In addition to Myssy garments, Myssyfarmi is a producer of organic food products. We farm about 200 hectares of organic fields here in the Pöytyä area, specializing in oil seeds and protein crops such as green peas. We also grow organic barley, wheat and oats that are processed in the local mill. Our products include Virgin Turnip Rapeseed Oil, Hulda green peas, Pea Crush and Pea Flour - all organic.
Myssyfarmi’s organic fields grow beautiful Largo winter turnip rape that is used for creating the great tasting and super healthy oil we make in our own small pressing plant. In 2015 our Turnip Rapeseed oil was selected the Organic Product of the Year in Finland. Criteria for the prize included the taste of the oil, which was regarded as being "light years ahead of the competitors". Our oil withstands heating, but it is also really tasty on it’s own in salads or with potatoes.
Made of specific species of "largo turnip rapeseed", our oil is cold pressed and bottled here at the farm. Organic virgin turnip rapeseed oil is both healthier than olive oil as it includes both Omega-3 and Omega-6 and is lower in saturated fat than Olive Oil. And where virgin olive oil should not be heated, virgin turnip rapeseed oil can be used for cooking, baking and frying.
Our first food product, Hulda green peas, was launched in 2010. Not only are they high in protein but they can also be used to cook a traditional tasty organic pea soup.
Our farm’s pea products were originally launched as a Finnish equivalent for soy crumbles, and contain as much protein as the average minced meat (18/100grams). They can be used to cook organic veggie balls, falafels or risotto with our 'Hernerouhe' pea crush, simply mix the crush with hot water and salt and let it puff up for 10 minutes before mixing it in.
We believe in the future of Finnish farming. Due to the climate conditions as well as the soil properties, growing food in the north can be challenging, but it also offers great opportunities. The farming season is short and extremely intensive, the midnight sun offers almost 24h hours of sunlight per day for plants to grow, giving them a wholly distinctive taste.
Organic food is better for our health overall, and we want to be pioneers in organic farming - developing more climate and soil friendly farming methods. For us, organic farming is a way of life, and our goal is to pass the farm to the next generation in a better condition than we received it.
