Located in Marttila, Murtola Hemp Farm works alongside Murtola Organic Farm, focusing on organic hemp alongside peas, oats, malting barley, and clover. The farm produces high-quality Finnish hemp for food, animal feed, and natural cosmetics. The hemp is naturally rich in protein and omega fatty acids, and growing it supports soil health and sustainable farming practices.

Our mise en prep t-shirts are made by Pure Waste, a circular fashion brand founded in Helsinki in 2013. They produce garments from 100% recycled fibers, mainly cotton, using 99% less water and 50% fewer emissions than conventional textiles. All manufacturing takes place in India under strict ethical standards, repurposing cotton by-products from the local garment industry.

Tauko is a Helsinki-based circular textiles studio led by designers Kaisa Rissanen and Mila Moisio. They designed our service shirts from old hospital linen, naturally dyed light pink with onion skins. Originally a fashion brand focused on ethical, timeless clothing, Tauko now shares their knowledge of making, caring for, and reusing textiles through publishing.

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.

Vakka-Taimi is a specialist seedling grower run by Vesa Muurinen. What began as a small hobby nursery has grown into a wide-ranging collection of trees, shrubs, vines, and perennials. Alongside their core nursery work, Vakka-Taimi is actively trialling nut-producing species to see how they perform in the Finnish climate. Testing and observation are a central part of their work. The Muurila gardens, first planted in the early 1990s, now host more than 80 species and are open to visitors. Throughout the year, the garden holds seasonal events such as magnolia, rose and peony days, sharing knowledge and encouraging curiosity around plants that might shape future growing in Finland.
