#juva

It is a place in Rantasalmi where the artist and primitive-log builder Esa Heiskanen works. Basically he dives into lake, picks the ancient logs from the bottom of lake, makes Mökki or creates art work. The logs are around 4000 years old. So I can say it is very interesting place. I have never heard sth like that before. You can see all the ancient logs around the place.

It was one of the interesting place in Juva which is near Mikkeli. It is farm and the only British style teahouse in Finland. Honestly I am not familiar with British style tea, and I don't like tea with milk but luckily they don't serve the tea with milk, so don't worry about it. I think the prices are really overrated, the afternoon tea menu for two people was around 50 euro which includes two different tea plus some snacks. However the tea we have got was really nice!

If you explore the farm more, you will notice a strange automatic cow milking machine. You can watch through the window which is open for visitors. Basically there is no human, cows are hanging around, and they queue for the machine for some reason, and the machine takes the milk. I put the video of the process below. For me it was interesting to see that cows are very calm and they are willing to go to the machine.
