Where better to experience Latvia’s magnificent spring than out in nature!

When visiting Latvian farms, guests are offered both recreational activities and opportunities to get creative and active themselves. The work ethic is still highly valued on these farms, and you’ll see that everywhere you go. You’ll be welcomed by hospitable hosts who’ll introduce you to their beloved animals, demonstrate their craftsmanship, and let children make all sorts of things themselves. At these farms, you’re sure to be treated to local dishes and snacks unique to each place. If you’d like to go horseback riding—that’s possible, too! Beekeepers have prepared some particularly interesting activities—the bravest visitors are invited to take a peek into the mysterious world of bees.

Choose the offer you like best and come visit!
