Georgy Bogachev: Since childhood, I love dumplings and tobacco chicken - this is how our farm began
. Dairy farming, sheep breeding, milk processing, cheese making. Growing broilers and supplying them to expensive stores in St. Petersburg. When growing a broiler, antibiotics are not used, we feed with natural feed, chickens grow slowly, but they are natural and expensive.
Recreation center, ecotourism, farm-park - all this is Iloranta

At the moment, the farm, as an independent unit, does not generate income. But if we consider everything as a whole: a farm + accommodation for tourists, then the system is stable and profitable. There are no subsidies from other businesses.

A tour of the farm was given to us by Kolesnikov Andrey Nikolaevich, the farm manager.
A small farm with a total population of 22 Ayrshire cows. The farm uses artificial insemination
Let's see how the maintenance of dairy cows of the Ayrshire breed is arranged. How the cowshed is arranged, how the walking is arranged, how manure is cleaned. Let's go to the milk block and see its device.
Let's see the milk processing shop (the cheese factory will be a separate video). What percentage of milk fat is bottled? Is milk pasteurized and milk normalized?

Sheep breeding. How many sheep and what breeds are on the Iloranta farm? How does mating happen?
We look at the device of the sheepfold. Finnish sheepfold technology with a raised floor - I see this for the first time.
We look at how the slaughterhouse for sheep is arranged and equipped. Where is the lamb shipped to?
