The Local & Organic Food Fair is an exciting event dedicated to showcasing Finnish small producers and their locally produced and certified organic products. Taking place at the Messukeskus Helsinki, this fair invites attendees to explore a wide variety of offerings from participating companies, including meat products, cheeses, grain products, root vegetables, traditional delicacies, and innovative protein sources such as hemp, along with ice cream and canned goods. This event emphasizes the importance of local food in society, aiming to create a vibrant marketplace where small entrepreneurs can connect with consumers who are increasingly interested in local and organic food options.According to the Finnish Eats study (Economic Research 2023), approximately 39% of Finns purchase locally produced items on a weekly basis, highlighting a growing trend in consumer interest towards local food. The Local & Organic Food Fair serves as an approachable platform for attendees to engage with local food and learn cooking tips while gaining insights into responsible food production. A significant highlight of the event is the Local Food of the Year Award, which promotes awareness of local food and recognizes the efforts of those making strides in the local food sector. The award is presented based on criteria such as responsibility, cooperation, and the development of innovative solutions. Both the Local Food of the Year 2027 and the winner of the public vote will be celebrated at the fair, reinforcing the event's commitment to supporting local food initiatives. This event not only serves the local Finnish audience but also has a broader reach extending to countries like Nigeria and Pakistan, showcasing the global interest in local and organic food.
