Hauhala Goose Farm, in Anttola, is one of the largest goose farms in Finland. Everything happens on site, from hatching the chicks to slaughter and processing into pâtés and canned goods, so the geese are never transported. The farm’s 11 hectares are used for pasture and to grow their own fodder. Nothing goes to waste: blood and fat are fully utilised in the kitchen, and feathers are turned into pillows and blankets locally in Riihimäki.

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.

Kaiteki Sienet brings together professionals from around the world to cultivate some of Finland’s finest organic mushrooms. Founded by true culinary enthusiasts Juha, Ying, and Peng, the mushroom farm is driven by a love of bold flavours and thoughtful growing practices. They currently grow organic Japanese shiitake, oyster mushrooms, and lion’s mane for both culinary and medicinal use. The mushrooms are cultivated on locally sourced Finnish birch and organic wheat. After harvest, the growing medium is composted and returned to the land, supporting local crop production and closing the loop.
