Markkulan Marjatila is a centuries-old farm that started to cultivate black currants 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.
“We’ve had a lovely week here at this excellent villa. This summer our cottage week was also warm. The water temperature has been +23 C˚, so we’ve ended up swimming several times a day. Also tried the new frisbee golf course. Back next summer.” (Finland)
