There are increasingly more products imported from abroad on supermarket shelves, travelling thousands of miles. In contrast, an elderly couple from Spišská Nová Ves demonstrates how an entire lunch can be prepared locally, and directly from the garden. During the corona crisis we are once again discovering the magic of self-sufficiency.
In their backyard, they breed laying hens, thanks to which they do not have to buy eggs from the store.
In the greenhouse they grow tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and pumpkins, which make up part of their daily meals.
Their garden also includes one of the healthiest and most versatile types of garden vegetables, garlic.
They buy raw materials that they cannot grow on their own from local dealers. For example, flour is procured from the Spišská Nová Ves mill.
To create such delicacies, they only had to look into the freezer and the pantry, and walk around the garden.
