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.

Kakola Brewing Company is a neighbourhood brewery on Kakolanmäki in Turku, founded in 2018 by Peter Torniainen, Alexander Törnroth, and Eeva Torniainen. Driven by a shared passion for small-batch brewing, they focus on high-quality ingredients and a personal, hands-on approach. Their signature range draws from Nordic brewing tradition, while seasonal beers bring a more playful side, and the atelier series is where experiments take place. The brewery also runs a taproom and summer bistro, Sommar, where visitors can enjoy the full range of beers paired with seasonal flavours.

Viiniverla is an organic producer of non-alcoholic wines and drinks based in Verla. Their range includes sparkling wine, traditional lemonades, glögg, and juices such as apple-ginger glögg or red gooseberry fizz, all made from local ingredients, without artificial flavourings, sweeteners, or colouring. Their responsible approach extends beyond ingredients, covering cooking methods, energy use, and recycling across the production. Alongside their own production, Viiniverla offers a fruit juicing service: anyone can bring apples from their garden to be turned into juice, helping to capture the harvest and prevent surplus fruit from going to waste.
