The home-hosted full-course lunch you will be served is always made from scratch with organically grown ingredients from local farms of resilient Srebrenica Genocide survivors. Joining us for this lunch means you are not only treating your taste buds with once-in-a-lifetime flavors but also helping us to support the small local community in striving towards a better and sustainable future.
