God Bless Transylvania,,, I am a huge Dracula Fan grew up as kid enjoying and watching all the Movies. I used to live next door to a Romanian Couple and Family I was able to enjoy some of the cultural food preparation and a way of life. Truly Delightful people and Delicious Food and yes they did it with Love. Thank you for sharing.
On my way back home from Brasov one night many years ago, I couldn’t find any cars to stop and had to walk from the train station along a dark, country road deep in the mountains. Because our house was so far from the town of Ditrau, I got very tired and worried about bears and wolves so I found one of those little huts the shepherds use. Unfortunately, I soon felt too cold to sleep and knew I had to keep moving to stay warm. It took another few hours to get home in the total darkness. It was another experience I’ll never forget.
I live in Rhode Island, USA. We enjoy a jam made with Rhubarb and Strawberries. It's very tasty and delicious!! I'm enjoying myself watching these videos about Romania. A lovely country!!
This is the kind of place I wish I had found a long, long time ago; I'm older now & can't do as much. I have long wanted to live in a place that is slow & isn't interested in changing that, but rather stay "old fashioned". The town where I live now started out that way, but the young people have brought in a lot of things that changed the pace of our town, turning it into more than I've ever wanted or cared about. I love the old fashioned ways of life. When my late husband was still alive, we bought a little farm here & did exactly what Transylvania is doing...we made everything from scratch & raised our own food & animals & loved it all so much. He passed away almost 26 years ago now & I long moved away from that little farm; after living in a few places, I came back here & live in the next town over from that little farm. But, it's all changing now & the "fast pace" is catching up too quickly...it's just not for me anymore, but I won't move again, so I suppose I'll just keep my ways & manage the way I always have. Just sad to see so much change, when the old ways were always the best.🙏💖
Thanks for good wishes and words about this country and people of Romania ! Is a beautiful country and nice people special on the countryside. Go there 👍is a safety place !
How wonderful that we can now have contact with this old culture, after decades of isolation of the East from the West during the Cold War. I had no idea of all of this richness of old culture that remains there. Thank you!!
Bravo! So wonderful to see your video! The life, amazing! Beautiful products, love to try some soon! Thank you for sharing. Exquisite Country and Countryside! Your people, amazing.
I’d like to say that my mother and I we still make elder or acacia syrup. Also we eat the flower fried and with elder my mother makes a special natural sprite fermenting all naturally... love that Video We are from southern part of switzerland
Transylvania is sensational. Stunningly beautiful scenery, back-in-time towns and villages, great cities, good (but slow) trains and happy, smiling people with a warm welcome and genuine hospitality. Romania is not a poor country, but the low-level economy makes the cost of living ridiculously cheap for visitors - an unbeatable combination for tourism. The ruggedly magnificent Carpathian mountains are not too distant to the north, and the Black Sea beaches lie to the east, with the capital city in between. The agricultural landscape in this promo video is understandably quite flat, as with most arable land, but breathtaking deep valleys, lakes and forests are in easy reach of this area. In case it's not yet obvious, I LOVE Romania!
Obviously, Romania has such a low economic level because it was forced by the Western Europeans to destroy its own industrial and agriculture facilities, so that Romanians should buy everything from them. That was the price of being admitted in the EU. Now we, Romanians, pay thousand times that price, it is worse and worse for us because there are no more jobs, and it is better and better for the Western capital, which is always increasing by selling to us products with beautiful labels and very low quality level inside the packages. Fair enough, huh?!?!?!
Gheorghe Moraru Thanks for sharing this perspective. My question to you is: How did the Romanian politicians manage to sellout the farmers in a predominantly Agricultural state like Romania without a Serious National Revolt???
@@aterfront It's their special talent. Mostly by making false promises. Romanians are very peaceful and forgiving people so it takes a lot more than that to anger the populace to the point of an actual revolt. Basically, no matter how hard life gets, they always find ingenious ways to survive and push through. It's a sad reality in a way.
What a lovely mountainous peaceful place. Amazing business that helps local people promoting their local products to the world thanks to the Scotsman Mr. Turnbull. Admirable Prince Charles to visit, support & promote other country engaged in preserving local traditions. The world need to see the beauty of sticking to old ways combined with modernisation. Not all progress are good to humanity.
Oh the random videos I find but such a great documentary of beautiful Transylvania ... Definitely on my list to visit. 💚💚💚 Jim Turnbull is a genius with his food products
You should visit us! Better in summer because winter is a bit rough for tourists. But if you feel strong enough... Winter is also beautiful! Landscape completely changes
What a beautiful and inspiring story! I started watching videos about rural Transylvania just as a kind of visual tranquilizer that seemed to calm me down when nothing else would. But there was always the knowledge that this kind of life was fast disappearing and would soon be gone. Now you give me hope.
AM SOO HAPPY TO WATCH THIS VIDEO AND LEARN THE TRANSFORMATION OF THIS COUNTRY. THE GENTLEMAN HAS A HUGE AND CARING HEART. LOVE THAT GUY. HE CREATED A BUSINESS TO ENRICH THE LIFE OF OTHERS. HALLELUJAH!!
Wonderful video! I had the pleasure of visiting Romania for 10 unforgettable days last month. A highlight was staying in a guest house in the Vadu Izmir village in Maramureş. The dinners and breakfasts were truly incomparable as everything was locally produced.
each summer i grow veg in my garden, and its wonderful to give some of it to neighbours also, its so much better from your garden, and its something you have watch grow, you can grow veg even in small pots. I hope these people never give up this lovely way of life. The old ways are the real ways.
I have been considering traveling there for a while. This video gives me another good reason to do that. As an American I always like to see people finding ways to do something they love while thriving financially. Great video.
What a wonderful and Loving 🥰 💝 Gift which the Transylvania Food Company has brought to Saschiz, Romania and the 🌎. It is the Authentic Intention of the founder to make a difference in the world. Their products are Truganic, way beyond organic. I now realize the 💐 of Elderberry and Acacia have been growing locally in the city where I live. Bless 🙏🏿 🇷🇴 Romania
I am from India with a tremendous interest in differe t cultures and world history. I love to travel. I am a teacher teaching worls history world geography and many other subjects.
Watching this brings back the memories I had there . The people there are such strong workers . I so wish the younger generation would carry on a beautiful culture . Koszonom Szepen ❤️
@Diamond Gold : Very rightly said. It is indeed the duty of the younger generations to carry on such beautiful heritage & culture. Love & respect for the country.
Its awesome n true wonder what nature can provide for food n daily sustenence. Truly amazing video. I will visit Trsnsylvania one day. Kudos to all involved in this farming community.
I live in Transylvania county North Carolina and created this kind of life also. I have sheep chickens ducks geese and grow blueberries and mushrooms. I also have wild Elderberry and now want to try to make an Elderberry liquor. I’d love to visit Romania to see this beautiful place and meet those people.
volks kommissar, I do not wish to be critical, but as saxon of transylvania would you like to tell us what happened to the many thousand of Saxons who were literally forced to leave transylvania in the sixties and who took their houses and towns. Who in fact replaced these hard working people who lived there for many hundreds of years? I am aware that the present President is of Saxon origin.
@@hunguy3280 and who should be blamed for this, of course the communists, they did the same thing to hungarians, szekelys and even to romanians. I fell bad for the population that once lived in Transylvania.
@@hunguy3280 of course i don't know what happened to the saxons living in transylvania. The only thing i can do is to relate on the common theories. But i will still blame the comunists for this. I live in a city named constanta that is an old greek colony. After the communists gained power, all of the romanian aristocrats, famous and rich bussiness men, and those who did not want to give their belongings (plowing land) were either killed or exiled. The houses were filled with gypsies. Today if you vist the old center of the city that has buildings that are older than 200 years, you will see only gypsies. The germans and hungarians were not the only victims during the comunist reign in romania. Troughout the time saxons moved to germany for a better life, especially after the 90's. Today there are between 30k and 100k saxons living in transylvania. Hungarians did the same thing to their jews as romanians, but what you did not know is that romanian is one of the most spoken languages in Israel, besides Jewish. I'm not going to start a debate over the romanian ancestry, but i have to admit that hungary influenced a lot transylvania. The saxons not that much, they came here in the 12th century. But since u asked me about the saxons living in transylvania, i can also ask you what happened to the romanians that at least used to inhabit: Western Banat, the Serbian Timoc, sourhern Dobruja, southern Basserabia, northern Bukovina, eastern Transnistria, Pokutia, western Crisana, northern Maramures and also the ethnic vlachs living in the balkans, istro-romanians in croatia, magelano-romanians living in north macedonia, albania and bulgaria and of course, the a-romanians, that are spread troughout the entire greece. They were all once living peaceful lifes, but these "great powers" basically ruined everything.
@@dumitruandrei4758 should we talk about genocide and slavery during their reign in Transilvania? well its 2019 and we do not ask stupid question like where the saxons go? probably in Germany where they belong thats simple fact i see only hungarians asking stupid question and spreading propaganda onto Quote everyday but its 2019 this is Romania and Transilvania is part of it come and enjoy it simple as that.
@@msv7116 one more thing that hun guy didn't know is that hitler recruted over a houndred of thousand of saxons from Transylvania into the SS. And yet, romanians "killed the saxons".
Bucovina is also very nice, but less known. Danube delta the same. Other amazing regions: Banat and Crișana, Bucegi mountains, Oaș and Făgăraș county are few of them.
3:45 ish..I love all the plants she has around her home. I love seeing the different plants, flowers & trees from different countries & / states. Thanks for sharing this with us it was very interesting. Beautiful place.
Transylvania is one of the most beautiful places on earth. What worries me is that as more 'western' European entrepreneurs move into the area, Transylvania will be ruined. I mean, burning wood for heat? How about solar and wind power. I have also heard that companies from the west are beginning to deforest areas of Transylvania. This whole region should be considered off limits by the world.
Burning biomass is more sustainable than wind or solar power. The latter require industrial production ways, metal, lots of space and most of all, constant replacement.
Please,i m begging you ,western Europeans ! Help us preserve the last primeval forests in Europe. The Austrian company Scweighofer holzindustrie is cutting down our forests with the compicity of Romanian authorities and greedy Romanian politicians. Including IKEA used illegal logging from romania to manufacture their furniture. In the last period they changed the tactics .they are transforming the logs illegally cut in Romania into saw dust which is legal to export .The wood criminal organizations from our country killed 12 rangersin the last four years because they didn't let them to cut down our forests .Please,help us with guns and volunteers that can help us to destroy the criminal logging organizations and their accomplices from politics .we need armed volunteers ,Is the only solution to get ridd of them .Otherwise they will destroy the last functioning lung from Europe .The time to prey and hope for the best is over .is no use to beg the air criminals to change their evil ways .we must force them to do so .This must be applied in the Amazon and in Congo and in Central America and in Siberia also .Please do something. WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTON .WAKE UP
Thank u Jim , very informative video.the Transylvania acacia honey must be quite tasty and nutritious.since it will be organic. I’ve see it online at highgrove and I will order it with them . And also u have some other amazing products that I saw on the video. And they are all made from natural local products 😋😘
TO THE GENTLEMAN WHO SAW THE BLESSING IN THIS COUNTRY. I TRUELY SALUTE YOU!! UR KIND AND CARING HEART IS AWESOME. AM SPEECHLESS. MAY OUR LOVING GOD BLESS YOU MORE FOR ENRICHING THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF THAT COUNTRY. UR AWESOME!! UR PRECIOUS HEART WILL EDUCATE OTHERS ALOT. GOD BLESS!!
It's so inspiring. I hope the people in that community keep up the good work. I myself is an advocate of sustainable living and the protection of the environment.
Thank you for sharing this great post and for choosing as background music the most iconic one for Transylvania, the music of the nationally famous taragot player Dumitru Farcas.
O.k. you were talking about romanian farmers - thats something different...but I'd prefeer Serbia the people there have better mentality & know how to make a good life. The romanian landscape/s on the other hand is without comparison - you got it all there big forrests, hills, lakes looking like a sea, the sea itself, hills & wide flatlands its like every possible landscape within that climatic zone is to be found there.
@@R-R.D.77 plz can you sugget me to watch ,,can you show me the link,,i like this life because People are equal and most of all don't care about money ,,if the world is Suffer and had Critics ,Roman people don't need other or something,,cause they have everthing ,,they have food,milk,water,Cattle ,everything with their own,,This is real life,,they friendly to their neighbour and they are All know,,And it is peace,,i want to miggrate and live like that cause,,in city money is everthing ,,without money it can't do anything,,but in this village,country side,,They have everthing they need by their own,,money currency rate is low cause ,,people Exaclty have everything they need cause of that money is not everthing ,,i want to miggrate really ,,no challenge of have better then other .....
@@lonerider6878 What link are you talking about?! First of all - I understand you very well my friend. If I could I would also prefeer a life like you are dreamimg of...but such place doesnt exist...in the Video you saw a fee Gypsies who aren't happy at all - they would change their lives against yours in a second if they could. The rest were romanian farmers - and they live like farmers everywhere. The freedom you see is That they are poor, dont give a fuck & there are know how to fix everything thats broken because they were raised that way and the governal regulation is not so hard like ours... But there is no such place you are talking about unless you nix one or it is a religious community like the Amish. Search for Amish people they live like you said... If you find that place you are searching for - please let me know where before you drop away your mobile phone. How old are you & were are you from?
