About
METSÄKETUN KIEVARI
What all do we have?
Our operation at Taivasmaa Farm has grown year by year.
Previously, our place was known as Metsäketun Pizzeria. However, the dream for our place has always been broader than just a pizzeria, and now with the new additions we changed the name of our place to Metsäketun Kievari. We want Metsäketun Kievari to be a place where you can come to relax and spend the whole day if you like.

​
FORESTFOXE'S PIZZERIA
Since 2023, Metsäketun Pizzeria has been serving incredibly delicious artisan pizzas and homemade desserts in the atmospheric loft of a charming old barn in Taivasmaa.
The restaurant operates in the loft from May until the end of September. After that, it moves to the cozy and intimate tipi tent on the farm for the winter season.
The restaurant has become especially popular during the summer, so we recommend reserving a table (though it’s not mandatory).
Check current reservation situation and make your booking via the homepage of our website.

FOX CAFÉ
In summer 2026, a new gem will open on the fields of Taivasmaa Farm at Metsäketun Kievari: Fox Café.
This 10-meter-diameter tipi tent is perfectly designed for the rural landscape – in summer, with all sides rolled up, the café opens to a stunning 360-degree panorama: vast open fields, endless horizon, and the peaceful embrace of nature all around you.
Here, time slows down.
Sit back, order a refreshing or warming drink, a sweet pastry, or a savory snack – and let your gaze wander across the scenery. At the same time, soak in the grounding farm atmosphere: summer yard games await players, the 7-hectare forest adventure trail invites exploration, and the sheep grazing in the field are happy to receive some gentle scratches and attention. Right next door is the new Field Spa, featuring a organic swimming pool, hot tub, and two saunas
– the perfect combination for deep relaxation.
And when hunger strikes, head up to the barn loft where Metsäketun Pizzeria crafts handmade, heavenly artisan pizzas using the finest local ingredients.
The café is open whenever Metsäketun Kievari is open, and we do not take reservations for the café. You can always drop by Fox Café regardless of the booking situation at Metsäketun Pizzeria.

FIELD SPA
In summer 2026, a stunning new addition will open on the fields of Taivasmaa Farm at Metsäketun Kievari: Field Spa.
Here, there is no rush or noise – only an open sky, treetops swaying gently in the breeze, and the soft, enveloping löyly.
At the heart of the spa awaits a refreshing organic swimming pool, two distinctive saunas, and a warm hot tub. Immerse yourself in the water or the steam, let your gaze drift to the horizon – the grounding rural landscape soothes the mind while your body fully relaxes.
Right next to the spa, Fox Café is at your service, offering refreshing drinks, sweet and savory treats, and light snacks. And if a bigger hunger strikes during your sauna session, Metsäketun Pizzeria is just a few steps away – ready to craft handmade, heavenly artisan pizzas from the finest local ingredients.

SUMMER SHEEPS
During the summer, sheeps from the nearby Kalliolan Farm graze in the fields of Taivasmaa Farm.
You’re welcome to go and gently pet the sheep while Metsäketun Kievari is open – and it’s completely free for our guests!
Please keep in mind that sheep are very timid animals and startle easily. Always approach them calmly, walking slowly and speaking softly. Running or loud noises will make them run away. We also kindly ask that only a small, reasonable number of people go up to the sheep at the same time – a big approaching group can scare them too. If it seems like the sheep won’t let you come close despite your calm efforts, please give them their space. You can try again later, or perhaps with help from one of our staff members.
IMPORTANT: Please remember – do NOT feed the sheep anything!
Sheep have very sensitive stomachs, which is why they should never be given anything that they couldn’t naturally find and eat in the meadow’s grass mix themselves. So please keep your own treats to yourself and focus on gently petting, stroking, and talking sweetly to them instead.
They absolutely love that!

FOREST ADVENTURE TRAIL
Our self-built and super popular forest adventure trail awaits in the peaceful 7-hectare woods of Taivasmaa Farm!
Wander along the trail and soak up the calming, grounding energy of the forest while tackling fun task points along the way. There are around 10 varied stations spread over about 640 meters
– perfect for a relaxed 20–40 minute adventure,
depending on how long you linger at each one.
It's designed to be enjoyable for all ages, from little toddlers to grandparents. Tasks can be adapted to suit any age – kids can do them on their own or with a parent's help. That said, children must always be accompanied and supervised by an adult on the trail (no solo adventures for the little ones, please!).
​
Along the route, there are signs with more information about each task point.

YARD GAMES AND FUN
Around the farm yard you'll find lots of lovely summer games and things to do – all freely available for our guests.
There’s mölkky (Finnish skittles), lawn darts, pétanque, a frisbee golf setup with discs, hobby horses and little obstacle courses, plus heaps of other fun bits and pieces.
Right between the barn and the café we have a cozy campfire area where you can make a fire and toast marshmallows or sausages from the café shop whenever the mood strikes.

PLAYGROUND IN OUR HOME YARD
Kids visiting the farm usually light up the moment they spot our yard!
Around our house there’s a sand box, swings, trampoline, a cute play kitchen with a little house on top, a slide
– and plenty more to discover.
All of these play spots and toys are there for our guests to enjoy freely.
That said, children should always be supervised by an adult while playing. Please respect the other kids in the yard: take turns, treat the toys kindly so nothing breaks, and tidy up afterwards by returning things to where they belong.
Trampoline rule: one child at a time + no shoes allowed.
