The small island Jurmo in Åland’s north-eastern archipelago has 44 inhabitants and is a place for relaxed holidays. Jurmo’s specialty is the long-haired and handsome horned Highland cattle from Scotland, which by grazing on the island, help in keeping the landscape open and beautiful. The animals are kept outdoors all year round and the beef meat can be bought at the Butik Kvarnen summer store and can also be ordered in advance.
