Confirmed to participate this weekend:
Jay Robert Klouz – originally American, Klouz arrived to Russia in the 90s. For three years he has lived in the countryside just below Solnechnogorsky, there he produces cheeses made from cows, sheep and goats’ milk. Jay will bring around 20 grades of cheese from his own production to the market this weekend.
 
Anatoly Vorontsov and Sergey Kuznetsov - founders of a farm which cultivates klariyevy catfish. Their farm is located in a reserve on the banks of a trout river, fish are cultivated without the use of any additives or dyes. 

We also look forward to special products from "sacred" lands: a brotherhood from the countryside – the monastic Uspensky farmstead of Optin Pustyn will bring with them several types of cheese; as well as some of the monastery’s home-made syrups, juices and jams. 

Here is more about the farmers and their products!
