XXL SWEET BLUE

Obiteljska smo tvrtka koncentrirana na uzgoj američke borovnice.

 

Odabir lokacije bio je vrlo važna karakteristika naših budućih poljoprivrednih napora, pa je nakon nekog vremena pobijedila parcela koja nije bila obrađivana gotovo 30 godina i na kojoj zemlja nije bila tretirana ikakvim umjetnim gnojivima i kemijskim sredstvima, koju možete naći daleko od velikih prometnica, a nadomak i unutar netaknute, divlje prirode Karlovačke županije. 

 

Od samih začetaka neumorno radimo na razvoju postojećih sadnica, a istovremeno uvodimo i nove kulture. Godine 2018. zasadili smo 550 biljaka američkog oraha sorte Chandler. Godine 2021. nadodali smo i 1.100 sadnica lješnjaka. 

 

Naše se uzgojne aktivnosti uglavnom baziraju na ručnom radu, ali koristimo i strojeve. Suzbijanje korova vršimo mehanički, odnosno strojno i ručno. Ne upotrebljavamo herbicide ni kemijska sredstva za suzbijanje korova, što čini jednu od naših ključnih komparativnih prednosti koju svakako nastavljamo njegovati i komunicirati kao jedan od najvažnijih razloga zašto je naše voće prvoklasne kvalitete. 

 

Svakoj našoj biljci posvećujemo puno pažnje i vremena te radimo sve da prinos bude maksimalne kvalitete i slobodan od kemijskih sredstava koje sama priroda ne poznaje. Ostajemo dosljedni našoj glavnoj vrijednosti, a to je kvaliteta prije kvantitete.

We are a family-owned business concentrated on growing American blueberries.

 

One of the most crucial decisions before we even started our agricultural endeavor was – location. After the selection process which involved many fields in the area, we decided to buy a land that was abandoned for the last 30 years and where no chemical substances and artificial means was ever used and which can only be found if you leave behind the major highways and cities behind. In the midst of the Karlovac county, surrounded by the wild woods and pure nature can our blueberry field be found.

 

Since the inception we are tirelessly working on growing the existing berries and are simultaneously introducing new cultures to our portfolio. We planted 550 American Walnuts Chandler in 2018. In the year of 2021 we added 1100 plants of hazelnuts. In the end of this year we plan to grow another 3000-4000 plants of the Siberian blueberry Haskap. Our first major harvest of the American blueberry took place in 2020.

 

Our growing efforts are predominatnly based on mechanical processes, done by hand and some by machines. All the weeds that occur around are also tackled mechanically. It is important to stress out that we use absolutely no herbicides to battle weeds which makes us comparatively superior and sustainable in the long run and we will do our best to communicate this characteristic as a main argument of why are fruit is simply of a superior quality.

 

Our every plant is taken with great care and time. We perpetuate our greatest efforts in order to extract the maximum quality out of ever single berry we harvest and make it completely free of chemical tools that nature itself never came across of. We remain consistent to our core value, which is quality before quantity.
