Summary We plan to collect and process variety of agricultural and wild food crops in a local region of Kout na Šumavě turning them into a high quality of either fermented or non fermented products as fruit juices, ciders, dried apples etc. Long term goal is to utilize and further develop local resources increasing independence of the community and bring benefits and income to its members distributing the gains equally as much as possible. The whole project is founded on moral and ethical principles of "being excellent to each other" and will be documented and made available based on open source principles. Educational tour which precedes the production phase will be one of the sources of experience and inspiration, interlinking us with enthusiasts and organizations around the globe and we hope to repeat it in variety of forms in the years to come.
