This is a tourism and goat farm on the banks of the Bay of Rīga in Kurzeme.  The farm is located between the sea and the forest, 300 metres from a rocky seashore. 

The owners have purebred goats of a type that originated in Argentina.  These are beautiful goats.  Guests have started to call the place "seashore goats," because the sounds of the sea can be heard.  Accommodations are available to all visitors. 

Ruta and Jānis' ancestors owned Raudiņas, where she takes care of beauty and good feelings by tending to flowerbeds, orchards and the rural landscape, while he runs the farm.  Monna, in turn, is excellent at greeting guests.  She knows everything about the farm and is always prepared to help. 

During visits, depending on the weather, guests can look at the goats and feed them.  The lady of the homestead will help guests to tie brooms of branches, gather together piles of hay, and weave edible crowns of flowers and leaves.  More creative visitors can draw pictures with a goat's foot, dance the "Ram" folk dance, or play a unique instrument that is made of the nails of goats.

  • A stroll to get to know the "seashore goats";
  • Gathering of materials for edible flower crowns and branch brooms in the surrounding area, and then preparation of those items;
