A family-run farm in the heart of the Triglav National Park valley, operating successfully since the 1970s under the guidance of father Ivan, mother Dora, and their children Boštjan, Alenka, Primož, and Ana. The farm’s beginnings were humble—during the summer months, the family moved into a small space above the woodshed and began renting out rooms to travelers. The first guests arrived as early as 1987. Today, the farm has grown to offer three double rooms with private bathrooms and balconies, two apartments, and shared accommodation.
For anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, the Jelinčič farm is the perfect retreat. Surrounded by endless outdoor activities for all interests, home-style cuisine to satisfy every palate, and the highlight of it all—the cheese & cheese factory Jelinčič Soča Valley, Slovenia. Agriculture remains central to the farm’s identity. Ivan, the father, learned to make traditional sheep cheese using a method that dates back to the 14th century. That knowledge is now carried on by his son Boštjan, who manages the farm and cares for around 110 dairy sheep of the native Bovec breed—locally known as trentarka.
The sheep cheese is made from full-fat milk and is not only rich in flavor but also an excellent source of calcium. It can be enjoyed on its own, paired with other cheeses, or as part of a wholesome meal. The cheese & cheese factory Jelinčič Soča Valley, Slovenia offers a delightful experience for cheese lovers and even those who might not usually be fans—it caters to connoisseurs and casual food lovers alike.
Our farm is a model of how diverse interests—nature preservation, cultural heritage, and rural life—can be balanced to achieve a common goal. We take pride in respecting the landscape and cultural traditions, and in sharing with our guests what we value most: a calm, authentic, and welcoming atmosphere in pristine nature, paired with hearty, homemade meals.
