Mäkelän luomutila is an organic farm in Oitti, run by Satu and Simo Heikkinen, the second generation working the land organically. Their fields grow wheat, oat, rye, barley, spelt, peas, and fava beans. Satu and Simo mill and sell their own flours, alongside products from around 20 other organic farmers and EU-certified organic wholesale goods, supplying schools, co-ops, and customers online. The farm also manages its forests and sells wood. Since 2019, Mäkelän luomutila has run a monthly van delivery service, letting customers pick up orders along various routes without extra freight costs — making organic produce more accessible to the local community.

Malmgård Estate in Loviisa dates back to the 1600s and is now run by brothers Henrik and Fredrik Creutz, the 13th generation on the farm. Organic since 1995, Malmgård focuses on ancient grains, growing wheat, oat, rye, and barley. They mill and sell their own flours, oatmeal, and other cereal products. The farm shop also stocks regional produce and houses the Malmgård beer brewery. In summer, there’s a café on site, and visitors can explore the estate, including the mansion and the castle, to learn more about its long history.

Under Ytan works with algae and seaweed in Åland, with the aim of shifting how the Baltic Sea is seen and cared for. The team – Joel Lindholm, Viktor Eriksson, Johan Törnqvist and Anders Ingves – is developing a mariculture project in Björkskär, growing macroalgae and seaweed, with plans to include mussels as the system grows. They’re currently moving from prototypes towards a full farming setup. The work supports biodiversity while producing food at the same time, something the team enjoys exploring in the kitchen, from sesame-fried Ulva with chilli to sea truffle mayonnaise.
