Who we are
About the farm
We run our cheese dairy on the Heikkilä farm in the village of Laitikkala, Pälkäne, which has been in our family since 1694. We took over the dairy farm in 2010, sold our own dairy herd in 2019 and have since focused on processing organic (luomu) milk: we make ripened washed-rind and fresh cheeses, grilling cheese, pasteurised whole milk, yoghurt, piimä (buttermilk) and ice cream. Our products can be ordered from our webshop for collection at the farm and are also sold by many shops, cafés and restaurants; we also welcome visitors during the Makukylä Herkkurundi food event in Laitikkala.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
