Ville Puhakka and Kaisa Peura have been at the helm of the Liepala dairy farm for four years. The couple is the tenth generation of farmers on the farm of the Puhaka family in Ilomantsi Huhus.
In the spring of 2022, the rise in prices pushed many farms into financial difficulties. In Ilomantsi Huhus, young farmers Ville Puhakka and Kaisa Peura did everything they could to make the farm survive. The end of the year brought hope.
If now I would stop and sell everything, could I start over?
This is what a farmer, an agricultural entrepreneur thought about Ville Puhakka26, a year ago in the summer in his beach sauna in Ilomantsi Huhus.
Relatives had come to Koitere lakeside to take a sauna and enjoy the beautiful July evening. However, the young owner of the Liepala dairy farm was tired and his mind was heavy.
