The first-ever Honey and Berries Festival will be held in Berd, Tavush region, Armenia.

The Spiritual Revival of Tavush fund put forward the initiative. At his meeting with journalists on Thursday, Director of the fund Haik Chobanyan noted that the festival inaugurates a program of events.

“The aim is the region’s spiritual and cultural revival, as well as promotion of local production. Numerous guests will be present to get acquainted with the local honeys and berries,” he said.

Lavrenty Mirzoyan, a representative of the fund, said that hardly anyone is engaged in this business and no production enterprises are operating this field. So the festival may stimulate the field’s development.

Honeys, berries, beverages, as well as carpets and tapestries will be displayed at the festival.
