About the project

Farming Community!

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Herttoniemi Food Co-op is the first community supported agriculture project in Finland. It is a co-op of about 100 members that grows organic vegetables on 1,3 hectare field in Vantaa, close to Helsinki, with the help of a professional gardener. It is also possible to order other kind of organic and locally grown produce via the co-op. One aim of the project is to spread knowledge about community supported agriculture and in Finland, and so far the project has gained lots of attention by the media. More info: ruokaosuuskunta.fi
