For over 300 years, the Heikkilä family has been growing fresh produce and raising livestock in Laitikkala, Pälkäne. Today, the farm focuses on organic dairy producing milk, cheese, yogurt, and incredible ice creams — all made following cherished family recipes. The farm no longer keeps its own cows, but the family still regularly visits their old herd at the farm where they now live.

Kaiholan Puutarha in Orivesi is run by Pia Kärki and Glenn Eloranta on land that once belonged to Glenn’s grandfather. They grow a wide range of herbs, edible flowers, berries, and vegetables, and also manage gardens for others. The couple likes to experiment with unusual varieties, from Thai cucumbers to Huacatay and golden garlic flowers. All production is done without tractors, single-use plastics, or chemicals, using natural methods and ecosystem services to support healthy soil.

Located in Hillilä, Asikkala, Mattsson grows blackcurrants and raspberries. The farm moved away from industrial strawberry production to focus on methods that reflect their values. When in season, visitors can pick their own berries in the fields or stop by the café, famous for its pancakes. The farm’s guiding principle is simple: leave the land in better condition than they found it.
