Zemnieku saimniecība "Celmi" dibināta 1992. gadā, kad to īpašnieki arī sāka nodarboties ar piensaimniecību un mājas siera ražošanu. Mājas sieri vienmēr ir svaigi, jo tiek izgatavoti katru dienu un to izgatavošanā izmanto tikai saimniecībai piederošo gotiņu pienu.

Kā top siers
Zemnieku saimniecība sieru gatavo no pašu ganāmpulka piena, ko iegūst no 54 melnraibajām un Latvijas Brūnajām govīm. Govis tiek rūpīgi barotas un vasarā ganās pļavās, kas nodrošina kvalitatīvu pienu ar augstu olbaltumvielu saturu. Sieru katru dienu gatavo siera meistare Inga Celma, un tas jau nākamajā dienā nonāk tirgū kā svaigs produkts.

Apmeklētājiem
Apmeklētājiem tiek piedāvās ekskursijas, kur var apskatīt siera ražošanu un nogaršot dažādus mājas sierus. Apmeklējumi notiek pēc iepriekšējas pieteikšanās.

These are the ruins of World War II fortifications near what is now the Ķegums hydroelectric power plant. One blockhouse was found on the left bank of the Daugava River, approximately one kilometre to the South-Southeast from the plant’s dam. A second is also on the left bank of the river, opposite the Rēzijas campground. It has slid down the abraded shore of the reservoir and is partly underwater. It is mostly accessible by boat.
