TOP local food producers in Pärnu County
The food culture in the county grows out of the local nature, a slow rhythm of life, and producers who work in small batches with a clear purpose. Food here is not created in a hurry – it is rooted in seasonality, patience, and an understanding of where the ingredients come from.
Beekeeping is a world of its own. Aeglane hetk invites you to discover the diversity of honey – here you can jar your own honey and experience how each flavour reflects the nature of Pärnu County and depends on the flowers from which bees collect nectar.
