After years of living in the big city, Laura and Antim Nechifor moved to the countryside to start an organic farm. They turned an abandoned family land into what is now known as the Scufita din Homita (The Little Hood from Homita) Farm, growing and selling a various range of vegetables. Including 54 different types of tomatoes.
Both Laura and Antim were born in the region on Moldova, in eastern Romania - Laura in the city of Pascani and Antim in Barlad. They met in Bucharest, however, at the Faculty of Horticulture, where they discovered and cultivated their passion for regenerative organic farming. They kept going on this path even after graduation, taking on jobs and courses that helped them acquire more valuable information and practical experience.
