    Take a cool guy (must be a great cook though).
    Add a converted vintage horse trailer.
    Name it "Raffaele" – the trailer, not the cook.
    Use as much as local and organic ingredients.

  • Kurki: why eco-villages are so important
    14 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    We are lucky in Tampere, we have a beautiful eco-village only 45min drive accessible to learn tons of things. And for those who want to travel without polluting, the bus 55 is taking you there. I’ve been there with family and friends a couple of times.
    The place is called Kurki and it’s located in Vesilahti, by the lake Pyhäjärvi. It’ s a community ecovillage and a biodynamic farm (which mean organic basically but I’ll explain the differences later if I have time...).
    In 2011, after years and (...)

  • Beauty and well-being
    12 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    In a few years, organic products have become more mainstream and can be found in many places like Sokos, Stockman, Prisma... Make sure to check well the compositions of the products and remember that "natural" doesn’t necessarily means "organic".
    All these cosmetics are imported from France, Sweden, Latvia, Germany... As far as I know, only Frantsila is offering organic cosmetics made in Finland in their Hämeenkyrö’s farms.
    Downtown Tampere, Ruohonjuuri is the place to get proper advises (...)
