How the Cheese Is Made
The farm uses a modern goat milking parlour equipped with a ramp and milking machines for 12 goats at a time. After milking, the milk is immediately transferred to a cooling system and rapidly chilled to ensure high quality, freshness, and excellent flavour in the cheese production. Due to the natural cycle of goat farming, production follows a seasonal rhythm.
For Visitors
The farm welcomes families, school groups, and tourists. Visitors can meet more than 70 goats and billy goats, as well as chickens and the traditional Latvian Blue Cow breed.
Guests can also take a look at the goat milk processing facility from the outside and enjoy a tasting experience, sampling goat milk, kefir, and a variety of cheeses. Farm-made products are available for purchase on-site.
In addition, the farm offers consultations, workshops, and events. Visitors can also enjoy a picnic area, camping spots, and a sauna.
