The first thing you notice at the farm is well-groomed goats. Here, cheese is produced manually, using only same-day natural milk. Another special thing about the place is the Cheese Museum with photos, cheese-making tools and a large collection of cheese knives.
Gourmet routes
Gooood farm
Lemon Banana
At the outskirts of the industrial town of Sievierodonetsk, they grow bananas and other exotic plants: lemons, pineapples, and figs. The main purpose of the greenhouse is growing seedlings, not the fruit. That is why, after the tour you can take home a room-size lemon or banana plant.
Carpathian Buffalo
Carpathian cowboys — that is how the founders of the buffalo farm call themselves. Buffalo milk is healthy and easy to digest. Try and see for yourself! They offer for tasting local buffalo milk, paneer, home-made melted cheese, mozzarella, butter, sour cream and cottage cheese.
SliVino
Inspired by the history of the place where, back in XIX century, there was Bredikhine wine chateaux, Molchanovs built a traditional style winery and set up a vineyard. Later, SilVino became one of the first wineries in Ukraine to receive a license for craft wine production.
Chubynske ostrich
The ostrich farm is located quite close to Kyiv, and is quite large. You will find more than ostriches here: the farm has a mini zoo with raccoons, donkeys, a roe deer, peacocks, goat, and thoroughbred horses. You can pet many of the animals and feed them with special foods.
Gourmet Routes. 100 Craft Locations of Ukraine
Craft-style and tasty — that is how you can briefly describe Ukrainian farms and small food and drink producers. “Gourmet Routes. 100 Craft Locations of Ukraine” is a gastro guide that will help tourists looking for ideas for gourmet journeys. The guide lists 100 local craft companies producing wine, cheese, honey, beer, meat, vegetables, fruits, snails, and oysters. At each of the locations, a traveller can get a tour and a tasting session, meet the farmers, and see how organic products are made. The gastro guide consists of five chapters: “South”, “Carpathian Mountains”, “West”, “East”, “Centre and North”.
Gastro map
The first ever gastro map of Ukrainian craft producers will help gourmet tourists to familiarize themselves with foods and drinks right where they are produced, and the producers — to find admirers for their products.
