Our Story
Over five decades ago, a family rooted deeply in Lapland’s traditions and values embarked on a remarkable journey. Harri and Mariela, a husband and wife team, were not just entrepreneurs; they were stewards of the land, determined to protect the Lapland nature for generations to come. They shared a profound love for the Arctic forests, where they found their livelihood and created their most cherished family memories.
Their journey was not just about business; it was a passionate commitment to the environment. From their earliest days, they understood the unique role that reindeer played in this pristine landscape, and the responsibility that came with it.
At the core of their venture was the idea of sustainability. The Lapland wilderness, with its unspoiled beauty and delicate ecosystems, deserved nothing less. It wasn’t just about providing premium reindeer meat; it was about ensuring that every decision made in their business contributed to the preservation of Lapland’s unique nature.
Every step of the production process, from receiving the reindeer to processing, packaging, and shipping, was marked by meticulous traceability practices. This commitment to transparency ensured that every product label told a story of how the meat was produced, and the information it held made the entire production and supply chain traceable.
Unwavering traceability
Our commitment to traceability is unwavering. We’ve implemented rigorous tracking processes that enable swift identification and monitoring of every phase, from product receipt through processing, packaging, and shipping to the precise customer destination. Our product labels are transparent, providing a clear insight into the meat’s production journey, ensuring that the recorded information can be easily deciphered, facilitating traceability across the entire production and supply chain.
