Who we are
About the farm
Beekeeping is our passion and our main activity: our apiary and our autumn raspberry plantation are in the forest village of Vortņiki in Latgale (Krāslava municipality), where we are reviving our great-grandfathers' beekeeping tradition. We offer spring and summer mixed-flower honey, buckwheat honey and creamed honey with hazelnuts, walnuts, sesame or sunflower seeds, and from the raspberry varieties 'Mapema', 'Maravilla', 'Polka', 'Delniwa' and 'Margarita' we make jam, preserves, jelly, syrup and homemade raspberry wine; we also sell freeze-dried fruit, berries and our own cherry tomatoes, as well as honey distillate and fruit infusions. You can order from our online shop for delivery to Omniva/DPD parcel lockers throughout Latvia, collect your order free of charge at our packing site in Salaspils every day from 9:00 to 21:00, or find us at home-producers' markets in and around Riga.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
