ĀBELĪTES / A LIVING LANDSCAPE AND DAILY WORK
Natural meadows
and EU-interest habitats.
Our farm has around 40 hectares of EU-interest habitats. Caring for them is part of our daily work with the pastures.
01 / OUR GRAZING CYCLE
A meadow needs grazing and time to rest.
Rotating grazing areas gives the grassland time to regrow. Daily animal care and meadow management are parts of the same farming system.
02 / ANIMALS AND LANDSCAPE
Different animals,
different roles.
Cattle, sheep and goats complement one another on the farm. Sheep help graze harder-to-manage areas, while goats help control shrubs and young growth.
Our farm has around 40 hectares of EU-interest habitats.
