Agricultural Production division

We are organic farmers

VLS agricultural farms operate in the exceptional natural conditions of areas that have long been spared intensive human activity. Thanks to this environment and our way of farming, which is to the maximum possible extent considerate to both the countryside and farmed animals, all VLS agricultural production meets the highest standards of organic farming.

The Agricultural Production division specialises in raising meat cattle breeds and commercial production of milk, which we only supply to the market in organic quality.
VLS complies with the highest standard of cattle welfare, which is an indicator of healthy and humane conditions of livestock breeding.
All this affects the outstanding quality of the agricultural products that we supply to the market.

Farming in pure nature

The enterprise’s agricultural production respects the laws of nature while maintaining landscape features and the natural fertility of the soil. A large part of the land that we use for farming has been included in the Natura 2000 system. The Agricultural Production division operates on six and a half thousand hectares of agricultural land throughout the state enterprise’s territory. Most of this area consists of permanent grasslands used for grazing cattle; four hundred hectares of arable land is used to grow crops for animal feed, as well as cereals, annual and perennial crops.

Come and see

You can explore VLS’s ecological farming with your own eyes and taste buds. Every year, we organize a breeding day for the general public at our Bražec organic farm in the Doupov Mountains, in the Karlovy Vary region. The event always takes place in early autumn. The invitation is provided well in advance in the calendar.
