ĀBELĪTES / A LIVING LANDSCAPE AND DAILY WORK
Natural meadows
and EU-interest habitats.
The farmers report around 40 hectares of EU-interest habitats at Ābelītes. Caring for them is part of our everyday grazing management.
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.
According to the owners, the farm has around 40 hectares of EU-interest habitats. Landscape photographs are not an official boundary map.
