On September 13th, beneath the grandeur of the historic Baltosios Vokės Manor, residents and guests of Vilnius District gathered to celebrate the 30th Harvest Festival – a vibrant tradition that honors the unity of local cultures, gratitude for the land, and those who care for it.
In recognition of their dedication to the land, commitment to farming, and respect for cultural traditions, Vilnius District Municipality paid tribute to the true heroes of the day – its farmers.
Mayor Robert Duchnevič presented acknowledgments and financial awards to 23 outstanding farmers representing different elderships.
Among them was Ina Grecka, proudly representing Zujūnai Eldership – a GRASS CEILING Living Lab participant and a woman farmer known for her hard work, innovation, and community engagement.
These awards are more than a token of appreciation – they are a sincere acknowledgment of the ongoing efforts and valuable contribution of farmers to the well-being and sustainability of the Vilnius region.
