The Nový Dvůr estate from Kroměříž took the silver rank, which is proof that it's never too late to fulfill your dreams. After 15 years of farming in rented premises, Jan Váňa, one of the co-founders of the national association and a great supporter of free farming, built it with his family. On four hundred hectares of arable land, he cultivates cereals, rapeseed, corn for grain, poppy and cumin. Part of the family estate is also the První scelý beer brewery run by Mr. Váni's son, where a thousand hectoliters of six types of beer are produced annually, among them, for example, Sedlák or Sedláček. The still active Jan Váňa, even though he has been retired for several years, maintains lively contacts with fellow farmers and does not hesitate to pass on his long-term experience to them.
