13. In September, the Zaube Wild Food Festival once again brought visitors together in the grounds of Zaube Manor to celebrate, alongside master chefs, farmers, hunters, anglers, nature enthusiasts and craftspeople, to celebrate the knowledge of nature’s bounty – both that passed down through the generations and newly acquired. For the second time, the Latvian Nature Fund also took part with activities under the “Natural Meadow Product” brand.
Visitors were able to discover the flavours of the meadows by sampling natural meadow products – various sheep’s milk cheeses from “Piena aitas bio”, air-dried beef from “Neganti gardi”, as well as learn about the “Dabisko plavu produkts” brand.
How can you improve plant diversity in your meadow? What plants are characteristic of a natural meadow? Meadow owners and other interested parties put these and other questions to meadow expert Zane Līkaja. Those keen to learn tried their hand at spinning the wheel of fortune and, together with representatives from the Latvian Nature Fund, sought answers to various questions relating to natural meadows. Both young and old also took the opportunity to view the meadow and its business potential through virtual reality glasses.
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.
