Who we are
About the farm
We farm in Kärkölä (Päijät-Häme); our fields have been worked by the same family for more than a hundred years, after 2005 we switched from dairy cattle to vegetable growing, and we have grown carrots since 2013 and beetroot since 2017. We grow a carrot variety chosen for flavour and traditional round beetroot in a rotation with grain and grass, and we wash, pack and deliver them ourselves to shops in the area. From October to the end of March we also sell at the farm on Tuesdays from 16:00 to 19:00; we also offer carrots for horses and deer feeding as well as haylage.

Feed offer — data check
- The farm has not given a breakdown of its land by use, so whether it produces the advertised feed on its own land cannot be checked from the data provided.
This check is based on the data given by the farm (land by use — owned and rented together —, annual production and advertised quantity) and on indicative maximum yields.

Write a review
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.
