Who is Willit’s ideal buyer?
The traveller who wants to bring a piece of the Finnish forest home — not a fridge magnet.
Ingrid is a relaxed, curious food traveller who plans her stays around small markets, local catch, and people behind the products. She buys local on the trip, packs producer goods to bring back home, and tells the story when she opens the jar in her own kitchen.
“I’d rather meet Antti who picks the lingonberries than read a label about ‘Arctic Premium Wild Berries’.”
