Jaunkalēji – a bakery

A bakery and a place for workshops are quietly working in the Vidzeme highlands, where wholemeal bread and sourdough bread are baked in strong Latvian traditions!

The offer includes a 1-hour farm tour program, a baker's story, a tasting and/or a 4-hour long bread baking program: bread kneading, heating the oven, making bread rolls and tasting. The owner of "Jaunkalēji" Andrejs Broks believes that bread is a living being. Sometimes you need to give it all 24 hours to rise properly, and only then can you knead and bake it. The best practices of no rush and an individual approach are applied. Read more about Andrejs in the "Human Stories” section.
Bread purchase is available. Group meals can also be arranged.
The place is suitable for visitors of different ages. A playground for children is available.
The place is best available for small groups. While the bread is baking, you can visit the neighboring farm "Zīles" (the farm deals with sheep farming) or the birthplace of Colonel O. Kalpaks "Liepsalas".
