Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Pag shepherding is a key part of local identity, with Pag cheese (Paški sir) and local sheep breeds protected by EU designations. This exhibition is a focal point for preserving and promoting these traditions. It also provides a venue for farmers to network and for visitors to experience genuine herdsmanship practices.
