Garden and Fields
Join us in picking perfectly ripe fruits
and vegetables for our field to table meals
Our fields and gardens are lush and beautiful, filled with flowers and interspersed with quiet areas to relax and enjoy the setting
Small family farms dot the countryside of Transylvania, creating a tactile tapestry over the undulating terrain near Harvest House Transylvania. Some have tractors and other farming equipment, but most are tended by hand using century old techniques. We do the same here at our farm.

Eggplant
Our eggplants are sweet, delicious and are an integral part of our vânātā (eggplant dip) that goes very well with fresh baked bread.
Paprika
Non-hybridzed Szegedy pepper seeds are used to create the original flavors of traditional Hungarian paprika and used in all of our dishes.
Tomatoes
Basa Ervin's tomatoes are to die for. Big, sweet, full of flavor, not like anything you've ever tasted. You never get tired of them!
Cabbage
A staple of Transylvanian cuisine, we make pickled cabbage for our delicious stuffed cabbage meal.
Roses
"Roses bring beauty to the world" is a traditional Transylvanian saying. We have over 100 rose bushes in our gardens.
Tulips
Very traditional motif for Romanian and Hungarian wood carvings. We're awash in tulips in Aril and May.
There's true pleasure of picking and eating perfectly ripe tomatoes right off the vine
