  • Description

    Description

    We run a pet farm and a café, located in the archipelago of Ostrobothnia, Finland. Our farm is home to cows, a horse, two donkeys, alpacas, sheep, lambs, goats, chicken, ducks, bunnies, and two pigs. The outside (farm and garden) is run by the non profit and we are open and free to all visitors. The café is run by a business and there is staff running this operation. We have a lot of visitors, especially families, and the café gets very busy during opening times. As a volunteer you would be helping with the farm and garden. As a non-profit organization, our vision is to create a welcoming space where everyone is included. A key part of our work is using nature-based activities as a therapeutic tool to support well-being and promote ecological sustainability.
