We live on the limestone coast, where the rock is visible and can be touched. Inland, it is covered by soil and can be seen as gravel and felt as minerals. Rivers and streams that flow from the limestone coast towards the sea carry minerals into the sea, where marine life also benefits from it. Our groundwater is preserved in the limestone. Therefore, all our plants and animals directly or indirectly feed on the minerals of the limestone. Come and try our local food – the flavors of the limestone coast!
