✔️ About us
My whole family decided to return home after living in Finland for about two and a half years. My granfather used to take care of this chestnut farm. It had not been managed for more than 10 years but I decided to become a farmer becauses I couldn’t turn way from the chesnuts which are always dropped when the time come. Four months out of the year, we become farmer and the rest of the year, we live in various ways with the goal of sustainable life in rural areas , doing things we know or want to do for . The reason why we continue farming is that we want to make a farm that helps the adults who have lived in this region for a long time and our children who are born and raisd here. Me, I furniture design and architecture and my wife majored in hotel management and worked in the restaurant industry. We have two teenager sons, and a dog (external), cat (internal) live together
