Iran Tila is a regenerative micro-farm in Kirkkonummi, run by Ira Wichmann. On a small plot of land, Ira grows over 150 varieties of vegetables and flowers, focusing on open-pollinated heirloom varieties and high biodiversity. Ira uses natural farming methods combining traditional techniques with current research into soil life and plant-microbe relationships. Her collaboration with Nolla is rooted in a shared approach responsibility and a firm belief in the idea that flavour starts in the soil. Both are dedicated to reducing waste from field to kitchen, while exploring how every part of a plant can be put to use.

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.

Kaiholan Puutarha in Orivesi is run by Pia Kärki and Glenn Eloranta on land that once belonged to Glenn’s grandfather. They grow a wide range of herbs, edible flowers, berries, and vegetables, and also manage gardens for others. The couple likes to experiment with unusual varieties, from Thai cucumbers to Huacatay and golden garlic flowers. All production is done without tractors, single-use plastics, or chemicals, using natural methods and ecosystem services to support healthy soil.

Kaiteki Sienet brings together professionals from around the world to cultivate some of Finland’s finest organic mushrooms. Founded by true culinary enthusiasts Juha, Ying, and Peng, the mushroom farm is driven by a love of bold flavours and thoughtful growing practices. They currently grow organic Japanese shiitake, oyster mushrooms, and lion’s mane for both culinary and medicinal use. The mushrooms are cultivated on locally sourced Finnish birch and organic wheat. After harvest, the growing medium is composted and returned to the land, supporting local crop production and closing the loop.

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.

Liisa Tuulikki is a painter, designer, and digital artist based between Helsinki and Paris. Her playful practice spans painting and ceramics, drawing inspiration from pop culture, anime, and video games. She was one of the first ceramists we worked with at Nolla, creating plates and bowls for our kitchen. Her signature pieces include collectible art toys like the Tuulikki bunny and BUNBUN, and her work can be found in hotels and restaurants across the city.

Majvik is a biodynamic farm and farm shop in eastern Sipoo, run by Atte Hermansson. The farm focuses on grains including oat, spelt, wheat as well as root vegetables like celeriac, black salsify, parsnip, and a variety of beets, alongside organic eggs. Of its 60 hectares, 20 are farmable, and half of that is grazed by a small herd of Eastern Finnish cattle, which help fertilise the land naturally. Majvik is also a space for learning and community: students, seasonal workers, and volunteers all take part in the growing and harvest season. “I like the idea of a farm in the social sphere – it’s supposed to be for people,” says Atte.

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.

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.
