Growers/producers
Farm owners are growing historic and Latvian-bred rye varieties that are suitable for baking rye bread in the traditional way. They take more effort in return for a smaller yield, but bakers claim that only the “old” varieties give traditional rye bread its characteristic flavour and consistency. Farms are also producing different types of rye flour (wholegrain, coarsely- and finely-ground), rye breadcrumbs, rye bran and other ingredients for healthy and delicious dishes.

Kelmeni, the Ranka bakeryCeptuve te darbojas kopš 1993.gada, kur no pašu audzētiem "Kaupo" šķirnes rudziem cep Rankas rudzu rupjo maizi. Tiek cepta arī kviešu un rudzu saldskābā maize, baltmaize un graudu maize. Rudzu maizes cepšanas process neapstājas ne dienu un mīklas sakasnītis katru dienu tiek glabāts un izmantots nākošās dienas cepieniem. Plaucējuma dabiskā rūgšana noris koka kubulos, katrs kukulītis tiek veidots ar rokām un pacietību. Ik gadu saimniecība pārstrādā un izcep maizē aptuveni 800 tonnu rudzu.
