Lepola Drinks

The story began in 1927, when Frans Lindstedt built Lepola on the land of Meritalo Farm. Until the 1970s, Lepola was home to farm workers, after which the farm awaited new residents.

Later, Frans’s nephew’s son, Olavi Lindstedt and his wife established a berry processing plant in Meritalo to offer high-quality products from Finnish nature.

In 2015, Lepola was revived with new residents when Olavi’s daughter Emmi and her husband Aaron decided to renovate the farm. At the same time, they wanted to create something new alongside Meritalo’s products, and so Lepola’s ciders were born in 2018.

The aim is to develop drinks whose fresh flavours come directly from Finnish nature and are produced with respect for traditions. Today, the fifth generation at Lepola is already walking around in the shade of the apple trees and the farm produces cider from 100% Finnish apples.

Local orchards in Kemiö island, Salo and Raasepori. Mainly we use culinary apples. In recent years we have started to use crabapples and wild apples.

Lepola ciders, meads and soft drinks are crafted by Aaron. An Aussie, whose passionate approach to cider production guarantees the high quality of our products. Fresh and fruity ciders made with 100% fresh presed local apples. No added water or artificial flavours, never from concentrate. 

Lepola has small cider shop and terrace next to the production facilities. We do tastings and tours for groups.

Mainly in Southern Finland, in supermarkets and restaurants. The whole Lepola assortment is available in our own shop.
