Geology on the plate
GEOfood is food grown or produced sustainably in Geopark and its environs. The geology and natural conditions of the Geopark influence food traditions and the offering of raw ingredients in the area.
GEOfood products include berries, mushrooms and game found in the mires and forests of the area, fish in the area waterbodies and local agricultural products as well as processed food and pre-packaged meals. Explore the geology of the area with your taste buds!
