Sustainable olive tree farm.

I always had a special connection with our land on the island of Žut. I was always peaceful and happy there. I'm doing this to make my dad proud, to become an expert in the RWA field, and to do some greater good.

My brother is the guy who gets things done, cold-blooded, with the goal in his head; he will not stop until the job is done. The idea of peace came from him. He's a chef and manager at our small Hotel Pansion Murter on the island of Murter.

Storytime
How we met Olinga and Barbara?
We would never be here if I hadn't heard Professor Olinga talk about the RWA Beanyou project on X (Twitter), where they tokenized the land of coffee crops in Kenya. RWA stands for Real World Assets (tangible or intangible assets represented as digital tokens on a blockchain).
So, the next day we had a video call, and the following month he and his wife, Barbara, came to Murter to meet the Markov family and see what we are about.
They stayed in our hotel on the island.
As you can see in the photo, we headed to the island of Žut to see the vision my father had. We climbed the hill and sat there for some time, talking, breathing, thinking, enjoying the scenery. My brother Andrija kept talking about peace and olives. The idea was born.

The story of the “Olive Branch”
Olive branch as a symbol of Peace.
Olive three has been a symbol of peace, prosperity, wisdom, victory, purity, abundance, and the unbreakable bond between humanity and the earth.
The olive branch is a symbol of peace, generally associated with the customs of ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
