The structure of rural development policy, the general economic situation and social situation has changed the structure of agricultural holdings, increasing the number of small farms engaged in poultry farming, livestock farming, vegetable farming, domestic production. Restructuring, launching and further developing a competitive plant is not easy. Especially at the time when the large farms have developed, when the main means of production is broken down. In such a situation, one of the directions of activity for small farms is domestic production.
The activities of domestic producers, their participation in various events, appear increasingly brighter. There is competition. In order to be perceived as a contributing factor, domestic producers must be prepared for growth, learning, learning, promoting cooperation or co-operation, creating opportunities for financial engagement.
The sector is relatively problematic, as far as the end-user is not being evaluated. One of the main risks is market outlets, where consumers' knowledge of healthy lifestyles is important, traditions.
Farm “knees” (Diana Andrejeva) from Gaigalavas parish deals with the processing of milk products in the preparation of various cheeses, butter. Domestic cheese with varied additives (caraway, dirt, basil, linseed, amoline, garlic, seed) is offered, including sweet domestic cheese, butter with and without additives, gel butter.
Nagļu parish farm “fishermen” is a member of Latgale and the European culinary heritage network for 10 years. The waiters, Anne and Janis Macani, specialized in the preparation of fish food. Here you can enjoy a delicious fish soup, smoked carp, a filled pike, a baked zandart, a fish cottle.
“Viļāni” cooperative the proposed milk production under the Bryunai brand is known not only by the people of the municipality. The company is certified as biological. That is why, especially at the beginning of the operation, there is a lack of understanding of the customers why the products have such a short term of use. People's knowledge and understanding of what is and what must be fresh, qualitative, safe for a safe product appears here.
The milk processing started in 2014 has developed successfully. The range of supply is streamlined and expanded. Almost all milk products are available to the purchaser – different types of cheese, cream, curd, butter, kephir, yoghurt with and without additives.
Andris Vishnevskis from Viļānu, THE participation of Dekšāres parish will be taken into account with cannabis production. In the absence of cannabis tea, hemp butter, oil, special accent on the new product, which is hemp musli batons. It is a powerful source of energy, healthy, contains large quantities of hemp seed. With diligence, knowledge and experience, Andra's family quickly gained recognition. The farm is commonly known as “Obelisk Farm”.
Latvian association “Latgolys Golds” with its extensive, positive activities both in Latvia and beyond, special comments are not required. It is only to see that energy, to hear the amount of knowledge, to feel the confidence that comes from the leader of the association Andra Meier, then understand what it means to be the patriot of his own land. The whole is simplicity. Also in the preparation of products by the association. Bread, fat, cheese, fish, pancakes, quasi - all simple and satile.
