Renewable energy

In the Meadow Café, both coffee and small savoury delicacies are always made on open fire in summer. The fireplace, specifically designed and made by order for the Meadow Café, is always heated with dry birch wood.

Firewood is also used in the Meadow Cottage. Almost 70 per cent of all energy required for the activities is produced with firewood.

The firewood for the Niittykahvila Café of the Silent People are made by Kainuun Kuutamokeikat, a company providing employment for locals. The firewood is transported to the café in connection with ridesharing.

Over a year, we consume 40 cubic metres of firewood – all placed in a line, it would make 40 metres of one metre high and wide rectangular stacks.
