Organic berry shop

First, a matter about the berry trade.

The trade in wild berries is now lively.

Berry companies say that there are up to three times as many berry sellers as last year.

There are also many sellers of blueberries and raspberries on online marketplaces.

Finns are excited to pick wild berries because they now fetch a better price than in previous years.

Berry companies, for example, are paying around 4.5 euros per liter for blueberries. That’s 3 euros more than last year.

Finns are now selling berries in record quantities.

Soili Toura sells blueberries to a berry company. This time he has picked berries from about 20 large clusters.

Toura says there are plenty of blueberries this year. He has earned around 1,000 euros a week picking blueberries.

Then archaeology.

A rare grave discovery has been made in Turku Cathedral.

A grave containing approximately 100 deceased was found under the church floor.

The tomb is from the Middle Ages, so it is almost 600 years old.

The grave was found because Turku Cathedral is currently undergoing renovations.

More news about summer festivals.

Yle’s comparison shows that summer music festivals attract the most audiences in Northern Finland.

For example, last weekend’s Qstock festival in Oulu was sold out. Qstock sold out for the 13th time in a row.

Next weekend’s Simerock in Rovaniemi is also sold out for the 4th time.

Festivals in northern Finland attract a lot of audiences because there is less competition than in the south.

For example, there are already so many festivals in the Helsinki region that there is not enough audience for them all.

Still a weather forecast.

Tomorrow afternoon it will be hot in the east, and the sun will also shine there.

It’s raining and thundering in the west.

In the evening there will also be rain and thunderstorms in the north and east.
