Danijel Čajko
OPG has been in existence since 2003, but the love for
bees in this family has been developing since the middle of the last
century when Grandpa Tom started beekeeping as a hobby. His grandfather did not move bees to pastures, but instead engaged in
stationary beekeeping, and the love, tradition and interest in this
business were passed from generation to generation.
The family goes into business more intensely in 2011 when Danijel's
younger brother Dalibor became more interested in bees and began working
with his grandfather to learn the basics. A year later, I also
entered the beekeeping world. We worked together for a while, but my
brother soon went to Zagreb to work, so the care of the apiary remains
on me. It's easy to fall in love with this business, and I soon felt it
on my own skin. Today I'm just sorry I waited so long...
Apiary Soljani
Bees on Sunflower pasture
The economy places its products on the market directly because it achieves the best selling price, but also direct contact with customers, which is extremely important. They strive to emphasize the importance of using bee products in their daily diet as well as their beneficial effects on health.
"The secret
of producing real, natural honey is the bees in their bodies and the
digestive organs that produce honey, a product almost indispensable in
human consumption. There is no bee in the world that produces bad
honey. We are glad that our work has been recognized and the best proof
of it is the satisfied customers. The first national jar was promoted
in Županja and was poured by the then minister Tomislav Tolušić".
In Županja, we have an automatic honey pot equipped with their own
funds and a newly built automatic honey refill, which they realized
through measure 6.3.1. Rural development. The project was written by
themselves, and the biggest job was done by the third, youngest brother
Tomislav Čajko, otherwise by profession B.Sc. economist.
The Čajko family owns 2.5 ha of land, most of which
relates to facelia and other honey plants and the rest to nuts. The
land is located in Soljani, 40 km from the headquarters of the family
farm in Županja. OPG Čajko currently has 150 hives, and in 2020 they
plan to increase it to 250. Along with the association, a common idea emerges, the House of Honey -
Županja.
Considering that I was a computer science major, I designed
labels myself, a website, a webshop and soon every step of ours could be
tracked on the internet. Quality was our first priority from the
beginning and we wanted to show it to everyone," we learn. It is an
extensive and arduous job, but with effort and dedication everything can
be done. And when one does what one loves, then everything is far
easier. "With this project, we have distinguished ourselves in the
market and our brand has become recognizable. The Honey House is a place
where our customers have the opportunity to taste bee products, further
educate themselves and talk about everything. We believe this is the
right way to increase the currently low average consumption of bee
products by per capita in Croatia" they.
Visits will be organized in the newly opened educational and sales area, showing the whole process from field to table: from extracting honey from the hive, controlling moisture and maturity, opening the frame, returning, filtering, homogenizing to filling in jars and gluing labels. All information will also be accessible through the website and social networks.
