  • Description

    Description

    We run a pet farm with a café, located in the archipelago of Ostrobothnia, Finland. Our farm is home to five cows, a horse, a donkey, five alpacas, several sheep, lambs, goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, and two pigs. 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.
