What to expect?
Finland is one of the best places in the world for foraging wild foods. As spring transitions into summer, the forest flourishes with new vegetation, and the aroma of fresh berries fills the air.Whether you are here to experience the Finnish culture of berry picking or simply taste the most natural organic fresh fruits nature can provide, you will treasure this intimate experience in Finland's wilderness.
Highlights: • Pick fresh organic berries handpicked by you • Take home your extra berries • Calm and pure environment • Finnish-style lunch and coffee by the campfire
We may fill our baskets with Finnish superfoods such as blueberries, and lingonberries and, with some extra luck, we may even find some sweet wild strawberries. These superfoods are rich in vitamins and nutrients and sweeter than any berry you could buy from the stores!We consider Liesjärvi a hidden gem of Southern Finland. It is only 100 km from the city and not often visited by international travellers, so we can collect the berries at our own pace.This area is a breathtaking landscape carved by glaciers and shrouded by old-growth forests providing a magical setting to spend the day foraging.
