Description
We are a finnish family, living in an old fishing farm in Pyhämaa archipelago. We have a cat, two bunnies and some beehives. Our place is by the sea and there is a possibility to go for swimming and to sauna.
Our little farm is located in Pyhämaa. It’s a beautiful and peaceful village. The nature is unique and right close to Selkämeri national park.
Here you can go mountainbiking, hiking, frisbeegolfing and rowing when you have freetime. You can also hire kayaks nearby. The local atttaction, sacrifation church, one of the oldest wooden buildings in Finland, is next to us.
The nearest towns are Uusikaupunki 25 km away and Rauma 50 km away. They are both known of charming wooden city quarters.
We are producing products only for our own use. Our farm is not a business farm. We sell only some honey if we get more than we use. Anyway workawayers don’t help with bees..
