Aronia Life j.d.o.o.

Aronia Life j.d.o.o. was established in Šarengrad as a joint project between two co-founders. It was created out of a desire to launch their own business venture, drawing on the compatible personal knowledge, skills and business experience of the co-founders. The reason for founding Aronia Life j.d.o.o. was to secure a steady income while generating added value based on a diversified range of products made from their own organically grown aronia, as well as a desire for a better quality of life for family members – enabling a healthier lifestyle in a small town and rural environment, in the beautiful village of Šarengrad near Ilok, located on the banks of the mighty Danube at the foot of Fruška Gora, which, alongside fertile soil, boasts a high number of sunny days that give the aronia berries a high natural sugar content. First, a family farm was established by one of the co-founders (Darko Milinković) and in April 2014, 2.000 two-year-old black aronia saplings (Nero type) were planted. In 2016, the plantations were expanded by 1,5 ha planted with 3.300 three-year-old black aronia saplings (Nero type) at the Šarengrad location.
