Farmer’s shop

In the heart of Velika Planina, a popular spot for hikers and nature lovers, is the "Farmers shop", a snack bar that offers visitors a genuine experience with local cuisine. It is not a classic restaurant , but a place where the emphasis is on fresh, local produce and dishes prepared according to traditional recipes. Visitors who shared their experiences highlighted both the strengths and some aspects that are good to know before visiting.

Culinary offer: Tastes of tradition

The core of the offer at the "Farmers Shop" is homemade food , based on local ingredients. Guests particularly praise some of the dishes that have become the trademark of this place. Among them, polenta stands out, which they describe as delicious and an excellent choice for refreshment after a long walk. The soups are also highly appreciated, which visitors describe as "delicious" and ideal for warming up on colder days. The atmosphere in the snack bar is considered by many to be "flawless", which contributes to the overall culinary experience .

Dairy and meat products

Dairy products, especially cheeses, occupy a special place in the offer. Several reviews mention "excellent" and "fine cheeses", which indicates high quality and authenticity. The cheese and sausage cold cuts are described as "a real delicacy", combining the best local flavors. These products are a reflection of the environment in which the snack bar is located, and represent an important part of Slovenian mountain cuisine .

• Polenta: Often mentioned as a delicious and filling dish.
• Soups: A great choice for a hot lunch or snack.
• Cold cuts: A combination of high-quality cheeses and cured meats.
• Štruklji: A popular traditional dish , but one that receives mixed reviews.

Prices and Portions: What to Expect?

The most divided opinions among guests relate to the prices in restaurants , or in this case, the snack bar. Opinions vary widely, which suggests that potential visitors should be cautious. Some guests believe that the prices are "very reasonable" considering the location and quality offered, which shows that they value the freshness and origin of the food. On the other hand, some warn that the prices are "very high".

Concrete examples and experiences

To give you an idea, one review states a price of €25 for a mixed cold cuts and €13 for a dessert. Another experience mentions a portion of štruklji for €12, which seemed too small for its price, although the taste was good. This range of opinions shows that the perception of value for money depends on the individual's expectations and perhaps also on which dishes are ordered. Visitors should therefore prepare for prices that are typical of tourist-besieged mountain locations, where logistics and food preparation are more demanding. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, described as "very friendly farmers", certainly adds value to the whole experience.

Ambience and location

"Farmers shop" is not only a place for local food , but also an experience in itself. It is located in the idyllic surroundings of Velika planina, which allows visitors to enjoy the views and fresh air while eating. The rustic appearance of the building, reminiscent of a traditional shepherd's hut, creates an authentic and pleasant atmosphere. It is an ideal stop for hikers who want to rest and refresh themselves in an authentic mountain environment before continuing their journey. It is not a classic inn , but a farm that offers its own produce and dishes, which should be taken into account when expecting service and offerings.
