    Local processing with high standards of sustainability: Funky Forest in Szécsény/Hungary

    Agri Kulti has been researching those areas where sustainable, small-scale Hungarian food producers can gain market opportunities for more than a decade. As a result, several farmer’s markets were opened: in Nagymaros in 2011, at Szimpla Kert in 2012 and at Balassagyarmat in Nógrád county in 2014. Continuing this line we started Házikó Catering and a few Farmbistros where in Budapest we exclusively cooked with ingredients coming from small-scale farmers, meaning that the farmers didn’t even have to go to the market that much – they just supplied their products to us.
