At Täpsuland, you will be welcomed by the hostess Terje and Betty the cow. The hostess’s day does not begin with a cup of coffee, but with a milking bucket. While most people are still waking up, life at Täpsuland is already well underway – the cow is waiting to be milked, the animals need looking after and the children need to get ready for school.
But Täpsuland is not simply a household with a cow far away near the border. It is a place where real life is not hidden away, but shared. Every morning, something authentic happens here that is rarely seen elsewhere anymore – a cow is milked by hand. Here you can see with your own eyes and meet for yourself Estonia’s most famous cow, Betty, familiar to many from the popular live-streamed milking sessions. They say that when the morning milking at Täpsuland is over, something more than peaceful silence remains in the air. Something that makes time stand still for a moment and lets you notice how life really flows.
For Seto Kostipäiv, Täpsuland opens its yard and its heart. What we offer here is not just food, but an experience. Food made from the heart, the old-fashioned way, using local ingredients.
At Täpsuland, you can scratch the famous Betty between the horns with your own hand, watch the farm animals and birds, and hear stories about how it is possible to run a farm alongside a full-time job, training, family life and hobbies. And before you know it, you may find yourself right in the middle of an everyday farm chore.
At Täpsuland, children will find plenty to discover and lots of places to play, while adults can slow down in the nostalgic farm setting, rocking in a rocking chair and enjoying a cup of coffee with warm, frothy, freshly milked milk.
Täpsuland is a place where country life is not staged – it is truly lived.
And if, as you leave, you find yourself wishing you could come back for just a little longer… know that the feeling is perfectly normal.
