The best place on earth to produce oat grains. The oats and the Finns go way back. Even babies are introduced to oats after turning six months.

The finest raw ingredients are farmed in pristine Nordic conditions

Finland has remarkable seasonal variation in the weather. In the summertime, the sun shines continuously, even during the night in midsummer. The oat fields bath in the tender sun and grow steadily in the temperate Nordic climate. In the winter, the soil freezes. These frosty nights help with pest control and reduce the amount of pesticides needed on the fields.

"Farmers cultivate their fields in the cleanest air and with the clearest water."

As an agricultural resource, oats do not burden the nature. Especially organic oat farming is based on utilizing only natural biological processes. This increases the wellbeing of agricultural nature.
