Upmaļi is a biological farm that specialises in medicinal plants that are used to produce teas, hydrolats, infusions, substances with glycerine, etc.  The garden covers eight hectares, including various uncommon useful plants such as the broad whitetop, various herbs, rhubarb plants that date back to the age of aristocrats, as well as old orchards, including a rare apple cultivar that is not found anywhere else in Latvia.  Four types of colourful wild apple trees have grown on the farm since the 1930s, and three of them still produce fruits.  Old gooseberry plants may also date back to the aristocratic era, as is the case with three types of lilac and some ten types of cherries.  The farm also has local types of apple trees, most of them planted by the owner of the farm in the 1930s.  More recent are Greek nut trees.
