Last weekend: EWA Grow in Zagreb. 🤓

It’s a 6-month programme for women building agrifood businesses - mentoring, workshops, and a room full of people doing the same messy, exciting work.

We spent the day on our business model. What to keep, what to change, and in our case, how Poje grows from here.

Then mentor speed dating, honest talks, and a lot of networking.

That’s the behind-the-scenes part. Not the field, not the table, but the structure we're building to hold it all. 💪🏼

Oh, it’s just a cooking class on Hvar. 🤭

Yes, until you’re standing in the field that feeds the table. Until šalša has been bubbling for hours. Until the table is set on the UNESCO-protected land cultivated for 24 centuries, surrounded by olives and lavender. Until nobody wants to leave.

This is Poje, not just a class. A small piece of how we live here. ✨️

Just so we’re clear… we on Hvar definitely had some solid traditions and practices before the Greeks showed up. 😁

Peka is one of them. Ancient Dalmatian slow-cooking under a heavy bell lid covered in hot embers. Meat, octopus, potatoes and vegetables cook for hours in their own juices until insanely tender.

Clay versions of the lid date back to the late Bronze Age (around 800-450 BC). It evolved from even older techniques of burying food in embers and has barely changed since!

On Hvar this method was already part of life long before modern ovens, and long before anyone from Paros arrived. 🤭

Imagine you wake up on Hvar and this is what a normal day looks like. 🥹

Our days "off" mean eating out, swimming in the sea, long walks with the dogs… and still hosting people at Poje.

What we don’t always show is how much work happens behind the scenes, and how hard we try to stay sane while doing it.

Island life is beautiful, but it’s still real life 🫠

It’s no secret that we love meeting new people, but we’re so grateful to call some of our previous Poje visitors true friends, year after year. 💛

Thank you for a day perfectly spent - beach, cocktails, Poje, and the easiest, most perfect kind of company.

And of course, for these beautiful vintage vibes in the photos, Monica Farber! ☀️

Kornelija’s birthday dinner - proof we don’t always cook! 🤭

If you’re looking for traditional "peka", Konoba Zbondini is the place.

It's a traditional dish of lamb (or octopus) and vegetables slow-cooked under a heavy metal lid until everything is melt-in-your-mouth tender. A must-try while in Croatia! 🤤

Longevity matters, but don’t overthink it. 🫢

Live it, play your part, enjoy the ride and make your days better.

We do our best to live like that every day here on Hvar.

How do you make your days feel good? 🫶🏼
