«Natural Meadow Product» – it’s not just a label. It’s a mark of high-quality produce, appreciated by both fine-dining restaurants and the most discerning customers. Farmer Pērs Vinge Petersens knows how to look after natural meadows whilst also rearing beef cattle.
Organically certified farm Rukši Ltd This practice is successfully implemented through the rearing of beef cattle. The farm is situated in South Kurzeme and manages land – including natural grasslands – across several parishes and even within the Liepāja Lake Nature Reserve. Under the leadership of the farm owner, Pērs Vinge Petersen, the farm ensures a full production cycle from calf rearing to serving the meat at the table, and its produce is popular with both individual customers and restaurants.
