Xharshë farm and guesthouse are a small family business, established in 2004 and 2016 respectively. In fact, the farm (with a total area of 5000 m2) is located in Pocestë, a village northwest of Korça, 7 km away, while the guesthouse in Korça. The idea of the farm was born from the agrinomist profession and the great desire to plant crops, which adapt to the climate of the area, for personal needs. The farm consists fruit trees such as: apples, the symbol of Korça, cherries, pears, plums, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, peaches, apricots, strawberries, grape vineyards, etc. When nature is generous, then the products or by-products are sold. Seasonal vegetables also occupy an important place on the farm, but are used only for personal use.
After the establishment of the guest house, the idea was born to accompany the visitors (99% foreigners) to the farm and give them the opportunity to touch the rural life and its products. But not only: and they were offered a light meal in these premises with traditional dishes, such as lakror in saç and seasonal products (fruits, vegetables and wine/raki produced by the farm).
On the village hill is an ancient Illyrian settlement, Shadow of the Raven, where a treasure trove of various coins has also been found, where visitors can combine good food with history and a relatively easy hike. In the interior of the village there is a Bektashi tomb, which increases the curiosity of the foreign visitor. With the involvement of the community, to sensitize them in their agricultural work, this area will develop further, without losing tradition and protecting nature with as little non-organic treatment as possible. After the clinking of glasses, there is also the traditional song of the area, the Korça serenade.
