The Gojani familly
Mr. David Gojani , originally from village Marmull , Gjakova Municipality, for eight years had lived and worked in Lucerne, Switzerland – he had worked mostly in construction. During that time he has got married and got his first child.
He managed to get a lot of good friends on the community and had a good life there; however, he had always a dream, which was kilometers way back home on the village Marmull near Drini River, on a beautiful country site. His dream was “starting own farm”.
Year 1993, he came back from Switzerland, and started a dairy farm – at that time with only eight cows, selling only fresh milk. On his way to make the dream true, he companion of his wife Francika, who provide a tremendous help. Today, the couple shares the responsibilities within the company – Francika is the production manager, whereas David deals with sales and supplies.
For the extension of the farm, the Gojani’s got a grant from the organization CDF (Community Development Found) for purchasing equipment for milk processing, which helped them to expand business and produce other milk products as: cheese and yogurt. In addition, with own investment the family established a milk collection point with capacity of 3000 liters/day for collecting milk from the dairy farmers of the surrounding villages.
