Sumarokovo elk farm is currently a home for around 40 elks. Since 1963 people tried to domesticate the elk here. Tourist season on the elk farm is open all year round. In winter, elks are in the woods, from April all the animals are transferred to the summer camp when calving begins. The collar of each adult elk on the farm is equipped by radio transmitter so that they dont get lost in the woods. The visitors of the farm tour are offered to take pictures with elks and to feed them with carrots, to buy souvenirs and to taste elk milk (from June to September). Currently, the elk farm is the only place in Russia where moose milk is produced. Elk milk has many beneficial properties, it can be tasted in a nearby health resort.
