The monastery farm

Russia / Karelija / Sortavala /
Having become Abbot, father lonafan built a model mechanized farm with seventy head of cattle, six kilometres to the West of the monastery in 1882. The cow-shed, provided a separate room for each cow, built with regard for facilitating access to the hay-loft. Cattle-feed was delivered by rail-road. Water was piped in. There was also a fish-breeding facility with clay breeding boxes, which were also made at the monastery.
