FARM “VAIDELOTES”

Crafts

Agriculture and the Latvian way of life – concepts that coexist well in the farm, which has been awarded the culture mark “Latvian Heritage” for nurturing Latvian traditions, as well as the mark “Latvian Kitchen” for the preparation of traditional dishes. At the farm, visitors can view the herb and medicinal plant collections, taste herbal teas, get to know the ancient Latvian cuisine, as well as relax under the big oak tree. The hostess can show how to bake pierogi, karasha from roughly ground whole-wheat flour and make cheese, as well as explain the bread-making process and how to make whole-wheat boiled pies (virteņi), how to live happily and in harmony with nature. Visitors can also buy teas, spices and farm goods. One of the oldest methods of traditional healing and treatment, including in Semigallia, has always been the use of various herbal teas. That is why “Vaidelotes” also tries to maintain the popularity of ancient medicinal herbal teas in society, preserving and nurturing ancient traditions.
