Wine and farm products in an "osmiza":* The osmiza is a private farm

"osmiza" derives form the Slovene language "osem" which means "eight" 
and dates back to the times when the region was under Austrian rule: 
farmers had to ask for a special licence to sell there products for "8 
days". If you are in the Carso you may notice hand-made wooden signs 
with a branch of leaves (called "frascha") indicating the direction of 
the osmiza's location. You may have wine, different kinds of hams, 
boiled eggs and cheeses. Check those open during this period:
