Ilonka Farm & Cafe

Ilonka, meaning light and torch, is an activity and experience farm where authenticity, presence and connection with nature are nurtured. From young children up to grandparents – everyone is welcome to Ilonka to connect with nature and animals!

Your main host Lilli is a young entrepreneur who took over one of the region’s oldest husky farms in 2024, renovated and innovated, and created something quite different and unique. Her love for nature, animals, handicrafts, and a sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle is what makes Ilonka what it is.

Ilonka is a family farm and home of not only Lilli but also her furry family members: huskies and other domestic animals who are well taken care of.

At Ilonka, you get to be present and to slow down in the quiet, natural surroundings, sensing with all your senses and doing seasonal activities in connection with nature, the animals and yourself. Ilonka creates unforgetable experiences and memories for guests of all ages.

After the outdoor activities, it’s lovely to go inside the Lappish hut Kota for a refreshing or warming drink, lunch, dinner or a snack. Sitting by the fire place warms up your body, mind and soul. The soups, pies, cakes and other delicacies are cooked and baked at the farm, as ecologically and locally as possible. In addition to coffee, tea, juice and hot chocolate, you can also find Finnish herbal drinks in our assortment.

You can also book the kota for private events and dinners.
