After meeting in front of the farm shop, we will start the presentations and have a short introduction to the tour. We will then begin our walk around the fields and pastures, and meet the animals. The farm is surrounded by forests, where we will discover together plants and trees, listen to birds and hopefully spot some animal tracks. We will have our break at a serene spot, tucked among moss-covered rocks and ancient lichens. You will enjoy a locally-prepared vegetarian lunch, served at a traditional Finnish Laavu shelter, with a warm campfire crackling nearby. The meal is made with fresh ingredients from the farm. After the food break we will shortly continue through the forest, and back to the meeting point. We have a small self service farm shop. Customers can freely visit after the tour ends.
