Fruits and berries are the main ingredients of the summer menu. If they have the opportunity, people try to grow berries and fruits in their homesteads or gardens, often choosing the most diverse fruit trees and berry bushes to enjoy the variety of flavors. Klaipėda district farmers mother Snieguolė Rumbutienė and son Deividas Rumbutis were also looking for different tastes, and the desire to taste their own grown berries and fruits developed into a business.
The taste of summer at the “Slēnio uga” farm
In 2019, Snieguolė Rumbutienė planted several berry bushes (honeysuckle, raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, quince, sea buckthorn, gooseberry, cranberry) and other fruit trees – actinidia, honeydew, apricot, plum, cherry, cherry, pear, apple – on the 0.2 ha farm. . Since then, everything has been grown responsibly, sustainably and, of course, with a lot of love. This is how the “Slēnio uga” farm was born.
“We were very tempted by the fruits and berries that we couldn’t find to buy, at least in the seaside region, that is, blueberries, medlieves and actinidia berries. We tasted these berries for the first time from our garden. We were not disappointed with the taste!” said S. Rumbutienė.
Although the farm is still very young, it is expanding rapidly. In 2021, the area of the farm was increased to 1 ha. It was additionally planted with edible honeysuckle, rowanberry, amelianki, raspberry and snowberry bushes. In 2022, his son D. Rumbutis joined the farm.
Most of the berries grown on the farm can be called a superfood because of the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants they contain. For example, edible honeysuckle berries are rich in vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system and protect the body from oxidative stress. They can also have an anti-inflammatory effect due to phenolic compounds, which are strong antioxidants that reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.
All berries and fruits sold at the “Slēnio uogas” farm are not heat-treated, do not contain any sweeteners, added sugar or dyes, retain their natural health-benefiting properties and taste, and have a beneficial effect on human health. Fruits and berries are very useful for humans due to their high nutritional value and abundance of important nutrients. Fruits and berries contain various vitamins (for example, vitamin C, vitamin A, folic acid) and minerals (potassium, magnesium, etc.) that are necessary for the normal functioning of the body. These nutritional components help strengthen the immune system, maintain healthy skin, vision, bone strength and other important body functions.
in 2023 in the spring, when D. Rumbučius decided that the farm would not be limited to the cultivation of berry bushes and fruit trees, the first seeds were sown shiitake mushrooms (lit. edible gum or simply shiitake) are positively evaluated for the nutrients and health benefits they contain. These mushrooms are nutritious, low in calories and contain many important substances needed by the human body.
The product is marked with the “Keyhole” symbol
On July 7, 2023, in cooperation with the public health office of the Klaipėda district municipality, farmer D. Rumbutis marked all the products naturally grown and sold on his farm with the “Keyhole” symbol. This sign helps the buyer to recognize healthier products on the store shelves, encourages the consumption of healthy products that contain less sugar, salt, saturated fat, trans fat, as well as no food sweeteners, and more dietary fiber is preserved in grain-containing products.
