Szentábrahámi Herb Garden

“Szentábrahámi” Herb Garden is the first bio-certified herb and spice garden in Transylvania, where more than 60 varieties of medicinal plants are grown based on traditional organic methods. All these varieties are processed manually in a craft workshop, mixed on the basis of traditional recipes, and marketed as loose tea and spices. The whole series of activities are run by Emese Csiki, founder and owner of this small family business, which employs unemployed local villagers, preserves built cultural heritage and educates curious tourists and responsible consumers about healthy lifestyle, about how organic farming helps biodiversity regenerate itself and about how to use local resources to support local economy.
