The high standard of quality has been the guiding principle of Karinäs farmers since 1966. Examples of the results are that Karinäs poultry is raised totally without antibiotics since 2009, the production is salmonella-free and incidence of campylobacteriosis is minimal. Selected Karinäs farms were among the first in the world to adopt the farm born concept.
