Abolition of serfdom
Tsar Alexander II signed legal acts – “Manifest” and “Regulations” on February 19, 1861. After that the land of our ancestors, the Vyskupaiciai, was divided into patrimonies.

Today we work everyday to please the organically minded people of Lithuania, while also looking to export more of our produce through a network of farsighted organic sellers.
