About us
Healthy soil, healthy vegetables. Healthy body, healthy mind.
We are a small team from Slovakia. For 25 years we have been developing a machine that grows vegetables without chemicals or heavy machinery.
Our story
25 years of development and growing
Ján Šlinský from Pavlovce nad Uhom knew in primary school that he wanted to grow vegetables. He studied horticulture in Čakľov and Brno and ran the vegetable unit of a farming cooperative.
He soon realised that industrial farming wasn’t his path. He became Slovakia’s first officially certified organic vegetable grower and set out to find a way to grow without chemicals, heavy machinery or needless drudgery.
More than 20 years of development and field trials led to Agrokruh: the arm, tools for almost every field operation, and growing methods for more than 50 vegetables and herbs.

Where we’re heading
We want to see many small family farms that don’t compete with each other and grow honest vegetables without chemicals. You don’t need a big plot or heavy machinery – just the will and respect for the land.
