WHY BUSOLS?

WHY BUSOLS?

According to Ukrainian Wikipedia, Busol is «a large migratory bird with a long, straight beak,» or an ordinary stork. It is an eternal symbol of Ukraine, as ageless as the sky and salt. We watch the storks and throw fresh herbs into salt.

The Busols Craft Salt Farm opened in 2020.

If you’re from Ukraine you should remember the traditional salt traders, called Chumaks and their traveling salt-laden wagons. Salt production has always been a family business. Busols is one of such family projects. Doing this, we rely on those we personally know and buy fresh herbs from neighboring farmers with whom we have common ground.

    FUTURA FOUNDATION  

   
   

      Busols is the latest project of the Futura Culture and Innovation Foundation. For the past 12 years, Futura has been helping local Ukrainian farms. We've been growing fresh herbs, drying herbs in the Poltava region, and, partnering with the bees, producing craft honey under the brand Vasilissa Melissa.    

   

      Futura supports everything local and alive in the Ukrainian regions — just look at our Ukrainian Pollinators startup: with its help, thousands of furry bumblebees have pollinated lots of fruit trees and berries, bringing Ukraine a great harvest.
