This ethnographic Latvian farm is in a lovely location.  It is a sustainable farm that is based on folk traditions about the link between manufacturing and nature.  The owners offer a tour of the farm, with wild horses, cattle, an orderly and friendly environment, meals of country goodies, relaxation on the water, tenting, accommodations in log huts, a sauna and a stage.  The local waterways have crabs and ten kinds of fish, and more than 70 different types of birds next in the surrounding forests and fields.  Call in advance to arrange for participation in a Summer Solstice celebration in June or other events.

 

Hosts:  Valentīna and Guntars Dolmanis

Organic produce is available for purchase, and visitors can relax on the waterside - fishing, enjoying a sauna and making use of local accommodations. A herd of wild cattle can also be observed.
