From City Life to Countryside Bliss: The Beginning of Our ‘Forest Garden’ Journey

Kajak.mk will always spotlight the inspiring stories of people who chose to stay in Macedonia and motivate the next generation. Our mission is to support these local heroes, who truly deserve a place in the world of tourism. And do you know why? Because the taste of vegetables from their gardens is simply incomparable to anything from a supermarket.

Today, we want to share the story of “Forest Garden.” We’d like to introduce you to Martin and his family – local heroes of organic farming in Macedonia. Ten years ago, they decided to leave city life behind, pack up their dogs and cats, and move to the countryside. That’s how their journey began, creating Forest Garden – a family-run, homegrown, and certified organic garden that brings the taste of nature straight to your home. From today, it is part of the Kajak.mk world.

Every morning in the garden is a new challenge. Martin and his family lovingly grow each vegetable, carefully harvest it, and deliver it to their customers. “The best part is that we can live and work together as a family and see people happy when they receive our vegetables,” says Martin.

Challenges are part of everyday life – from natural disasters to securing water and dealing with bureaucracy. But with patience, persistence, and a love for the land, they manage to maintain their garden and produce food that is increasingly rare today – healthy, organic, and full of flavor in every bite.

Forest Garden is more than just vegetables – it’s a lifestyle that promotes true values: care for nature, minimalism, family, and community. Martin believes this is a way of life worth living and a model for young people who want to reconnect with nature.

I can also craft an even more engaging, storytelling version that emphasizes the emotional and inspirational aspects if you want.

In the future, Forest Garden hopes to expand production, reaching more families who can enjoy their vegetables, while also building a community of local producers who support and inspire one another.

Martin shares this advice: “Don’t start this if you’re only thinking about money. Let love for nature and the desire to create something real guide you. That’s when you’ll feel true satisfaction.” Forest Garden shows that local heroes aren’t always the ones we see in movies – sometimes they are the people who, day after day, lovingly cultivate food for their community.

From today, Forest Garden is part of the attractions category and will soon be available to book as a unique experience.
