The “Gulbji” Selonian homestead is one of the very few places in Latvia where one can see a farm typical of the historical region of Selonia with its typical buildings. “Gulbji” is comparatively far from major roads and populated areas. The homestead is located in a landscape with forests, natural meadows and hills. There is a lake on the property, a spring and ponds. The farm grows vegetables, fruit, berries, and produces milk products. The hostess takes care of her collection of perennials and decorative garden. The family also keeps bees for honey, produces herb teas, makes sauna products such as scrubs, oils, and sauna whisks.

The hosts are the 6th generation of the family living here. Rita is a gardener by profession, Juris is a master in crafts. They returned to the family home over 15 years ago. Rita and Juris believe that the special unique value of the house is in its Selonina spirit that is present in everything here - the household things made by ancestors, the inherited food recipes, traditions and customs passed down through generations. 

During the visit, the hosts will show guests around the farmstead and explain about the Selonian lifestyle - the traditional yard with its buildings, the garden and farming. After lunch, there is a choice of master classes in traditional Selonian crafts, foods or celebration of traditional festivities.
