Following a three-year preparation, we launched PusztaOnline.com on October 23, 2009. Our goal is to create an independent online magazine that combines information, lively commentary, humor, insight, and thoughtful analyses on culture and life on the Puszta, Hungary’s Great Plains.

  • Political allegiance: Neutral.
  • Headquarters: Kecskemet, Hungary.

Come wander with us across the southern and northern plains and experience the best of the Puszta.

    Tisztelt Illetékes!
    A Vidék íze magazintól kerestem Önöket egy együttműködés ügyében.
    Szeretnénk megjelenni az Önök lapjában direkt hirdetési felülettel és érdeklődnék, hogy erre milyen lehetőségünk van?
    Elsősorban, barter együttműködésre gondoltunk, fel tudunk ajánlani banner helyeket a következő oldalainkon:
    http://www.szabadfold.hu
    http://www.videkize.hu
    Amit még feltétlenül tudni érdemes, hogy a 2010-es évben egyedül mi tudtunk elkönyvelni növekedést a konkurenciával szemben a gasztronómiai lapok piacán!
    Amennyiben küldenek nekem egy e-mail címet,küldöm a médiaajánlónkat is!
    Válaszukat előre is köszönöm!
    Üdvözlettel:

    Fodor Tamás

    Dear Sirs:
    In response to your article on Zackel sheep you stated that there is an intense breeding program in the “Hortobugy area.” I am looking for a source for these beautiful sheep. Do you know the name of a specific breeder in the area who would be willing to speek to me on the subject? I am in the high desert area (frontier) of south-eastern Oregon which is a very healthy climate for sheep. Thank you for your time. Best wishes to you.

    Dear Suzanne,

    1. One of the official breeders of the Racka sheep in Hungary is
    Hortobagy Non-profit Company for Nature Conservation and Gene
    Preservation: http://www.hortobagy.eu/eng/index.php?id=pasztorokfoldje&subid=altalanos

    2. As an alternative, there also is a small herd at Ópusztaszer National Historical Heritage Park, and a very knowledgeable shepherd, but I believe he only speaks German besides Hungarian.

    3. Information IN THE USA: at the upcoming, 27th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, on January 24-29, 2011, you would be able to see video interviews with Hortobagy shepherds, or even meet some in person. See http://www.westernfolklife.org/site1/index.php/25th-Gathering.html and scroll down to the video by Gail Steiger.

    Thank you for your interest, in the name of the PusztaOnline.com team
