In 2009
we started growing and processing fruits and herbs in our own garden in the small village Verkstrand, in
Finby, South Finland.
Research, information processing and information flow within human
health care is an integrated part of our concept.
In early spring, after a dark and cold winter, it is a delight to experience the flowering cherry tree. - We can sympathize with Ranevsky in the famous book of Anton Chekhov: "If the cherry orchard has to be sold, then I want to be sold along with it". |
To get a good harvest it is necessary for the pollination to be successful. For that purpose we have our own bee-keeping, which also gives us honey and wax. From the wax we make candles. We make jam for sale of our cherries, blackcurrants and plums. There are no additives in our products. Our honey and jams can be bought from local shops and also direct from our farmyard. We also sell through REKO, the system where producers, using Facebook, offer consumers an opportunity to obtain food directly from the producers at regular intervals. |
It is
generally asserted that wine-growing at our latitudes is not possible
because of the cold climate in Finland. One of our projects is to test open-air
grape growing in our garden. This is a long standing project that was started in 2010. It has taken us many years to find out which grape species can survive in our local microclimate. We can now make wine - for own use - of our grapes. In the autumn of 2017 we got an harvest that enabled us to make our own "arctic" red wine. Bible Eccles 9:7: |
Although we work a lot we sometimes do some fun |
