OUR STORY
Six countries and partners decided to implement this
project due to the similar obstacles they are dealing with.
This means very high level of the unemployed people and
immigrants who are facing the challenge of the degree or
qualification while they are looking for job, lack of eligibility
for the particular labour positions. Our motivation is to
develop opportunities in agricolture fields, involve
agritourismhoners from each country and put them in
contact create a net for a soustenible tourism,.
All together, young adult learners with supporting and
mentoring from adult trainers will explore projects and
activities in European partner countries and participants will
learn and share their own experiences and the national
situation. This project is about creating an advantage of
learning, enrichment by diverse learning opportunities for use
in the “healty”agricolturelabour market .
We aim to share and use their experiences and compare
different approaches by exploring training and education
projects on agriclture employment, employability and
inclusion, collecting good practices and learning from these
examples, and to create a website with good European

practices in agriculture providing informal education and
training to young adult learners and immigrants throughout
all the partners countries.We will share and discuss at
European level experiences and methods, collect examples of
good practices from the field of adult education, reflect on the
educational requirements of new “pathways” for young adults
from ethnic minority backgrounds and other young adults
with fewer opportunities, including immigrants.We want also
bring use the methodology of "learning by doing" in
agricolture field, and share the old not written experiences
from each country partners.

AGRICULTURE- FEW FACTS ABOUT
ESTONIA
Agriculture has traditionally been one of the most
important sectors in the Estonian economy. Before
independence, the primary sector employed 20 % of the
labour force. In 1996, agriculture accounted for 5.5 % of the
Estonian GDP; employment went down to 8.1 % of the labour
force.
Agricultural trade has traditionally been an important
element of Estonian foreign trade. Despite decreased
volumes, food exports remain the second biggest group of
exports after clothing, footwear and headgear. In 1997,
agricultural exports accounted for 16.3 % of total exports.
The share of agricultural imports was 16.5 %.
In 2010 there were 19 610 agricultural holdings in
Estonia.In terms of the main area of production, holdings
specialised in general field cropping were found to be the
most common in Estonia. According to the Agricultural
census 2010, they represented about 25% of the total
number of holdings. Agricultural holdings classified as
specialised in dairy farming accounted for 10%, while those
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015

focusing on cereals, oilseed and protein crops accounted for
9%, the very same percentage shared by farms specialised in
sheep, goats and other grazing stock. Finally, holdings
specialised in various crops and livestock combined
accounted for 8%.
In Estonia, the number of agricultural holdings
practicing organic farming was growing steadily over the
2003-2010 timeframe: while there were only 280 holding
conducting organic farming in 2003, 1 060 of them were
recorded in 2010. Accordingly, the agricultural land under
organic farming increased from 16 130 hectares in 2003 to
82 390 hectares in 2010.

carried out by agricultural engineers. But veterinary plays
an important role in livestock farming as agricultural
activities. Livestock farming is a part of agricultural
activities. Livestock farming products provide year-long
income for farm businesses so livestock farming is a kind of
insurance for farms. Agricultural education institutions are
faculties, colleges and farm high schools in Turkey.

This is the place where as a child I was send by my
mother to buy coffee of high quality.The source for the
coffee beans is Bremen, near our town.It’s very famous
today also.You should visit it.Now in the museum we have
kept the most important pieces of equipment used in the
past for roasting, grounding and packaging coffee.The
interesting thing is that the coffee was too expensive and
rare so in former times people were coming here using these
machines for corn, which was an alternative to coffee for
them.We are very proud of a few very old ovens that you can
see displayed here.
4) How was the coffee transported from Bremen back
then?
The coffee was brought by train in sacks made of jute or
hemp in order to be resistant.From the station the bags
were transported here using traditional carriages.
5) Do you think this amazing collection you have here is
of interest for people?
We don’t have so many visits, but we are positive that we
need to promote the past activities to the new
generations.They have to realize that agricultural field has
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015

always been valued as the basic occupation and can
become profitable nowadays too.
Visit at MuseumskroogSpecken” Bad Zwischenahn,
1) How come you decided to start this business?
Well, being a local, I really wanted to find a way of staying
around.It’s true that most of the population is mid-aged and
have jobs out of town in Bremen or Hannover.As this is a
spa area, I knew that restaurants can’t be at help especially
during summertime so I thought of a restoration business.
2) Was it hard or risky?
Yes, you can say that.Every time you come up with a new
idea people don’t encourage you that much.But with a little
effort and determination I renovated the place but I kept the
cosy atmosphere as I dreamed of a rustic choice for having
a meal.Now I have loyal costumers.
3) What was the biggest obstacle for you?
Well, you should know that this restaurant was rearranged
based on an old castle.It was a little hard to write a project
and get it approved, also with the renovation and
redecoration but it was worthed.as people like the new
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
41
design very much.We kept the natural texture of the oak
girders as a link between the past and the present.
4) What do you recommend young entrepreneurs?
To be well informed, to find a good business idea that can
keep your enthusiasm at a high level every day and to apply
it knowing that without a lot of effort no dream can come
true.
Visit at the nursery Bonk from Bad Zwischenahn
- your green diamond in Ammerland -
1) What type of business do you have?
Is a family business based on a powerful hobby of mine.
2) What is the main activity?
Growing trees which are rare or have a specific way of
taking care of.We also export them abroad.
3) What is your competitive advantage?
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
42
We shape them in the most creative ways.We anticipate our
costumers needs or we respond to our clients orders.
4) Can you name some types of your products?
Hand crafted topiaries
Bonsai shapes
Characterful solitary trees
Prices range from 1000 euros to tens of them.
5) How can you transport big trees after you
grow them in the size your costumer wants?
Well, there are engineered methods to deliver such tall
trees.We dig a hole of 1 m diameter around the tree and we
extract it not to damage the roots in the same day of
travel.We only transport trees one by one because they have
few tones each.So, we place it in the truck and, for example,
it takes 4 hours to arrive safely to Hannover.Finally, we
plant it in the same kind of hole at the destination.The new
owner receive professional advice to take care of the tree as
it can cost thousands of euros.
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
43
6) We can realize the transportation is very
important.Do you have your own fleet for delivery?
No, but we work with powerful and very reliable long-term
partner trucking companies from home and abroad.This
has the advantage that the pricing for the customer is
always transparent.
7) How old is the nursery business and what do you plan
for the future?
The nursery Bonk - your green diamond in Ammerland is
run by the second generation.We employ more than 70
hectares of nursery area and we have 25 highly motivated
employees.We desire to expand the market abroad more to
promote landscape design and, as a result, increase our
portfolio of clients and our income.
8) What state of involvement does a young entrepreneur
have to have to start such business?
One can practice this green job only if he/she admits that
most of the time is spend in the nursery.For example, my
house is placed here, in the nursery, where I live with my
wife and children.They also have to be very creative,
hardworking and passionate.It requires lifelong learning in
landscapearchitecture and also economic knowledge.

Study trip to “FischereiRabben”
1) When did you decide that you want to become a
fisherman?
This is a family business and it was held by a lot of
generations so far.Actually, I am a technician, but I decided
to keep the tradition.This activity was very appreciated in
the past and it’s one of the things that raised my
consciousness for being active in the field.Another reason is
that my mother was the first successful woman in fishing
some time ago.She even won diplomas and prizes in such
competitions.
2) What kind of fish do you have?
Several types, but the biggest demand is for salmon, trout,
eel (scale less,snakelikefish) etc. The last one is typical for
this area.You can buy it fresh, fillet or smoked.
3) How hard is nowadays to be a fisherman?
It’s very hard from different points of view.Firstly, you need
money and time to develop the business.I stay here near the
lake along with my family.My house is „my office”.Secondly,
you cannot find people to do this work, as it requires
physical abilities mostly.Thirdly, the schedule is sometimes
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
45
difficult to adapt to.For example, the eel is a special fish
that can be caught only during night.
4) How did you succeeded in sustaining your family
business?
At some point I stopped the activity because it wasn’t that
profitable and I went to work abroad as a technician.This is
how I have saved some money. We also opened a rustic
restaurant besides direct selling.
5) Do you think you earn enough money? Is it worth it,
efficient considering the amount of work you have to
do?
Well, I think there are a lot of obstacles, especially financial
ones, and if you aren’t passionate about it you won’t find
motivation to continue.
6) What prices do you practice?
For a quantity of 1000 g of product, depending on the fish
type, the consumer can pay from 2 – 8 euros.
7) In which way did you try to solve the problems you
came across?
I applied for some EU funds but the process to get the
money is very slow.I couldn’t give up now because at some
point I invested my own money to make it work.But,
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
46
unfortunately, I have been waiting for the reimbursement
for 3 years so far.It’s quite discouraging.
8) What are your future plans?
I will definitely keep on running the family business and i
will also try to involve the local authorities convincing them
that this kind of traditional green job can help at touristic
development and not only.The good news is that we can
balance the bank account during summer because this
place is loved for the people here, the first choice for them
to spend a nice sunny day in the open.
9) What would you do if you had the chance to begin all
over again?
To be very honest, I would choose to be a TV technician.

Lunch at café/restaurant “Pankokencafe”
1) What is the concept of
this café?
We thought of a small
inexpensive restaurant or
coffeebar,servinglightmealsa
ndrefreshments, in a cozy
ambient.We collected traditional old items like sofas,
wooden baroque tables, chic lampshades and we created a
homeyatmosphere for our clients.This is our family
business concept.
2) Why did you choose this place for the restaurant?It’s
quite far from the town.
We had another place once, but we change it because it
wasn’t a good choice and it didn’t fit the new concept.We
wanted it to be like an „oasis” for those passing by.Now, as
you can see, is directly near the most importing cycle way
in the district.This spot also helped in terms of promotion
or marketing.
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
48
3) What do you serve here?
The interesting thing of this place is that here you can
taste various types of pancakes based on special unique
homemade recipes.Each culinary desire is fulfilled by my
mother, aunt, whoever is available during the day here with
me.
4) We noticed that you have hanged a lot of surrealist
paintings on the walls.What was the idea?
Yes.We wanted to promote also the local artists and we
agreed to do this.As the clients coming here are interested
in buying them, we give them the phone number of the
owners and they can negotiate personally the price. We
don’t charge any fee for that.
5) How long have you been taking care of this business?
Actually, today (28th of October 2014) we celebrate 2 years
so far.We are proud of that. It wasn’t easy to fight for a good
position on the market. Now we have faithful costumers.
Some of them only pass by to take away the food they
ordered by phone.
6) Is it a profitable business? How did you manage to
sustain it financially?
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
49
It was not easy because we didn’t want to contract a bank
loan even though we needed it for startup. We used only
our money and that’s why the development wasn’t that big.
But we manage because we are not running a big business
family. In the future, we shall think about it if necessary.
7) Is it a seasonable or permanent occupation?
Unfortunately, we usually close during winter. The problem
is we don’t have an integrated heating system here and it’s
not worth it going on with the activity.This is an important
issue we have to deal as soon as possible, but we still lack
the amount of money to invest in it.
8) Are you happy with your work?
As long as you have people with the same motivation
around everything becomes easier.I am happy that I can
offer a pleasant few hours to our clients and that one of my
dreams came true.In conclusion, despite the fact that you
are young, don’t ever give up!

Study trip to “Farm Ahlers”
1) What kind of economic
activity do you develop here?
This is our farm, the place we
live and work also.We want to
take it from self-consumption to
a family business because we
have a lot of space and material resources to handle.So,
here we are renting rooms, selling homemade products to
our clients and teach kids how to ride a horse.
2) What was the concept you had in mind when you
started this business?
Well, there has always been a demand for families with
children to spend the holidays or part of it in an open
space.Kids are very fond of animals, playing in the garden,
feeding the birds etc.And parents think that it’s the perfect
place to bring them here for at least a week to stay healthy
and become familiar with the life of farmers.As they don’t
have such kind of properties they choose us.
3) What kind of animals do you have here?
Along with a flock of chicken and some pigs, we breed
horses and cows for milk and meat.We often make
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
51
contracts with slaughterhouses or other
factories.Nevertheless, there are people visiting us weekly to
buy milk for their family in small quantity. We are also
protected by our nice dogs .
4) You said something about teaching children how to
ride horses?
Yes, our daughter has this passion and we decided that we
could give this joy to other children also.The cost is 10
euros/hour.Every child that comes here has it’s own colt
(pony, a male/female horse under the age of four), give
him/her a name, takes care of him/her.Parents are very
enthusiastic because their children are having fun and
doing an exclusive sport also (equitation), becoming more
responsible on the way because after each session they
have to comb the horse and clean the place before heading
home.
Another thing that is appreciated by the people is that
we accept horses from the locals to use them in the activity
as a gift/donation whenever they cannot keep them
anymore for various reasons.They are very happy because
they don’t have to feel bad because of the situation.You
know, between a horse and its owner a very strong bond
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
52
develops in time that you can’t ignore/forget for the rest of
your life.
5) What about direct selling?
Our son is in charge of this.We have here a little grocery
store where you can find fresh vegetables and fruits, jars of
homemade products like jam, traditional salads, mixtures
of different steamed vegetables etc.We don’t produce them
all here.We have a garden and we sell tomatoes for example
but we complete the supply with our associates line of
goods.It’s a cooperative work we have here and we promote
the producers in the area.
6)What about accommodation?
As i said, we rent rooms especially for families.Half of the
house we use for us, half of it is for agro tourism.This
means that the members of the families accommodated
here (60 euros/night/double room) have chores for the day
helping us with the daily activity.
7) What competitors do you have on the market?
Well, there is a new kind of “rural entertainment” which is
very popular for families here also.I’m talking about a
practical exercise called swin/farmer golf, a new offer in the
touristic sector, often managed by farm cafés and rural
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
53
restaurants.You can find more accessing this link
www.swingolf-ammerland.de
8) Do you have some advice for those who want to start
such business?
This is a physical activity. Also it requires team work and
most of the time you have to wake up very early in the
morning. You have to love animals to take care of them
always. Don’t aim only the profit because you won’t
succeed.And also it can be risky because animals can catch
unexpected illnesses. In this activity as in agriculture field
also, luck has it’s important place.Be vigilant!Otherwise, it
can give you a lot of satisfaction!

CooperativaAgricola La Villa San Sebastiano
Cooperativa Agricola La Villa/ San Sebastianois 30 years
old. The start was with 70 cows….now they have more than
400. It is a model of rural business in the region and also in
EU.
We interviewdErminioPensa one of the owners of the
business.
1) What was your starting point (first idea) for the farm?
Starting point was 30 years ago. At the beginning we had
70 cows and we were 4 associates.
2) How long have you been developing your business?
Since 30 years ago our farm continues to grow up. Now
we have 400 cows. 300 of cows are Friesen cows, good for
milk. They can produce 30 l of milk / day and they produce
for 3-4 years.
We have also 100 cows for meat from an Italian region.70
of our cows are living on mountain and the meat in this
case is more expensive but have a better quality.
All cows are monitored through computer as they have a
little device on their leg. Like this we can know in every
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
55
moment if they are ill, if they are ready to become pregnant
or how much milk they give every day.
The cows that offer a record quantity of milk get a price in
sweet food (like a desert).
3) Is it a family business?Do you plan to keep it that
way?
It is a family business; we work only 4 people in the farm
as everything is technology. The farm lay on 3 hectares. We
also use 300 ha to produce food for animals.
To improve the food of cows we use also olives and cotton
seeds that have the role of raising the fat of milk.
4) Did you use UE funds? What kind of financial
resources do you use to grow up your business?
During the years we had access to EU funds. Last
investment was in the biogas factory that costs more than 1
million euros but it is very useful.
5) How do you distribute your products?
To distribute our products we have our own shop inside
the farm. We produce sausages and salami and other
products from meat on our own. For cheese, we have a
partnership with other producers and we send our milk to a
factory that sends us the cheese for sale.
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
56
Also we organize tours for tourists and traditional meals
(lunch or dinner) for groups of tourists.
We have a quite big space for barbeques that are very
requestedduring summer months.
6) How do you sustain your business? Why it is
considered to be sustainable?
With the help of the biogas factory we can say now that
we are sustainable. The factory use 20% corn and 80% shit
and give us the energy we need all year round. Also we can
sell some of the energy through the national network.
The leftovers are used on the field being very good for the
crops.
7) What are your future plans?
We have now enough work to do to keep things as it is
and to be profitable. We don`t have yet big future plans.
8) What would you recommend to a youngster who
wants to start such a business?
Like in any business is very important to love what you
do, to be passionate. Me, for example I love work with
animals. This is why my studies at University follow this
area. Now I`m better prepared to work in our farm. And for
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT

the future I think is a good opportunity for those that live in
rural areas.

Our main specialty is fish.Santina recipe is Rice with
scampi.
5) It was different to cook for an international team?
No, I tried to offer to you different plates from our region
and from Italy. I hope you enjoy our meal….especially our
pasta and pizza.
I sow that for breakfast it was not so popular to eat only
sweet things so we adapt and offer you also salami and
cheese.
6) What would you suggest to a youngster that wants to
start a business in this field?
This moment is not so good for restoration industry.
But if you decide to start you should know that it is not
an easy job and you have to love it. It means a life full of
sacrifices a you have to be all time on your place and to
satisfy all your customers.

Visit at ”Panavas Farm” Salkiniku, Lithuania
JurgitaPanaviene and MindaugasPanavas
- fondator&preşedinte APDT –
Jurgita and Mindaugas gave up their life in Lithuania’s
capital, Vilnius, 20 years ago and they bought a property at
about 40 kilometers in an area surrounded by forests and
lakes.
They own a property of 3 hectares, an old house in which
they lived initially and a new house, built before.
Their farm is a good example of sustainable development,
based permanently on ecological agriculture.
1) Why did you choose exactly this area in Lithuania?
Because it is not far from Vilnius but it offers the peace we
need. We are surrounded by lakes and forests and, in this
way, Jurgita can pick up medicinal plants that she uses to
prepare her types of tea.
2) How did you develop your business in these 20
years?
We started with growing plants on the 3 hectares that we
own. We grow the necessary grains for feeding the animals
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
60
and also fruit and vegetables for our personal need. In time,
slowly, we added a new element to our activity.
We have 20 beehives which offer us the honey which is
necessary for our needs but also for sale.
We have arranged a pond where you can go fishing for
crucian carp. And we can guarantee that no one will leave
without catching at least one fish.
We have hens for meat and we are proud to have demand to
export in Malta. We have about 100 chickens at any time,
chicken (for meat) which grow ready to consume in two
months.
Three years ago we started a business with rabbits which is
going very well. We have the necessary space that they
need; 100 to 200 rabbits of all ages. They are Californian
rabbits, adapted to live in small spaces. Due to the fact that
they are only fed with natural products, there is a big
demand for rabbits.
3) I know that Jurgita is also involved in picking
medicinal plants. To what extent have you developed
this side of your activity?
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
61
Jurgita has studied and picked a lot of traditional recipes
based on medicinal plants. She picks most of the necessary
plants from the forest and the field.
With their help, she prepares infusions which are very
good for the body (Pay attention! She uses 3,5,7,9 plants so
that they give the best results).
She also prepares different tinctures used for certain
illnesses.
4) Can you share a few secrets about picking medicinal
plants?
When we want to dry plants in order to use them for a
longer period of time, they must be picked on a Saturday,
until 12 o’clock and during a period with full moon.
When the moon is decreasing the roots must be picked.
5) How do you promote your activity? How do you sell
your products?
People already know us and come to us to buy products
because we offer the certainty of the fact that they are really
ecological.
We haven’t used any promotion methods so far, it wasn’t
necessary. The promotion made by word of mouth, from one
person to another is, in our case, the most efficient.
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT

6) Can you share an infusion recipe with us?
You put in hot water the next plants: marigold, leaves of
black gooseberry bush, mint, leaves of grape-vine,
chamomile, melissa, lavender. It is an infusion that relaxes,
calms you down, and relieves stress.
7) What future plans do you have?
We want to develop into an agro touristic boarding house.
We have the space, the surroundings are beautiful, and we
have food from our own production, enough to ensure
catering too. It is a plan that we have been thinking about
for a long time and that we hope to be able to put into
practice.
8)Jurgita is also a good cook. Can you share a recipe?

JurandaKirschner
-Founder and president of APDT-
First of all, thank you
for answering our
request so quickly.
1) When was
BercaInfopoint opened
and with what
purpose?
The Tourist Information Centre in Berca-The Muddy
Volcanoes, placed in a strategic point, on the way to The
Muddy Volcanoes, a road with 2,000 tourists per weekend
during high season, started to accommodate people from
Buzau and tourists passing through in its second year of
existence, starting with 1st May 2013.It was opened by our
Association for Tourist development, Monteoru
Renaissance, in partnership with the Town Hall in Berca.
The information office offers assistance to tourists, it
informs them and provides materials in connection with the
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
72
tourist destinations in Buzau, local events and products,
tours and tourist activities such as rafting, cycling tourism,
off-road regional tours and workshops for children, cookery
classes and truffles hunting.
Unlike the previous year, this year the Tourist
Information Centre brings something new-handmade
products- which are specific to the area: painted eggs, the
macramé technique (rope knitting or knotted tapestry),
peasant sandals, crockets, fabrics, embroidered blouses,
strong Chiojdu plum brandy, handmade jewellery etc.
2) Why did you choose this area in Buzau County?
In 2011, my husband Thorsten Kirschner, of German
origin, and I decided to move from Bucharest and to get
involved 100% involved in promoting the tourist
development of Buzau County.
Before moving to Răteşti, he worked in many countries of
the world for more than 10 years as a governmental
counselor within the German Agency for International
Development GIZ.
The Association was founded by us 4 years ago under the
name “Monteoru Renaissance” Association. Recently the
association was renamed “Travel Buzau’ and it was moved
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
73
from SarataMonteoru to Berca. What are the reasons? First
of all, I am from around here and Thorsten has fallen in
love with the Boyar’s Mansion in Răteşti, the only house in
neobrancovenesc style in Berca that we have decided to
renovate.
3) What is the mission of TravelBuzau Association?
The association has the purpose of preserving the
historical inheritance and promoting regional durable
development in tourism , especially in Buzau and Prahova
Subcarpathian area. It is a private juridical person with a
nonpatrimonial purpose.
4) What can you tell us about www.travelbuzau.com?
TravelBuzau.com has the role of a connecting platform
between national and international tourists, local tourist
guides and tourism operators in order to offer inovations
and new services for the theme tours and guided tours.
TravelBuzau.com is the first complete tourist offer on the
Internet and the biggest online catalogue which contains
tourist attractions in Buzau Area, aiming at extending and
improving the offer and the tourist information all the time.
Soon the portal will also be available in English, German
and later, in French. TravelBuzau.com was especially
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
74
conceived to be easily used on mobile phones. The travellers
can access the tourist information directly (GPS locations,
museum timetables, restaurant or local boarding houses
addresses). The portal has a lot of interactive elements so
the traveller can directly contribute to improving and
developing it by inserting photos, comments and travel logs.
5) Who do you work with in order to reach your goals?

Carpatica-F&Restaurant-Carpathian Fine Food, The
Federation of Tourist Promotion Associations, ANAT,
ANTREC Buzau etc.
6) Would you be interested in high schools, colleges and
other education institutions to get involved in this
activity of promoting the area with the help of teachers
and students?
Of course, we would be delighted. Unfortunately, we have
not had such collaborations until now. I think that the new
generation is creative enough to identify more and more
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
75
ways of tourist promotion and not only. As long as we can
contribute to their education, to gaining the necessary
competences in order to develop, we would not hesitate. We
can give an affirmative answer to your invitation to make
speeches at Colegiul Economic Buzau or to have groups of
students for practical training or research work here.
7) We can’t help noticing the wonderful handmade
products and the promotional materials that you have
exhibited here. To what extend do they sell?
We don’ have so many visitors yet, but anybody who
passes by obviously wants at least one souvenir. We also
have some flyers, brochures, books about this area. Some of
them are made on order so there are not too many copies.
8) What unusual promoting techniques have you
managed to develop?
We promote culinary specialities in gastronomical events.
Strong Chiojdu plum brandy, Plescoi sausages, Buzau
pretzels, Dealu Mare wines, Buzau truffles, water onion,
Pietroasele Muscat are undoubtedly very appreciated.
We have also said yes to the initiatives of the BBC to
make TV shows or documentaries about local tourist
objectives.

9) What do you think about projects based on the
concept of green jobs?
It is a new concept that deserves a lot of attention and we
appreciate your intention of developing such a project. We
consider that it is a good idea for the future and we think
that European funding for green activities is not exploited
enough.
Thank you and we wish you good luck from now on!
The house with lime trees

Mrs. PolianaPartal answered some of our questions:
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
77
1) How did you start this business? What financial
resources did you have at your disposal?
The majority of the initial investment was made with
European funding: FNDR, RICOOP and PHARE. All of it was
meant for the tourist development of the rural areas for
which we have been struggling since the beginning of our
activity. It involved a great deal of work but the results were
as expected. We pride on our boarding house and on what
we can offer to our clients.
2) What kind of business is this boarding house?
It is a family business in which I am involved together
with my daughters and my son-in-law. We have 18
employees from our area. We all value our work and this is
visible in the fact that people always come back to us.
3) We understand that you also offer other services to
your clients besides accommodation and meals. Which
are these?
We offer sauna, massage, we have a detoxification salon
and one of alternative therapy. We want to build a
swimming pool with salt water in the near future which
would help visitors to treat some diseases.
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
78
4) I know that you have actively supported the cultural
life in Buzau. How did you do that?
We have organized a creation camp for Romanian
painters in our boarding house for the last four years and it
has been very successful. In addition, we have also thought
of the young people and we have organized summer schools
for children, focusing on learning crafts which are
traditional in our area. These have also been successful and
have lead to the development of projects to popularize folk
traditions by the schools in the area.
5) What do you recommend tourists to visit in Buzau
area?
Our area has a lot of tourist attractions which are not
promoted enough. We recommend:Monteoru Spa
Situated at an altitude of 186 meters, it benefits from a
sedative climate, being recommended to people who suffer
from everyday stress. The main therapeutic factor is
represented by the mineral springs, chlorosodic,
magnesium, sulphurous, iodate and the sapropel medicinal
mud, all of which are beneficial in case of rheumatic,
gynecological and digestive diseases.
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
79
Here they can see or use: the open air pools with salt
water, situated in the centre of the spa, the petrol mine,
which is unique in Europe, the archeological site at Pragu
Hill, at Cetăţuie, the “Eye” Spring-springs which are
exploited empirically and about which the local people say
that would cure eye problems.
In the county you can visit: The Muddy Volcanoes
(Berca), the open air sculpture camp (Măgura) and Ciolanu
Monastery, the wine cellars on Istriţa Hill, the areas : Năeni,
Breaza, Pietroasele, Merei, which are famous for the red
wine but also for the Tămâioasă variety, areas where you
can also taste wine. Then, there is the Amber Museum
(Colţi), the cave dwellings at Aluniş and Bozioru, the stone
sculpture camp in Năieni, the One Rock Church. All of
them represent tourist attractions.
6) How is your offer different from the other boarding
houses in the area?
Firstly, it is the attention that we give to preserving
traditional gastronomy in Buzău. We support its
preservation as well as the popularization of Buzău folk
traditions and of folk crafts. We have traditional recipes
that we carefully keep. We try to use eco or bio products
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
80
from the small local producers as much as possible. We
prepare many of our meat products ourselves, using recipes
that we inherited from our grandparents. We pay a lot of
attention to preparing jam, marmalade or natural syrup
made from fruit grown locally. And we also have many
recipes in which we use mushrooms that we gather
ourselves from the forest and we preserve these
mushrooms using traditional recipes.
7) Can you offer a traditional recipe?
Buzău “babic” is one of our favorite recipes. The
ingredients are: pork, beef, chopped red pepper, pepper
sauce, salt, and cow gut. Preparation: you cut the meat in
big pieces, you add the ingredients, and you knead the
mixture many times, during several days. You fill the gut
without leaving air spaces, you press it with a bottle in
order to make it flat and leave it to dry for a few days.
8) What are your future plans?
P.P.: As I have already said, we want to improve our
services by building a swimming pool with salt water. In
order to do this, we have accessed European funding and
we are waiting for the contract to be signed. We hope that
next year we will be able to invite you to the pool. At the
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
81
same time, we are going to continue the activity of
promoting traditional gastronomy and Buzău folklore.
9) What are your recommendations for the young people
who want to set up an agro tourism boarding house?
P.P.: To find out as much as possible about our traditions
because they are beautiful and attractive for tourists. Agro
tourism has real chances to develop in our area and it
would be a shame if we didn’t take advantage of this, all of
us.

“La Butoaie” Boarding House
On a beautiful early May day 2014, when nature
charms you with the smell of flowers, we wanted to check
some old sayings and we chose Voltaire who said that
“Knowing how to drink wine is a science”. And, since we are
from Buzau area, close to the famous vineyards on Istrita
hills, together with our foreign guests within the project
“Green Jobs”, we stopped at the boarding house “La
Butoaie”.
We were welcomed by two very kind young people,
Dana and VasileRosca, the owners of the elegant boarding
house. And, since we are curious to find out the story of
wine and of the boarding house, we invited Mr. Rosca to
answer a few questions:
1) How did the idea of the business come up?
VasileRosca: Our main occupation is viticulture. You
can’t possibly have a better occupation in this area which
was blessed with a soil which, although limestone, is
extremely favorable to vineyards, not so much
quantitatively (the production is around 8-10 t/ha), but
more qualitatively. The idea of the boarding house belongs
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
83
to us, this being a useful and pleasant way of valuing our
activity in the field of viticulture.
2) What viticulture area do you work and when did you
obtain the first wine production?
VasileRosca: At present, we work 20 hectares cultivated
with grape-vine from the varieties Muscat, Feteasca, Merlot
and Riesling. We obtained our first wine production in
2004.
3) What is the level of your wine production?
VasileRosca: Our annual production is between 80.000-
100.000 litres of wine, according to the weather or to
unpredictable situations. Usually, after a cycle of good years
there is a cycle of bad years.
4) Is there a secret of Pietroasa wines?
VasileRosca: Beyond the characteristics of each variety is
the person, his respect and responsibility for the work he
does.
5) And still…
VasileRosca: What matters very much is the harvesting
time and then the whole process of wine producing. The
later you harvest, the sweeter the wines will be. Here,
grapes are only gathered in cases and everything is
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
84
gathered is also processed on the same day. In the autumn,
the terrace is the place from where the must that will turn
into wine starts to flow. First we process white wine and
then red wine. The special taste of Muscat is obtained from
fermenting together with the grapes. Feteasca ferments at
28 Centigrade, for 7-8 days. After fermenting, the decanting
is done, the tanks being used for storing. The cellar used for
keeping wine is a copy of the traditional ones; they are very
resistant cellars, with a vaulted ceiling and walls I-metre
wide since the house is built above.
6) How did you purchase the equipment that you are
using?
VasileRosca: Unfortunately, access to European funding
is not as easy as you may believe or as others want us to
believe. Because of this, we had to buy one piece of
equipment at a time, the cost of these adding around
50.000 euro.
7) Why “La Butoaie”?
VasileRosca: Obviously, it has something to do with wine
and with those unusual little houses-barrels in which those
who want to visit us and stay for a few days can be
accommodated. In fact, all the wood objects that you see
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015
85
and the barrel-houses are made by me. An older passion for
wood…
8) Before wine tasting, how can people interested in
spending even a few pleasant hours here, at your place,
find you?
VasileRosca: We have a site, http:/www.labutoaie.ro/,
where we promote our place, and, with the help of a photo
gallery, we try to make nature and history lovers interested
and, why not, those who know how to appreciate this poem
in a bottle called wine. So, you are invited to come and taste
it!
9) Thank you,
have a good
year!

Mega Yıldız Restaurant
1) What is the background story of this Restaurant?
I was born in 1975 in Balıkesir'sDursunbey district. Then
I moved to the city center to overcome the economic
difficulties. I started to work as a dishwasher in 1988 and I
kept continue different position until I felt confident as a
cooker than I decided to found a company in the name of
Mega YıldızRestoran in 1997. I mean I learnt by doing this
is the best way for me. During this period I also completed
the cookery section simultaneously within the Vocational-

business and it is one of the most delicious restaurants in
Balikesir.
2) What is the reason for establishing your own job?
There were 2 things I learned from my life, especially my
father; The first "to comply with the ban and the law of
God", the second; "Definitely swim processing moral
offense". These two things directory obtain my life, I decided
to make my own way what I do best. I rely on my soul and I
took the risk entrepreneurs forcing my limit
3) What makes you different with respect to others?
What makes me different from my past was inspired by
my future ability to lead. Namely; There are many
restaurants serving good food around us were only
affordable to the upper or the lower layer or layers to
provide a luxury service but they serve to give the service
below average quality. They did not cut indiscriminately
both can serve the same quality. I'm out to complete this
lack of quality of service I have seen in this way, and thanks
to the friendly staff, I had the domino effect very quickly
and successfully these days I came ..
4) How can you maintain/keep your quality?
GREEN JOBS TO COLOUR YOUR LIFE- FIGHT AGAINST UNEMPLOYEMENT
2015

I run my business since its inception and I got the money
I gave to the service of society always the way I deserve. The
most important advantage is that while the so Balikesir

the same place for years and we're choosing carefully. And
special ingredients of each dish is special to us and we are
