Iran Tila is a regenerative micro-farm in Kirkkonummi, run by Ira Wichmann. On a small plot of land, Ira grows over 150 varieties of vegetables and flowers, focusing on open-pollinated heirloom varieties and high biodiversity. Ira uses natural farming methods combining traditional techniques with current research into soil life and plant-microbe relationships. Her collaboration with Nolla is rooted in a shared approach responsibility and a firm belief in the idea that flavour starts in the soil. Both are dedicated to reducing waste from field to kitchen, while exploring how every part of a plant can be put to use.

Kaarlejoki grows root vegetables and other crops using methods that build soil health. They supply private customers, co-ops, wholesale buyers, and restaurants, while also producing grains, legumes, and fodder for a neighbouring organic dairy farm. In return, they receive composted manure, keeping nutrients cycling through their land. Kaarlejoki also collaborates with other small-scale and organic farms, helping to distribute their products and strengthen the local food network.

Majvik is a biodynamic farm and farm shop in eastern Sipoo, run by Atte Hermansson. The farm focuses on grains including oat, spelt, wheat as well as root vegetables like celeriac, black salsify, parsnip, and a variety of beets, alongside organic eggs. Of its 60 hectares, 20 are farmable, and half of that is grazed by a small herd of Eastern Finnish cattle, which help fertilise the land naturally. Majvik is also a space for learning and community: students, seasonal workers, and volunteers all take part in the growing and harvest season. “I like the idea of a farm in the social sphere – it’s supposed to be for people,” says Atte.

Santa Dorotea farm in Box, Sipoo, produces over 200 different vegetables, herbs, berries, fruits and flowers on a market garden scale site, including 50 different varieties of tomatoes, grown outdoors. Owner Sara Celvin is committed to ecological practices and soil-conservation techniques, such as the use of cover crops and minimal tilling, whilst making use of their own worm compost and chicken manure. Sara also offers gardening and horticulture services for locals interested in regenerative, environmentally responsible food production, through courses and food events.
