The Fair «Agrorus», on the venue of which the Leningrad farmers have comfortably settled down, will last until September 8. And for those who plan to taste the gifts of Region 47, we give a few tips.
On Fish Day, Thursday, start your shopping trip with trout delicacies. Smoked, salted, frozen fish, caviar – there is everything and even more.
«Our trout are grown in cages in open Ladoga. That’s why they don’t smell like mud. We smoke the fish on alder chips, without preserving agents and additives», said a representative of the KALA-RANTA Company.
If your specialty is meat, you will also have something to profit from. At the Fair, there are many delicacies – from sausages to lard. And in the tent of the MPC «Potanino», pates and natural stewed beef, pork, turkey of premium class are offered. Here, «Goat Farm» pleases the eye and the stomach with abundance of cheeses and yogurts made of goat milk.
«All our products undergo the strictest quality control. Therefore, we are not ashamed of them. Cheeses are often taken for children, because goat milk is hypoallergenic and healthy», assure the company’s representatives.
Hearts of lovers of sweets will sing, as well. For example, the Gatchina confectionery factory «Neva» offers marshmallows, pastille, marmalade, sweets and other sweet things made of natural ingredients. There is even sugar-free glazed marshmallow with black currant.
Be sure to try tea of Chamaenerion to be gathered in the fields of Luzhsky District. In this tea, there is no Thein, so even for pregnant women, nursing mothers, young children and allergy sufferers can drink it. And legends are already made about beneficial properties of Chamaenerion.
At the Leningrad Region Farmers’ Fair, this symbol of Russia is represented exclusively by private farms. No factory processing. But there are many fragrant additions – cloudberry leaves, lemongrass, mint, chamomile and much more.
Well, for gardeners, seedlings and seeds have been brought to EXPOFORUM. So the farm «Turovo» offers Danish rooting roses. They bloom for 3 months and never produce rosehip. There are also chrysanthemums that independently take the shape of a large ball, without any curly cut. And the real pride is garlic «Komsomolets», large, fist-sized, vigorous, bred during the Soviet Union. It is irreplaceable for marinading and pickling.
You may get hungry while shopping. At the Fair, not to just sound yummy, there is a food court with meat and fish dishes: kebabs, burgers, steaks, shawarma... You can lick your fingers.
In general, fly in, hurry up, buy the masterpieces! The Fair is open daily until 19 o’clock. Free shuttle buses run from Moskovskaya Metro Station to EXPOFORUM.
