Home farm
A farm yard with a twist
At our home farm, we raise wild boars and ostriches, and you are more than welcome to come and say hello!
Our farm is located right next to the restaurant – you truly can’t miss our animals as you arrive to the National Park.
Guidelines for visiting the farm
Drive with care: The road to the Helvetinjärvi National Park parking lot passes through our farm. Please drive slowly, as people, dogs, cats, and farm machinery are often on the move.
Parking: We have provided roadside pull-offs where you can leave your car. Please do not park in the private farmhouse yard. You are also welcome to visit on foot; it’s only about a 500-meter walk from the restaurant.
Explore freely: You are free to walk around the farm area – but please follow all signs and instructions. You’ll find information boards about the animals near the ostrich and wild boar enclosures.
Do not feed the animals! Our animals get plenty of treats from us.
Electric fences: Watch out for the electric fences! Do not climb, lean on, or reach over them.
Dogs on the farm: Dogs are welcome on the farm grounds, but please do not bring them close to the animal enclosures.
Ask us anything! Feel free to pull an animal caretaker by the sleeve at any time and ask questions!
Photography is encouraged! Remember to tag us on social media: @ravintolahelvetinportti.

Other animals
In addition to our wild boars and ostriches, life in “Hell” is brightened by many other furry and feathered friends.
Our several dogs roam the area, enjoying attention and keeping an eye on their pack.
Our cats are invaluable helpers in keeping the farm pest-free.
Every summer, we welcome new visitors to the farm.
For example, you can often find adorable chickens and rabbits in their enclosure right next to the restaurant restrooms.
