All of the EthnoProduct Group farms are located far away from industrial production centers, surrounded by forests and pastures which are free of pesticides and any other type of agrichemicals. No GMO is used directly or indirectly in the course of the agricultural production at EthnoProduct. The EthnoProduct farms grant cows abundant access to fresh air and open-field pasturing in accordance with international organic farming requirements, as well as provide cows’ with the on-farm produced organic feed, natural preventive veterinary treatment and non-abusive keeping.

The cows’ feed consists exclusively of organically certified types: fresh pasture grass & herbs, straw, silage and a bit of whole grains. The EthnoProduct farms do not practice force-feeding of the animals. The cows do not receive any artificial growth hormones, stimulants or feed additives including appetite stimulants. All on-farm born calves are fed organic fresh milk during at least the first 12 weeks.

The internal production of organic feed by the EthnoProduct farms is done according to the principles of sustainable farming without any use of agrochemicals or GMO’s.

The milk at EthnoProduct farms is cooled immediately after milking in order to preserve milk’s natural antibacterial properties and prolong the shelf-life of the milk. We do not interfere with the contents of the milk. The milk fats remain natural: between 3,2 and 4,2% depending on the season, lactation period and other natural factors..

The EthnoProduct’s cycles of production are carefully controlled by the certifying authorities who inspect the soil conditions, the husbandry norms, storage, transportation, distribution etc.

All of the production stages at EthnoProduct today are certified in accordance with the European Union requirements and controlled by the Institute for Market Ecology (IMO, Switzerland).

At EthnoProduct, we acknowledge and foster the crucial microbiological balance in the soil, as well as the natural bond between the plants and the animals. By taking good care about the soil and the animals, the EthnoProduct farms strive to produce premium quality and safe organic foods.

As cities grew, increasing demand for the production of grains, vegetables, dairy and meat made farmers concentrate on cultivating particular crops or dedicated raising of certain type of  livestock. Later, industrial production began taking over pushing out family farmers out of the food production business. But the evolution of agriculture is demanding the return to the organic methods of cultivation and the principles of natural and fair distribution of resources.

Modern agriculture is the use of land to convert petroleum into food.
Prof. Albert Barlett, University of Colorado

The modern agronomy in conventional farming is no longer considering soil as the ultimate source of nutrients for the plants healthy growth. Intensive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides tried to put the soil and the living components of the soil behind. As more and more farmers begin to realize that agrochemical companies sell nothing more than substitutes of the natural fertilizers and the biological means of crops protection, organic farming methods re-establish in the industry with more advanced organic practices such as bio-dynamics.

The organic evolution in agriculture is taking place naturally and without any aggressive marketing. Organic farming is a natural response to the growing awareness of the consumers around the world about the nutrient values of food they eat, living  in the urban conditions to which agriculture had put them to.
