Monika Zsuzsanna Horváth, born in Oradea in 1971, has built a life marked by resilience and community spirit. After moving to Hungary through marriage, she raised three sons and later settled with her second husband, a livestock engineer, in the small village of Szentistvánbaksa. Drawing on her background in chemical technology and experience in catering, Monika shifted her career towards farming and rural enterprise. Inspired by her grandmother’s Transylvanian soap-making tradition, she founded Gidatitok in 2017—an artisan goat milk soap business that began under a public employment programme and soon became a thriving private enterprise with the support of a Budapest family firm. The farm and manufactory integrate goat rearing with sustainable production methods. Central to Monika’s innovation is replacing water with goat milk as the primary raw material in soap making. This not only conserves water but also enhances the quality and value of the product, using significantly less water than cheese-making. Her goats are fed on local green waste collected from households and municipal services, reducing landfill use and enriching the soil naturally. Hay harvested from riverside meadows along the Hernád River serves both as fodder and as a means of maintaining flood defences, ensuring that the enterprise remains closely linked to the local ecosystem. Water use across operations is minimal and carefully managed, while grazing and waste reduction further support biodiversity and protect natural resources. The environmentally conscious model demonstrates how small-scale farming can combine resource efficiency with ecological stewardship.
