The potential of this island to become an organic paradise is huge. With the perfect conditions (climate, sea, those many sunny days) it is about time people start recognizing it and turn to organic ways of living and producing.
I, myself will be planting a garden this year – broccoli, salad, carrots, some berries, cabbage.. and I am excited about it, although I know there is plenty to learn about. It will be a fun and hopefully a tasty challenge..
Damir Carić from Stari Grad, a former head of the Island´s Centre for Social Care turned fully to farming after his retirement.

He planted 1200 asparaguses and then 1000 chokeberries (aronies) on his land at Faros Hora. Chokeberries will ripe any day now and Damir is expectin 100 kg this year.
According to Slobodna Dalmacija, Damir is ready to share his produce with locals as he already did with asparagus this year. Knowing how beneficial chokeberry is to clean blood, lower the blood pressure and to deal with inflammations, he will help those in need not only on the island.
Great example for others. Let there be more organic food on the island.
