We enjoyed a colourful Saturday, 25 October, at the Hanza platform – together with our producers of natural meadow products and Novadu Garšu We took part in the Regional Harvest Festival!
Visitors to the event had the chance to sample Meadow tea and Meadow honey, to learn more through conversations about natural meadows, natural meadow products and where to buy them, as well as to experience the meadow virtually.
During the event, the Latvian Rural and Advisory Centre (LLKC), as part of the “Novada Garša” project, ceremoniously and respectfully took over the ‘Natural Meadow Product’ brand, originally established by the Latvian Nature Fund”. From 2026, the brand will operate under the name LLKC Novada Garša. The Latvian Nature Fund will continue to be involved as a guarantor of quality and guardian of the brand’s values – it will retain its supervisory role over the brand – including the certification and inspection of meadow product producers.
To date, 41 producers of meadow-based products and service providers have been awarded the “Natural Meadow Product” label. That’s more than 400 different meadow-related products and services!
The number of meadow products and their enthusiasts continues to grow, which means that more and more natural meadows are being cherished and nurtured!
The owner of the "Natural Meadow Product" label is Latvian Nature Fund.
The brand was created as part of the LIFE19IPE/LV/000010 LIFE-IP LatViaNature project, with the aim of promoting business initiatives for the sustainable management of natural grasslands.
The project "Optimisation of the Management and Stewardship of Natura 2000 Protected Areas" (LIFE19IPE/LV/000010 LIFE-IP LatViaNature) is being implemented with financial support from the European Union’s LIFE programme and the State Regional Development Agency.
