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.

Kuorttisen Luomukanala in Lappeenranta is one of Finland’s oldest organic chicken farms, now run by the fourth generation. For over 100 years, the family has focused on the wellbeing of their birds. The chickens are free to move indoors and outdoors and are fed with the farm’s own organic fodder — including oats, half of which comes from their fields, where they only use composted farm manure. The farm’s brilliant organic brown eggs are collected and packaged on site.

Vallinrinne is a small-scale organic farm in Nurmijärvi, run by Eerika Vallinrinne and Kalle Suontausta. The farm has been in Eerika’s family for generations, and today they grow a variety of brassicas, including cabbage, cauliflower, and kohlrabi in various varieties.
