our sandbox is called pig paradise, we all joke and tell everyone that kids go into this sandbox and piglets come out, because here you can pump water, run water through gutters, dig kasha-malasha, build streams and small cities. it seems to me that children here should feel some kind of freedom and their childhood happiness, which gives them... goats are our favorite girlfriends, we have long dreamed of them, watched the funniest videos with goats, always imagined how they would jump on our farm, frolic and amuse all the guests including us, the goats appeared with us thanks to my husband, he...

just gave them to me one day he arrived by bus, said that there was a surprise unloaded three goats, since then the goats have been living with us, delighting us with their games, their moods, they kiss, then give in, our such a small spectacle, a small interactive, naper. we are a family of farmers from the kobrin district of the breza region and you are on the farm of grandfather's farm. we

are engaged in the production of vegetables, mainly early vegetables, we are on the lawn near our greenhouse space and farmhouse. we got this land back in 2015 in a very deplorable state, in a very neglected condition, and here there was a mixture of young forest and... some construction waste was brought here, and in order to start some work here we had to work hard and for more than one year, our first experience in farming, beginning dumps, many local residents working with my parents, they are also farmers, but they grow apples, we managed to work with them, try what it is work, at some point decided to develop independently, separate, go our own way.

having received a wonderful experience, seeing how those same apples and various vegetables grow. the first crop in our farm was zucchini, we cultivated it back in my wife's parents' farm, and to this day zucchini remains our number one crop, but since then we have not stopped experimenting and thanks to this we currently cultivate such crops as asparagus. zucchini, zucchini, sweet corn, nutmeg pumpkins in large quantities assortment, also iceberg lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, multi-colored, well, and multi-colored cabbage too, so this year we will finish the season with apples, growing vegetables, we developed, put the territory of the farm in order and a very picturesque place was emerging. the children grew up with us at

work and we had to somehow occupy them, we gradually got a hill, a bench, a small sandbox on the farm, which over time was scaled up, today we have a beautiful territory for you could come with your family, our friends or us, and have a good time, in my case i didn't have to look for andrey in discos or in the...

region, he was born and raised there until he was 18, we've been living here for 16 years, building a family, building a farm, living and working happily. i was born into a family of a teacher and a driver, who in the difficult nineties became partly businessmen. and we had the most wonderful childhood, parents, in those difficult times , gave everything they could, invested in us, we have, i personally have an example of a good education, that you need to invest in children from the very first day, and it will always come back, so we had a wonderful childhood in work, i grew up in the village, we had a personal

subsidiary farm, we did all the work around the house, near the house, i also have a brother, 2 years younger than me, so in a family of ... i want to raise my children, at least no worse than my parents raised us, my parents are farmers, i always saw perfectly well what kind of work it is, what kind of work it is, i always saw what risks, what concerns, but our parents always tried to give us

an education, and try ourselves in different hobbies, and of course, involved in different jobs, so that we could do everything, but with the wish that we would not need it in life. that one thing that i can say for sure is that i could never imagine in my life that i would be a farmer, i grew up in a picturesque place, there was a lot of forest nearby, i saw myself in forestry, i graduated from the university in this specialization, but by a lucky chance i met natalka, my wife, she meets my needs according to my dreams doubly so, because as life shows. she is a muse and inspiration, and i am already a reliable performer.

of belarusian housewives for hundreds of years. we have never used grated tortilla potatoes as minced meat. this is interesting, this is very interesting. everything, but not quite, carefully, here you can catch gastronomic inspiration, the thighs will go into the stuffing, only the soft part, and we do not get rid of the bones.

and we are in one of the fields where an experiment is being conducted on such a crop as artichoke, and you can see artichoke, a mediterranean plant that liked our belarusian climate. our land, and we have been experimenting with this crop for the fourth year, gaining experience and , accordingly, forming a food culture in our buyer, in this our retail chains kindly help us, and because this is a good tool for as many buyers, people as possible to get acquainted with this wonderful crop, which is very useful. for digestion, for the liver and

in early spring, well, in early spring, in may, you can already enjoy this delicacy. artichoke, uh, this is a plant of the asteraceae family, that is, it is essentially a flower, its main purpose, uh, medicinal, and it is the inflorescence that is used for food, in a closed state, and in order to cook it, uh, it needs to be cleaned of leaves, the inflorescence of the plant is used for food in a closed form, it needs to be cut off with a leg of about 4-5 cm, this is how it looks, in order to cook artichoke, it needs to be cleaned of leaves, get to the yellow ones, which are tender, young, then we cut it in half, the upper part and clean out the fluff that is at the bottom, this is the bottom with

short leaves, it is used in food, different recipes are used to prepare arteshok, it can be baked in the oven, it can be fried deliciously with garlic and simmered under the lid, and we really love the second recipe, our family actively prepares arteshok this way, arteshok is a very useful plant for the liver. is a good choleretic agent, arteshok is quite interesting plant in agricultural technology, we were first prompted to cultivate it by an experiment with the first crop - this is with parsley, then further in the process of negotiations with partners, we were interested in arteshk, they offered us seeds to try and we started to work with it, agricultural technology includes sowing seeds for seedlings. mine - then half of the winter spring seedlings need to be kept in a greenhouse, then comes

planting in the ground, after which in about 2 months you can harvest the first arteshk crop, in the mediterranean arteshk is considered perennial plant, unfortunately, our first experience was not like that, the next year nothing came up for us, and we stubbornly continued to cultivate arteshok. only after a year, because the season was lost, the deadlines passed, in principle, in the fourth year we reached the result that we saved most of the plantations as a backup, we sowed new plants this year, so we are determined to continue our experiment and improve the health of our belarusians. as far as we know and from our experience, in the country we were the first to start

cultivating arteshok, and so far in 4 years the only ones, but it would be interesting if some other producers appeared, because together it is more interesting, it would be cool to exchange experiences, together, mm together in one word it is easier to go... some goal - i would also like to add that the main product of sartichok is its inflorescence, in this form, but a wonderful side effect at the end of the growing season are its flowers of a beautiful lilac purple color they please the hearts of lovely ladies, as experience has shown, the belarusian land is ready to accept any experiments, the seed is important and

a lot of work. we really wanted to show the kids how a hen lays an egg, how easy it is to find them, our eggs are beautiful, colorful and they make a special impression on the children, separate

delights, we encountered the fact that one day a friend called us and said that my child at 4 years old had not ... seen chickens, can we come to visit you? at first i was surprised that at 4 years old a child had not seen a real chicken, had not fed it grain, but on the other hand, if they live on the fourth floor, in the city center, where can they get this chicken find? i think, on grandfather's mornings, before we started farming, i personally worked in minsk, at a design institute, we designed

forestry roads, for 2 years, while my wife was finishing her studies, and... then she was assigned to brest, i changed my place of work, we worked, i worked in a private concrete business, i, young at 21, had the opportunity to set up a concrete plant from scratch in an open field, it was an interesting experience, and also for about 2 years we worked in brest, this location was located, then we moved on maternity leave, in our village. parents, where our path in farming actually began, at first we gained experience in our parents' farm, and then after a few years we grew up, became bolder, gained experience and decided to open our own, we managed to live for some time in minsk, while it was student years,

we lived for a year in brest, and there i worked as a specialist in... traditional culture methodologists and from there i went on maternity leave, and we have two children, boys 10 years old and girls almost seven, this year she goes to school, eh, it seems to me that we don’t do any special programs for education, our children just live this life with us, and they see our work, they always join in with pleasure, we respect them very much, we see their interests, we see the musicality of our... boy, we see how creative our girl is and we absolutely don’t want to break anything in them, but it makes me very happy that they always join in our work with an open heart, they gladly help us with the housework, they love the animals that are on our farm, but we also easily let go with our hearts, play with friends and learn something new outside the farm.

i would like to add to my wife's words that we have unique children, each different in their own way. as they say, two, two parents are the same, but the children are absolutely different, in interests, in character, and i believe that our biggest task is to reveal their potential, and if they can realize themselves in life, perhaps we will be the happiest. i can say that the family hobby is farming, because it is 100% a way of life, it is not a profession. it's not education, it's 24x7, it's farming , it's a way of life, definitely, but we are very lucky that farming is really multifaceted.

having experience of living in big cities like minsk, brest, we really like kobrin, especially our village, and... because we found our little piece of heaven on earth, our way of life is very much in our spirit, a small

city, close to the borders, and compact, with a rich infrastructure, ideal for living, raising children and at the same time spending a minimum of time on travel.

i see that it doesn’t matter, it turns out, the stamp in the passport has little significance, and in order to show your attitude to people, to

the land, and it seems to me that the real manifestation of patriotism, care for your citizens, is care for their lives, their way of life, their health, we... we grow vegetables, this will probably be our main message, and we want every person, every resident, every belarusian to have the right to clean, tasty, honest food, our main rule is that food should in no way take away health, because it is the main thing for our body, our fuel, our ideas, our accomplishments. that's why we try to build the production process so that we have time to experiment, learn and

make our food to the maximum. we always have to cope with many factors, that's why i consider the main advantage to be that we, as persons representing, yes grandfather's utara, our family, we don't have beds for ourselves, we eat products from our fields. from any box, container, from a wedding, probably, that's what we are proud of, that's what, probably, later in life, we, for which we will never regret in life, we boldly experiment, we grow vegetables for the body and also develop our territory for the soul for our own, for those who visit our farm, so i think that ... this is

a real love for the homeland for people and for people, well, people are the country, so without people nowhere.

we are now exactly where the city of minsk once began, where we will go, first of all , safety, and you say where, you are driving, the next stop is astersov, let's go, bye, and let's set off on an exciting journey.
