Our berries
Wild berries mainly used in terms of quantity are bilberry and lingonberry. In addition cloudberries, crowberries and rowanberries are purchased. Among cultivated berries black-, red- and whitecurrants are also purchased from Finnish producers. We purchase sea buckthorn berries, black chokeberries and wild cranberries from the neighboring countries. Our cultivated berries come from contract farms where the berries have been grown responsibly and with respect for nature. Almost all berries are also available in organic quality.
