📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
We are community/collective based farm in the middle of finnish forest and lakeside. We have many volunteers through the year, mainly in summertime. We are growing biodynamic and organic vegetables in open-land and greenhouses, so its lot to do with farming, but we also renovate buildings, fix tools and machines, do animalcare(cows) and many other things involving the life in finnish countryside life.
We are working daily in small or big groups depending whats seasonally most urgent. With our work we are trying to make this area and place for all people who like to have an experiment with rural lifestyle and nature with not much facilities, learning self-suffiecnt skills, ecological lifestyle and sustaineble development.
