For the bread baking workshop, the sweet-sour pastry is already prepared the day before, and the oven is heated two hours before the guests’ arrival. During the workshop, guests bake their own bread loaf. Its special taste and aroma is provided by the oven, which is more than 70 years old, as well as bakery tools preserved from the past, that are almost 200 years old. The bread oven is swept with a juniper broom. The farm has received the Latvian Cultural Heritage award for keeping bread baking traditions.
