Chiflik Livadi is a regenerative farm started in ???? that is located in southern Bulgaria. They provide a large diversity of produce directly to end clients. They produce pasture raised chicken, eggs, turkey, pig and cow (meat and dairy) using strict rotational grazing regimes. All of these products are processed within their own facilities where they also create salamis, cured meats, traditional greek and Bulgarian cheeses, Kefir, and yogurts. Additional to the production of pre-cooked meals from local products they also have a large winery and extensive vineyards. 

​

In 2022 we visited their processing facility and winery for the first time as a preliminary site visit. Initial suggestions were made and a planning document was elaborated for the implementation of a 4000m2 Agroforest. In February 2023 we returned to lead a planting event that was organized by our client in order to plant the agroforestry system. In February 2024 we returned for the first major maintenance intervention. 

​

The Agroforestry system that we designed for this client includes over 18 species of fruit trees and includes many different varieties to ensure fresh fruit around the whole season. Additionally the plantation includes a large diversity of berries. The goal of this Agroforestry system is that site visitors and clients can have a unique experience in self picking fruit in a diverse and 'unusual' environment. 

​

In September 2024 we will enter the second project phase with Chiflik Livadi to create an edible landscaping plan for other areas of the winery.
