With us you can order:
What is “Lavka”: some answers to your important questions.
What is “Lavka”?
“Lavka” (it means a small local shop or a store in russian) is a place, where you can order fresh tasty food directly from farms and it will be delivered straight to your door. We offer geese, ducks, chicken, turkey, butter, sour cream, milk, ryazhenka, cottage cheese and much more! We only offer the products that are produced in farms or households in Russia. The seasonal factor is very important for us – this is why our product range is limited and varies from season to season.
How do we cooperate with producers of your tasty country food?
The most important is how we are testing our suppliers. We spend a lot of time visiting the private farms and households in Moscow region and neighboring regions and selecting the best of them as our suppliers. 2 times a week we set an expedition: we find a farm and head there taking our photo and video cameras and the most important our mouths and stomachs with us. We speak with the farmers, take pictures, film and the most important taste what the producers have to offer us. If we see, taste and feel with our stomachs that the food is worth offering to you – we include the farmer in the list of our suppliers and their products in our product range. Of course we check that the farmer has all the necessary documentation and licenses for their product but our experience says that this is necessary but not the most important. Much more important is how the animals are treated and fed, how the soil is cultivated, what fertilizers are used. Moreover we tend to work with the people we sympathize. Believe us – this is very important, especially when it comes to entrusting to someone of our most cherished emotion – joy and happiness from eating.
Where can we have a look at your farmers?
We post stories of our farmer and gastro-expeditions on our website. You can see everything about the producer of a lamb, a goose, a can of jam or yoghurt: where the farmer lives, how exactly his/her product is grown/produced. It is important to understand that “Lavka” is an information gate between the city and the country, we give you the information on the availability of fresh and tasty food. Placing an order at “Lavka” you address the producer.
What are your operating hours?
Home delivery is done three times a week: Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at
convenient time for you from 12 noon till 23-00. It is best to order 3 days in advance
(especially if you order poultry: goose, turkey, duck. Because we work straight with
the farm producers and deliver the freshest products, we negotiate with the producers
regarding poultry right after we receive an order). The delivery can take place on
other days/time by private agreement.
What are your terms of delivery?
You can skip the delivery fee if you pick your order yourself at Lavka or one of our
order handing offices (the number of which is growing). Soon these order handing
offices will open at Red October and on Stoleshnikov pereulok. Later it will be
Nikitskaya street and many more.
At present we have two points where you can pick up your order: Lavka (Nizhniy
Susalniy per., 5 str. 19) and “Ragout” restaurant (Bolshaya Gruzinskaya, 69).
Delivery fee varies depending on the time of delivery. Being honest this is only due
to Moscow’s terrible traffic jams. It is much better for us if you set your delivery time
after 21-00. By this time the number of cars on the streets is much less. Thus the cost
of delivery within MRHW (MKAD) before 21-00 is 400 rub. and after 21-00 is 300
rub. The minimum order is 1000 rub. If your order is 5000 rub. or more – the delivery
is free at any time.
Delivery beyond MRHW (MKAD) is for orders in the amount of 5000 rub. or more.
The cost of delivery beyond MRHW (MKAD) is 200 rub. 100 rub. for each 5 km.
How do you place an order?
You can comment any post in our blog, find us on Facebook (we have a
page “Lavka. Fresh Food from Local Farmers.”), email us at
orders@lavkalavka.ru
or call us: +7 926 951 51 18.
Can you give some advice on how to make a better order?
The better you describe what you want – the easier it will be for us and more pleasant
for you afterwards. Here is some useful advice. When ordering poultry indicate
the desired weight. Besides this we accept any other wishes and comments. For
example: “I need chicken to fry”, “I want to prepare soup on real chicken stock”, “I
like the cottage cheese to be fatty and more sour”, “please give me some light and
Lenten cottage cheese” and anything else – write to us and describe what you want.
What is Lavka’s “Grocery Basket”?
Special program “Grocery Basket” is simple and ingenious. You can pick the desired
range of products you need every week (for example 1 kg. of veal, 1 chicken, 200 g.
of sour cream, 200 g. of butter, 2 l. of milk) once - and forget about it. Weekly we
will deliver everything you have put in your “Grocery Basket” straight to your door.
Of course you can update your “Grocery Basket” whenever you want, for example
add a goose, a wild boar’s foot or 3 l. of apple vinegar.
Why is this good for you?
You place an order once and forget about it (of course we will give you a call every week before it’s time for your next delivery in case you are out on vacation or decided
to fast). It is a splendid program really. Try it!
Where else can you pick up your order?
We are about to open our order handing desk at “Grande Park” residential compound
in “Food & Fruit” grocery store. People living in Grande Park can place orders on
farm food on 350 rub. or more through “Food & Fruit” website (www.food-f.ru) and
get free delivery within the residential compound. We deliver farm food to “Grande
Park” on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Orders for Wednesday are accepted
until 14-00 on Monday and for Friday and Saturday – until 15-00 on Wednesday.
Orders for produce of “Mustard Meadow” and on half-breed pork are accepted 6 days
beforehand.
Residents of the surrounding neighborhoods can pick their Lavka orders at our order
desk in “Food & Fruit” (Berezovaya roscha street, 8, Polezhaevskaya metro station).
These residents have two advantages: a) they don’t have to pay for delivery; b) they
don’t have to reach 1000 rub. minimum to place an order – the sum can be less.
The order desk will work on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. You can pick your
order anytime during the working hours.
And one more: Lavka order desk – on Belorusskaya!
We have opened one more order desk where you can place orders and pick them up. It
is situated in a great new restaurant ´Ragoutª (Bolshaya Gruzinskaya, 69). E-mail of
our order desk is orders@lavkalavka.ru You can have a dinner at ´Ragoutª and
pick up your order there. Or you can pick up your order and dine there. You can place
an order with us or directly at the restaurant. In anyway you pick up your order at ´Ragoutª and don't pay for delivery!
How can you cooperate with Lavka?
Lavka is a growing and developing project. This is very pleasant. But there are
difficulties that we are going through. The most crucial of them is that it's getting
harder and harder to deliver the ongrowing amount of orders. We will cope with this – we are sure, but this problem remains. Thus first of all we want to remind you that you can pick up your orders yourself at Lavka or Ragout restaurant. Soon we will open a new order handing office at Stoleshnikov pereulok and are thinking on opening one on Yugo-Zapadnaya.
But we have one more idea on how we can make the delivery process easier. We offer
all wiling to help to become volunteers of Lavka and the farms we work with. We would like to call this volunteer a “farmster”.
Who is Lavka’s farmster. It is a person who organizes collective orders between
one’s friends, colleagues, and neighbors, picks it up at Lavka and hands out parts to
friends and neighbors. This results in friends and neighbors getting their order without
paying for delivery and the farmster helping us, farmers that Lavka works with,
friends and neighbors. Everyone benefits from this. Besides this the farmster can
get food for free from Lavka as a reward. If the total value of the collective order
is from 15 to 24 thousand rub., the farmster can place a free order for 10% from
the total of the collective order. If it’s 24 thousand rub. or more – than the reward is 12%. The only requirement for a future farmster is a personal meeting with us before our cooperation. We must get acquainted, dine and get to know each other better.

What is Lavka gift certificate?
Why do we change cans?
We sell all our dairy products in glass cans. And we take the cans back. How does it work? We deliver the dairy products in glass cans and include a 30 rub. (the value of a can) fee for them during your first order. The next time you order dairy we take the cans from your previous order and don’t include the can fee for the next order. Thus you pay for the cans only once and we will change the glass cans every next order. It’s ecological and pleasant.

Volodin, Viktor Stepanovich and sons (in the photo - sons)
Orel region, Znamensky district, village Selihovo. About 400 km from Moscow.
Volodins deal only with buckwheat honey.They have 20 "bee colonies"
Here is what Volodins have written about themselves:
"Viktor Stepanovich Volodin, Orel town native, born in 1944. All my life worked as a master of rope shop for rolling mill in Orel. Married, two adult married sons.
Beekeeper with roots, his grandfather worked with bees and when he was 10-12 years old started to get interested himself. He helped his grandfather in everything concerning the bees and apiary. Grandfather died, the bees died.
800 rubles per 0.5 liter
1500 rubles per liter
3200 rub.- 3 liter cans

Volodin himself at the apiary.

We will be proud. And shout loudly : For the first time in Russia and in Lavka we have a local Steak beef! Meat breed bulls Angus and Galloway, living in Moscow and Tver Region.
It is that very meat - real beef, from which steaks are made. And that's the the meat, which in Russia was only available in the import version. Mostly, Australian.
But now we have meat revolution! So far not very ambitious, but something we had to start with.
So, try to briefly and clearly tell the whole story: today we were at the farm of Myaukin Valery Borisovich in the village "Korovino" Mozhaisky area. There live cows of Angus and Galloway breeds. This farm is involved in the National Association of Cattlebreeders. And Valery Borisovich himself is the president of the association. With us was Gernot Klammer - one of the founders of the Association. He also has his own farm - in the Tver region, inhabited by 1,500 animals.

The perpouse of this association is to create and maintain a beef cattle breeding in Russia. Through the association the farmers will be able to build sales of meat - that is known to be the difficult case in Russia. However, so far there is almost nothing to sell. In Russia there are now only a few thousand cows and bulls of meat breeds. All of this amount can be eaten pretty quickly. That's why we need to start to make quantity of cows for a start 10 times, and then 100 more. In this case this is not possible without understanding how actually to sell this meat here. So as an experiment Lavka and Russian farmers from the Association start a project - selling the meat of domestic Angus and Galloway.

Now about the meat. The meat you order in Lavka. And wait- from 1 to 4 weeks. Why so long? Because a) there are not so many bulls b) all bulls are slaughtered by order c) meat is aged after slaughter for approximately 20 days.
Each package of the farmers association will have a stamp - the date of slaughter. That is, you will know how much the meat was aged.

Orders for the meat we begin to take now. Something we have already right now. Something will have to wait.
In addition, on Sunday we're going to have a master class on cooking steaks, and at the same time the presentation of this very meat.
That's what is going to happen:
November 28, Sunday. 15.00
"Who are we? Meat! "
Frying and eating steaks. Master class. Boris Akimov . Olga Strizhibikova
