Gorica and Rajko stay at the Pešića Rupa katun during the summer. They are engaged in livestock farming, and their daily life is tied to caring for animals and maintaining the katun. Their children join them every summer and help with chores at the katun, especially during the mowing season.

The Pešić family bases their daily life at the katun primarily on livestock farming, which is the foundation of their way of life. They raise sheep and cows, so the production of milk and dairy products is at the center of their offer.

From fresh milk, they prepare homemade cheese, kajmak, and jardum, according to recipes passed down in the family for generations. Jardum is a specialty of katun cuisine. It is obtained from sheep’s milk, usually in August. If you are not used to strong food, be careful with jardum; consume small amounts. The cuisine relies on simple but high-quality ingredients, so along with dairy products, potato dishes, homemade bread, and other traditional mountain meals are often on the table.

Authentic, homemade food is thus available to guests, prepared from what is produced directly at the katun according to the season. The Pešić family has a garden in the village where they grow various types of vegetables, and they also have various types of fruit.
