Ohtaniemi pidot is located in Simpele on the shore of Lake Loitumajärvi and it functions as a party and catering service. Open by order and separately announced covers, such as Easter. Various experiential food events are also available. The Ohtaniemi farm has a long history, as the oldest part of the main building was already built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The current owner of the farm is a seventh-generation entrepreneur in Ohtaniemi and has cooked for three Finnish presidents and worked as a chef at Finnish embassies. Five cats, four sheep, rabbits and a flock of chickens with roosters also live on the farm.

Many houses also have borders, marked by means of fences or other landmarks. The Ohtaniemi farm is one of the oldest and best-preserved peasant farms in South Karelia. Its buildings were originally built around an inner yard in the 19th century. This made it easier to protect the farm, control access and keep an eye on the animals.

 Today, the farm invites visitors to enjoy delicacies prepared by Riitta, the hostess of the farm, which have impressed even presidents. According to an old proverb from South Karelia, bread makes the skier stronger and helps them more than any ski wax.

 In the yard, visitors are also greeted by five cats, four sheep, rabbits and a flock of chickens and a rooster. Fortunately, the lion sightings in Ruokolahti back in 1992 turned out to be a hoax. Or perhaps the lion returned to the other side of the eastern border.

Opening times
