Nice shop to stop when you pass by
During our stay near the shop we went to visit it on a more rainy day. The owner immediately opened the door and invited us in. The nice smell of the cheese was all over the place. She explained everything with great dedication. Not fully sure it was because she loves to talk about it or she's a great seller... We tasted the oil soaked cheese, the home made sausage and the chestnut honey. All very nice We ended up buying the chestnut honey, the home made sausage and 2 liquors (bazga and medica) I think the prices are a bit overrated. We bought the medica in regular (not so fancy) bottle because it was cheaper. Later that day we saw that the official medica liquor (in fancy bottle with tax strap around it) is cheaper than the one that we bought... (see attached picture)

Dont miss to go here if you can
On the way to Plitvica we stopped by this farm/shop. The road towards it, is a bit bumpy and you need to drive all the way to the end. The people are really friendly and let you tast the products. They got: cheese, wine, honey, meat and jam. The prices are a bit higher, but its mostly homemade. I highly recommend coming here.

An Opportunity to Visit the Farm and Experience Croatian Food and Wine
We were taken to the farm by Funky Zagreb Private Tours when returning to Zagreb after a day tour to Plitvice lakes. The farm is off the main road and in a rural setting. The farming family originally from the city chose to move to the country to enjoy a better lifestyle. Initially the farm produce was made as it often is from subsistence farms, they soon realised that to make a business they needed more technical skills and so returned to university to study cheese making. Now after some years they are taking in milk from neighbouring farms and producing a wider variety of cheeses. The visit included a meal of typical Croatian dishes and wines from the area. While their facilities are modern it is not too far a bridge to see how people lived and worked in this rural area. The family are most delightful and will help you enjoy the experience realising how the produce is grown as well as how the meals are prepared. If you are interested to get off the beaten track find this place on your way to or from the Plitvice Lakes and Zagreb.
