  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in a small town, where the atmosphere is friendly and exchanges with our farmer neighbors take place during the summer. At the farm, we eat our meals together, which allows us to talk during the evenings which are quite long at this time of year, it's the midnight sun. We are a family immersed in two cultures, Finnish and Celtic, which are not so far removed from each other. Learning and living with our traditions is the basis of our life, with a crucial point: our dogs are also our family; they always come before us.
