Markkulan Marjatila is a centuries-old farm that started to cultivate black currants and strawberries in the 1990s. Markkula’s guiding lights include healthiness, excellent flavour and high quality. The aim is to preserve the berries’ beneficial vitamins and other ingredients with health impacts as well as the summery flavours with all their aromas.
Markkula berry farm is a family farm. It invests in the continuity and vitality of Finnish agriculture, without forgetting traditions and the work of past generations. The buildings and milieu of the courtyard area have been faithfully preserved and renovated. Old items have been collected in a home museum.
The planting history of the courtyard trees tells us about former and present house masters and mistresses, important moments in their lives and episodes of the farm’s existence.
“Once again we spent a great week here in a familiar setting. Despite the slightly chilly weather, it was nice to stay here. Besides enjoying the lakeside sauna heat, we actively used the frisbee golf course. Our thanks go again to our hosts for taking care of everything so superbly. We hope to come back again next summer." (Finland)
