PLOWING WITH THE ‘BOSKARIN’ OX
After decades of absence this tradition is back!
fter last year, when we brought back this Slovene Istrian custom – plowing with the ‘Boskarin’ ox – for the second consecutive year, we will show how plowing was done right at the place where our grandparents did it a before us. It will be carried out the same way and with a real, beautiful white Istrian Boskarin ox.
