Life on the Farm

Jakab Erdei Porta is more than just a farm—it is the fulfilment of a way of life on the outskirts of Fót.

Our business was founded on respect for tradition and a desire for pure, natural food. Years ago, we decided to leave the noise of the city behind and create a place where the journey of every product reaching the table can be traced and remains free from artificial intervention.

Our Mission: Authentic Flavours

When we founded Jakab Erdei Porta, we wanted to give people back the experience of real food. In a world where everything revolves around speed, we chose slow, thorough and careful work.

Every jar of our pickles reflects the care that only a family business can provide. We do not use artificial additives or preservatives; instead, we preserve our products using traditional heat treatment.

Sustainability is part of our everyday life. Green waste from our garden is fed to the animals, which in turn help replenish the soil with valuable nutrients. That is our secret.

The Location

The Heart of the Farm

Every day at Barackos dűlő 29, we are amazed by the power of nature. This is our peaceful little haven.

A Secret from the Workshop

Artisan Tradition

In Heléna’s hands, pasta comes to life. Our traditional 10-egg recipe guarantees a rich flavour and perfect texture.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Free-Range

We believe that happy animals provide the best ingredients. Our hens roam freely from sunrise to sunset.

SUSTAINABILITY

Natural Cycle

Nothing goes to waste in our garden. Our farming is built on patience and care.

The Man Behind the Farm

Jakab István did not simply lend his name to the farm; he is also the first person to greet the awakening farm every morning. With an agricultural background and a deep respect for nature, he decided to create a peaceful place on the outskirts of Fót—what we now call Jakab Erdei Porta.

Every corner of the farm bears the mark of István’s work. He is responsible for the welfare of the animals, the garden’s irrigation system and the logistics that ensure our fresh products reach you. But he does not work alone: his wife, Heléna, is the artist of the kitchen, transforming the ingredients into finished products behind the scenes.

“Many people ask why we chose this demanding physical work. The answer is simple: seeing a tiny seed grow into food and then seeing the satisfaction on our customers’ faces—that is what keeps us going every day.”
