Olga Truganina. "Annushkina farm"

About the farm all you can immediately understand, just observing the animals. Enter the paddock and they race to catch up with you, a stranger, to say Hello. Prigrevica crawl under the belly of well-fed buffaloes close to them sheep, pulling the muzzle of the beautiful cows of Schwyz breed. With all his rush curious Guinea fowl and geese. A revival of hospitality, in one word. Only bound separately the bull glances askance – a stranger in the paddock is puzzling.

In just a few years, she managed not only to establish a dairy farm of the canons, but also to win the trust of customers, whose number is constantly increasing. The farm grows. Its employees (until 18) are provided with housing and food, production's sparkly clean. Rare picture – all relaxed, happy and busy.

  About the beginning of "I feel bad for the children around us is hooked on chemistry. It's not the milk that is sold in stores. I grew up on natural products. We are from Samara region, and problems with milk never had. The store didn't buy it. My parents always had a few goats, their chickens. There probably would have lived, if not the 90s. My dad Alexander Druginin – education livestock specialist, mother (in honor of it, our farm is called "annushkina) – a nurse. Also dad – professional football player (from 1990 to 1994 was the head coach of the Samara football club "Eugene") and entrepreneur. But in the 90s the problems started and we had to leave. First North, then closer to Moscow. Had to survive elementary, and so was born the idea of a small farm to feed his family. 10 years ago I bought 1.5 hectares of land in Mozhaisk district of the Moscow region and brought the first animals 6 cows and 20 goats. Then agreed – procurement and raising of animals and food for them will be the father, and I shall learn production techniques. I always wanted something creative, and here I found my expression."

   

 

 

 

 

  About the study "When we realized that we can provide our dairy products not only yourself but the people around us, there was a following problem: milk we have, what to do with it – do not know. The Internet is not the answer, it takes practice and recipes. It is unlikely I would have moved in this direction, if not for the nice man who met me on the path of life. This is Natalia Derbeneva, which is already more than 16 years, manages the organic garden at the children's rehabilitation center "Inspiration" in the village of Nikolskoye in the Ruza district. Through training she passed many farmers, Mary Koval, Natalia – absolutely selfless and a lot of knowledgeable people. Not only taught me everything he knows, but given the huge number of unique old Russian recipes. We have successfully used. Early as you did? Put grandma to skachivaetsya milk in protoplennoy oven in certain temperature. And we do, only instead of the stove oven. And so forth."

About the farm "our Farm grows. We now have 80 cows, 100 bulls, 5 buffaloes, 150 goats, 120 sheep, and poultry – Guinea fowl, pheasants, chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys. Grazing all together, without a leash. Cows, mostly brown Swiss dairy and beef breeds. They really like us – high yield of milk, milk of excellent quality, with a slight yellowish tinge. In addition, shvitsy resistant to various diseases, leukemia, for example, which is often exposed to the suburban cattle. Feed just their own hay and grain from reliable suppliers. With mowing there are no problems, we have a decent amount of land leased specifically for this purpose. At the farm there is a laboratory in which we continuously monitor the quality of our products. For example, we see that the fat content of milk falls, it's time to feed the cows vegetables. Make molasses from sugar beets and watered her hay – turns out cows have dessert."

  About the products "In the dairy case all hands are different and products are also copyrighted. Milk, sour-dairy products (we produce the whole range) – it all depends on the mass of the nuances. We are all the time, invent and experiment. There are things that the other farmers I have ever seen. For example, our oil with various additives – green-garlic, olives, capers, chocolate, pepper, roasted on the grill. Love him very much. Or desserts with fresh berries – strawberries, raspberries, berries, cherries, cherries. The berries are, incidentally, also own – grow in the Lipetsk region. So, probably, few people make a living berry, of course, increases the acidity and reduces the shelf life of the product. Therefore, these things we produce mainly custom. Still doing young cheese with nuts, herbs, paprika. Soon, I think, will reach and hard cheeses – cheese-making I learned from the Italians and something can be done now.

In addition, "annushkina farm" produces home-made noodles with spinach, beets, turmeric, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, cuttlefish ink, and quail eggs. First, from natural foods is mashed potatoes, on the basis of which then knead the dough for noodles.

   



The friendliness and accuracy.

 





 

 

 

 

  About the business and plans "Despite all the successes, we have not yet achieved profitability. Have to invest more than they receive. High season – 4 months, when all the products are swept away vacationers. Then you have to slow down and work mainly on order. We carry products in Moscow. Now the interest has become more and, I think, in any foreseeable future, we will come to zero at least. For this it is necessary first of all to expand the production – want to increase the herd of cows to 100 cows. And just be sure to introduce partial automation of the recycling process. Must be closed cycles, at least the bottling of milk. This is the thing – the bowl manually every cherpanuli, two cherpanuli, and before you know it, milk is not 72 hours, as he expected, and less. Hands still. In General, the task is to stabilize production that the buyer is guaranteed to receive what he promised. The customer don't explain that if milk in a thunderstorm, the milk taste bad.

And very proud of the purchase of Buffalo and next year will do the right mozzarella. We do plan to build a separate cheese shop here. Well, of course, a subsidy from the state to develop to, but so far can only rely on themselves. By the way, looking for his team engineer – single-handedly is difficult, and specialists who know how to work with life milk, and not chemistry – is not enough. Looking for a soulmate".

Pro-life "something changes. Directly noticeable. Maybe because of these sanctions, who knows... But something felt different. More recently, because no interest to us was not, and now even veterinary services are moving to the dialogue. Previously, only categorically what not to do, worked hard, and now suggest, looks into the problem. And the people were drawn. The small shops that used only Snickers-Mars traded, now carry farm products. As this is not rejoice!? I'm generally happy and feel that much more can. Well, when people began to think that food is not just to fill the stomach. This is the chain through food proper health, and with him the spiritual state".published
