Animals

Aamos aka Amppu is a brown gelding born in 7/2012. This donkey's appearance is a bit like that of Ihaa-as. A lovely little furry gentle donkey boy who loves to be cuddled.

Pilvikki aka Piltsu is a grey mare born in 4/2021. Piltsu has a strong underbelly. It reminds me a bit of Shrek's Donkey friend.

Piparmintun Pipsa aka Pipsa is a slightly lighter grey mare born in 11/2015. Pipsa is our Pilvik's mother. Pipsa likes to hang out with people and is also used to riding.

This charming trio of boys arrived at our farm in the fall of 2025. The boys were born in the summer of 2024.

In this picture are the lovely and lively Dani and Oliver. In addition, the trio includes the charming Loitsu.

Alpacas are curious and interested in people and like to eat carrots from your hand. However, they don't like being scratched much and rather shy away when you try to touch them. The alpacas make a funny sound by snorting.

We visit the alpacas by appointment and organize alpaca walks with them.

KUNKKU or King Journey is a warmblood gelding born in 4/2011. This horse is the type of horse that “anything goes” that trusts people and is a very gentle red gentleman. Although Kunkku is very tall, he is very kind and has been ridden by even a 1.5 year old child. Kunkku has a bit of a Goofy Hopo-like personality. Kunkku has also been involved in trotting and now works as a bush horse. You can recognize Kunkku by the white star on his head.

JOHNNY or Johnny Muscles is a warmblood gelding born in 5/2003. This gentleman is the “big brother” of our group. Johnny has had a long career as a trotter and is now enjoying his well-deserved retirement here with us. Johnny is very likeable and kind. He “chatters” his lips, so it is often easy to recognize him by his voice. Johnny is kind in terms of his horse too.

Veitikka was born on 6/23 and is a PSK, or Finnish Lapland cattle. Veitikka is a real rascal and a northern girl with a slightly rarer color, as she is black. Most Finnish Lapland cattle are light in color. She lives up to her name and is always inventing something to do. Veitikka is always ready to do all sorts of things together. A wonderful “companion dog,” with whom we’ve practiced being led.

Ahto is our bull calf born on 6/25, an Aberdeen Angus by breed. Ahto loves to be petted and brushed, and there's usually a lot to brush, as he particularly enjoys lying in shavings and hay, and is quite a hairy fellow. Ahto is also always ready for all sorts of joint activities, though with his hooves, he's just a bit of a Poor helper.

Ensio is our bull calf born on 2/26, a PSK, or Finnish Lapland cattle, by breed. Ensio is white in color. We dream of Veitikka and Ensio having their own little one.

Eeva is our heifer born on 5/26, an Ay-Limousin crossbreed. Eeva is brown in color.

Lovely woolly balls! These girls are simply charming, veritable therapy Sheep. When you hug them a little, worries disappear. The girls come to you when you call them. They are also very affectionate (and fond of treats), and especially Geri's and Amalia's tails wag when you pet them. Our Sheep are Finnsheep.

We have two grandma Sheep, Geri and Mel C, who were born in 2020. Geri is the leader of our flock of Sheep and the loudest Type of all. The flock previously had other Sheep named after the Spice Girls, but just like the original group, this group also broke up, and these two individuals remained from the lineup.

The black sheep is named Amalia and the brown sheep is named Melinda. It might be that Leevi & The Leavings' songs played a part in their naming. These girls were born in 2023.

Lambs were born to us in June 2023 and June 2025. Amalia's daughter Biscuit, born in 2025, has remained in our flock.

From the 2026 lambs, Mel C's daughter Milano and Amalia's daughter Shanghai have remained with us.

Victoria was brought to us from Peevo farm in Sastamala. Victoria was born in March 2024 and came to us as a little three-week-old girl. Victoria gets along particularly well with the Sheep and is the calmest friend in our group of goats. Victoria gave birth to a kid in summer 2026, who was named Margareetta and stayed to charm us with her presence.

The female kid goats Asta & Alma were born in June 2025. You could film this duo all Day and it would be quite entertaining to watch almost all the Time. The sayings: "if you are bored, get a goat" or "if you want to keep your peace of mind, don't get goats" have often come to mind when observing the antics of these young ladies. You can follow their mischief on social media channels, where videos have already surpassed a million views.

Prinsessa and Urho had male and female rabbit kits in autumn 2023 while they were with us, who were named Armi & Danny. Armi stayed with us and Danny went to a new home. Armi has New Zealand Red and Belgian Giant breeds and is yellow in color.

Mimi is a French Lop rabbit doe, who was born in spring-winter 2025. A truly charming blue-colored individual. Mimi had kits in summer 2026, and one of the kits, Demi, stayed with us.

We have 2 Chinese Crested dogs and one of them is Pinky Twinky Överi Ihana aka Ihku. Ihku was born on 4/23. This hero, who lives up to his name, charms with just his presence. Ihku is a trusted employee of our operation. Ihku loves the fireplace, saunas, cucumbers, human closeness, forest walks, carrots, sun, playing fetch with toys and warming her owner's toes at night, the list could go on and on... Ihku is a dog, although he is often very hairy. The other Chinese Crested dog is Pinky Twinky Simsalabim aka Lola. Lola was born on 1/26. Lola is so sweet, lively and beautiful and is learning to do chores with Ihku. Lola is just as dog like Ihku.

There are also 2 wire-haired dachshunds and the other is Kruutikellar's Jenni and was born on 5/23. Jenni is my own breed. The other dachshund is Sisukas Siiri aka Köpi. Köpi was born on 8/20.   Dachshunds are close to people and love to be scratched, a little bit of everything and not barking at anything, hunting dogs.

Our cat is Kissikkä, although Kissikä has many names and obeys them all equally well. Miisu, Misse, Misu, Kissikkä, Kisu, Kissa, Höpö, Perskatti, Himskatti..

Our cat Kissikkä works as a keeper of mice, voles, etc. and is very skilled at it.

This cat is really social and close to people and always comes to watch when there are people in the yard. Spends time inside, in Olotila, in trees, in the attic, in the yard, on the terrace...

When she gets affection, she starts drooling. She feels great on your shoulders.

Without a doubt, the best cat in the world.
