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.

Freemont Foliage is a small-scale microgreen farm based in Helsinki, run by Miles Freemont Alexander. Founded in 2023, the project grew out of Miles’ long-standing interest in permaculture and a desire to grow food right in the city. The microgreens are grown vertically under LED lights using organic soil, which is composted after use. Today, Miles supplies restaurants directly and reuses all plastic packaging for deliveries, keeping the system simple and circular.

Hongola Gård, owned by the Furuhjelm family, is an organic livestock farm in Urjala. The farm has reared cattle for over 300 years on the estate’s forest pastures, and still today the cows are permitted to move around these areas freely between spring and autumn. In 2017 the family introduced Black Angus cows, a Scottish breed, which are fed only naturally grown field grass. That means that the meat is formally classified as “grass-fed beef”. The farmhouse itself dates back to the 1600s, and is said to have inspired the Under the North Star trilogy by Väinö Linna, whose mother worked in the house. Hongola Gård hosts an annual harvest festival with local artisans and producers open for visitors.

Sanna Reponen is a small-scale organic farmer in Sulkava, growing garlic across almost her entire 500 square meter plot.

Sanna keeps a low profile online and on social media, earning her the mysterious nickname “the invisible farmer.”
