Alvis Mikāns, the owner of the “Upmalas” farm, and his family have set up a farm in Mežvidi Parish, Ludza Municipality, with the aim of rearing beef cattle. The land available for farming and the desire to preserve natural values determined the farm’s focus – extensive livestock farming on permanent grassland. The family rears cattle that are crosses of various breeds. ZS “Upmalas” is a member of the “Latvijas liellops” cooperative; beef from cattle reared on the farm can be purchased via the cooperative’s online shop.
