Picnics to Nature

In our range, we will serve excursion participants with taste experiences available in Finnish nature. We mainly utilise forest ingredients, such as berries and mushrooms, lake fish and provincial vegetables. We prefer products from small Finnish producers.  Our menus vary according to the season and harvest periods. The selection includes “Light snacks”, in which you can choose cold snacks for the group, such as salads and French bread, a light dip meal or filled baguettes.

For some excursions, choosing a heartier “Menu” consisting of several courses, such as cold starters, a warm main dish, and a dessert, is also possible. When offering campfire foods, we reserve the right to make changes to the menu due to forest fire warnings.  One menu is prepared for each excursion with consideration towards any special diets.
