The new Gundegas research farm
Large cranberries were first grown in the Laugas Swamp in Latvia in 1992. Today there are six types of cranberries that were originated in Latvia. Among them is a hybrid between large American cranberries and Latvian cowberries, and it is known as the noble cranberry. You can attend lectures, receive consultations, tour the swamp, and purchase cranberries, cranberry products, as well as purchase turf that is needed to grow your own cranberries.
An integrated farm with 22 ha of cranberries, producing 60 tonnes of large cranberries each year. In the Lauga peat swamp, the farm produces eight types of cranberries and bearberries registered in America and six created in Latvia. The farm has its own processing technologies to produce berry candies, syrups, juices and teas.
