially difficult for people who have never engaged in agriculture, and especially organic," says Dan Cismas who cultivates land together with his wife, four children and sister-in-law. Occasionally they get help from abroad, such as now, when Copy in greenhouses and on rose gardens working student from Germany, who came to Romania for five weeks to learn organic farming on their farm.

Initially the project implied the cultivation of rose bushes on a plot of about 5,000 sqm, located in the village of Battle and the expansion of plantings in the village of Topa, Danesh and Krish.
