Tilamyymälä

Tilamyymälä is a Finnish term that translates to "stall shop" or "farm shop." It refers to a retail outlet, often located on a farm or in its vicinity, where agricultural products are sold directly to consumers. These products typically include fresh produce such as vegetables, fruits, and berries, as well as dairy products, eggs, meats, and sometimes baked goods or processed items like jams and juices.

The concept of a tilamyymälä emphasizes direct sales from producer to consumer, often cutting out intermediaries and allowing farmers to retain a larger portion of the profit. This model also provides consumers with access to locally sourced, fresh, and often seasonal products. The atmosphere of a tilamyymälä is generally informal and rustic, reflecting its connection to agriculture. Many tilamyymälät are family-run businesses, and they contribute to the rural economy and local food systems. The availability of specific products can vary greatly depending on the season and the types of farming operations at the location. Some larger tilamyymälät might also offer a wider selection of complementary local goods.
