Healthy Food Fair
5.-6.4.2025 11am-16pm • Koivuniemi Lord's Farm
The Healthy Food Fair, as its name suggests, celebrates domestic food and its producers. The name of the event also reflects domestic, clean and ethically produced food. The overarching theme is the idea that Finnish food is made in Finland. The aim of the Healthy Food Fair is to highlight the quality of domestic food production and promote its use in everyday family cooking. During the days, visitors to the fair will get to know local food producers, as food is brought directly from “field to table” to the visitors’ grocery bags.
