Tilamyynnillä

Tilamyynnillä is a Finnish term that translates to "sales from the farm" or "farm gate sales." It refers to the practice of selling agricultural products directly from the farm to consumers. This can include a wide range of goods such as fresh produce, meat, dairy products, eggs, honey, and homemade preserves.

The primary characteristic of tilamyynnillä is the direct transaction between the producer and the end consumer, bypassing intermediaries like supermarkets or distributors. This often allows farmers to receive a larger share of the retail price and consumers to purchase goods that are perceived as fresher and locally sourced.

Consumers often choose tilamyynnillä for the opportunity to connect with the source of their food, to support local agriculture, and to find unique or seasonal products not always available in larger retail outlets. Farms engaging in tilamyynnillä may operate a dedicated farm shop, sell at local markets, or offer pre-ordered pick-up services. The availability and specific products offered through tilamyynnillä can vary significantly depending on the farm, its location, and the season. This practice is a common way for small and medium-sized farms to diversify their income streams and build direct relationships with their customer base.
