Saimaa Harvest Festival at Soinilanmäki Farm in Savonlinna – delicious food and charming countryside vibes, just like grandma’s!
The folks at Soinilanmäki Farm warmly welcome you to enjoy the Saimaa Harvest Festival: come and taste delicious local food and drinks, meet a variety of friendly farm animals, and explore high-quality products from local producers. Experience the peace of the countryside just 15 minutes from the city.
At Soinilanmäki, you’ll be immersed in the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere of a traditional rural homestead, just like visiting grandma’s house. To celebrate the Harvest Festival, the farm’s garden transforms into a Pizzeria, offering artisan pizzas made mainly with local ingredients – naturally! Relax and enjoy under the autumn sun or, if it rains, under the shelter of the garden tent. The Garden Café also serves small savory and sweet local treats along with drinks. By reservation only for the Pizzeria.
In addition to good food, visitors can meet animals and browse and buy beautiful, high-quality products from local producers. The farm is home to sheep, donkeys, ducks, chickens, a rooster, a dog, and cats.
Here’s What You’ll Find
Alongside the farm’s own products, these makers and producers will be present:
– Niittyhetki (candles, crafts, decor)
