Dimdiņi combines home-grown vegetables, natural fermentation and modern production technologies.
We preserve flavours loved for generations while creating new ones for modern lifestyles.
Some flavours remain timeless. Others are waiting to be discovered anew. That’s why, alongside traditional braised cabbage, we create kimchi, fermented vegetables, salads, sauces and other flavours for the modern table.
That is why we work carefully to preserve the best of every vegetable—its natural flavour and valuable qualities.
We ferment, pickle, marinate and prepare vegetables, turning them into a delicious and wholesome part of everyday life.
Dimdiņi is one of the largest vegetable growing and processing companies in the Baltics.
Around 150 hectares are dedicated to growing white cabbage, Chinese cabbage and kale. Our own grown cabbages are used to make sauerkraut, braised cabbage, marinated salads and other vegetable products.
Over the years, we have selected the cabbage varieties best suited to Latvia’s growing conditions and developed a carefully monitored process from seed to finished product.
Developing new products, maintaining high quality and using modern technologies are all part of our daily work.
From field to finished product, we manage every stage ourselves to ensure consistent quality and flavour.
Cabbage lies at the heart of what we do.
We grow, ferment, braise and transform it into a wide range of products, drawing on generations of experience.
The experience we have gained over the years guarantees high quality from seed to finished product. Full traceability is confirmed by the international GLOBAL G.A.P. certification and the BRC (Global Standard for Food Safety) certification obtained in 2015.
Our products have been awarded the ‘Green Spoon’ label under the national food quality scheme, which attests to their high quality. All products are manufactured in Latvia and contain no GMOs or synthetic colourings.
The company also grows and processes certified organic products.
Our mission is to produce natural, healthy, and nutritious food products!
Most of our products have been awarded the ‘Natural Product’ quality label, and the corresponding symbol appears on the packaging. The ‘Dimdiņi’ brand is well known and popular not only in Latvia but also beyond its borders.
Jānis Lūsis and his family establish a 16.16 hectare farm in Lizuma Parish and name it Dimdiņi. The name, the farmhouse and some of the trees planted at the time remain to this day.
Under Soviet rule, the property is nationalised. The farmhouse and outbuildings survive, waiting for the next chapter.
The new owners, both trained agronomists, begin growing vegetables at Dimdiņi and build an entirely new farm. Through hard work and determination, a few rows of cabbage gradually grow into a business.
Production begins on Dimdiņi Braised Cabbage, which becomes one of the brand’s signature products. The recipe comes from Iveta’s mother.
The family takes over the Gotiņa confectionery plant in Lizums. The confectionery business later becomes a separate company, Skrīveru Saldumi, while Dimdiņi continues to build its future around vegetables.
Vegetable growing and processing become separate specialist operations, allowing for even closer quality control at every stage. Crops are grown to internationally recognised GLOBALG.A.P. standards, setting Dimdiņi on a path of rapid growth.
A modern packaging line is introduced, bringing products to market in convenient, airtight packs. Familiar favourites become easier to enjoy in a more modern format.
Dimdiņi receives the international BRC Food Safety Certification for the first time, setting even higher standards for quality and traceability in our everyday work.
“We are grateful for this place, our brand, and the kind wishes Aunt Erna has given us.” Patriotism, national pride, and a love for her work and for people were her core values. Aunt Erna and our parents have helped us, as young and enthusiastic beginners, to understand the value of this land and the satisfaction it brings. We would like to express our gratitude to our parents, who have been with us from the very beginning and who have taught us both how to grow cabbages and how to make “Gotiņa” sweets. It is from them that we draw inspiration and learn their remarkable strength and resilience in their work!”
