Bovik Organic Farm in Tammisaari, Raseborg, focuses on native livestock breeds – Finnsheep and Eastern Finncattle. It’s the largest regenerative farm in Uusimaa to raise animals on pasture, with their grazing helping maintain the region’s biodiversity and landscapes. Animals are raised for meat, and in winter they are fed organic feed and fodder. The farm also makes use of Finnsheep fur, turning it into yarn and hides.

Endless Food Co. is a Copenhagen-based startup, founded by a group of chefs who wanted to create a socially and environmentally responsible alternative to chocolate. Their 'non-chocolate-chocolate' is crafted from carefully upcycled ingredients, including spent grain leftover from beer production, and cacao shells, which are often discarded. The team's mission is to bring positive changes to the entire industry.

Helsieni grows oyster mushrooms using only local materials, like spent coffee grounds collected from nearby cafes. After harvest, the growing medium is reused or composted back into the soil. Based in Karjaa, they also run workshops, offer advice for mushroom growers, and make home kits so anyone can try growing mushrooms themselves.

Svarfvars is an organic farm located in Raseborg. They produce organically and biodynamically grown goods for schools, kindergartens and restaurants in the capital area and in western Uusimaa – selling both their own grown vegetables, but also sell and import other organic products. Currently their focus is on growing vegetables and herbs both in open fields and in greenhouses heated with wood chips.

Temperance Brewing Co is an artisan brewery based in Hämeenlinna, founded by Marietta Kuivanen and Michael Alexander after years spent working with brewing and distilling in Helsinki. The brewery opened in autumn 2024, bringing small-scale beer production back to the city for the first time since the 1990s. Their beers, from Katuma Pilsner to Very Very Fond of Bergamot Double IPA, are naturally carbonated and made with a focus on sourcing ingredients as locally as possible. In their first year, Temperance has been warmly received by the local community and is now planning to open a brewery shop of their own.
