Organic farm Klokočov
The Jeseníky Mountains on one side, the Beskydy Mountains on the other side and Moravice Nature Park within easy reach. Right here, in the charming landscape of the Oder Hills, at an altitude of 590 meters and a little bit away from civilization, you will find our Klokočov farm.
Farma Klokočov is a fully functional agricultural enterprise, which is dedicated to animal and plant production in organic mode. With regard to the natural cycle, we breed horses, sheep and goats, as well as beef cows. In the same way, we grow traditional crops such as oats, wheat or spelled in a manner that respects the surrounding nature.
Our priority is quality, not quantity of production. We believe that a considerate approach to farmed animals, the environment and natural resources can also be seen in the resulting product and its benefits for our health.

Horse breeding in Klokočov
The history of horse breeding in Klokočov begins in 1953, when, by order of the Ministry of Agriculture, breeding facilities were built at some state farms, among others at the Vítkov state farm, where Františkův dvůr was chosen for this purpose.
The original breeding intention was the production of powerful all-round warm-blooded horses, but at the beginning of the 60s, the rest of the Silesian mink breeding herd from the declining Deštná state farm was moved to Klokočov. The existing breeding of warm-blooded horses was canceled and the breeding program focused exclusively on the Silesian Norica horse.
The breeding herd of Silesian mink in Klokočov gradually grew and its breeding quality was increased by annual sorting. At the time of its greatest prosperity in the 80s of the last century, Klokočov acquired the status of a breeding breed. In 1988, the herd of dams consisted of 96 breeding mares, and together with the years of foals, the total number was 478 horses.
Among the most important stallions at that time were Hubír 10, his son Hubír 13, then 2914 Gofal and later 2901 Hegar. An important stud in recent years was the stallion 2415 Hugo. The entire breeding herd was characterized by a stable phenotype and genotype, and these important exterior and character traits are also preserved in the current breeding herd of Silesian mink in Klokočov. Silesian mink as a breed has become the gene source of the Czech Republic.
