Our second exchange day started with cider – we visited Tori Cider Farm. As our exchange partners are not focused on making cider, it was interesting for them to observe the special equipment and cider-making process of an enterprise which is still in active process of development.
At Energy Farm we saw herb-growing and extra services that come with it. Guests complimented the wholeness of the complex and its architectural solution.
At Piesta Kuusikaru Farm hosts told us about making apple juice and other apple products, also about the history of the farm.
