Kaja Kesküla, an ecological farmer from Võru County, is an enthusiastic woman who consistently tries to connect food producers and consumers. Kaja has led the South-Estonian Food Network (SEFN) for six years already. SEFN was established in September 2006 while the Võru County Farmers Union’s training activities on food and common actioning took place. At the same time, Kaja established an ecological food marketing circle in Tartu. “The food network is basically a producers processers-consumers scheme for cooperation,” says Kaja Kesküla. “The original thought was that if we are producing something then we will have to offer it somewhere, somehow. We value quality local food. The emphasis is on farm products – good things from   small producers. Of course, all in all, we are doing it to retain sustainable rural life.”
