Mirinda and I want to eat more sustainably and be more concerned with animal welfare. To this end, Mirinda has been suggesting we shop more locally so today we headed out to Wappersta gård. Late last year KSP took Mirinda to the farm shop there when she was getting a Christmas ham and wanted to show Mirinda the amazing shop where all the meat is free-range and most of it is organic.
And what a great shop it was. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting.
And there wasn’t just meat. Eggs, cheese, sauces of all kinds, soap, and local honey (the best kind) were also for sale.
The woman (the farmer?) who served us took us through how the farm worked and, in particular, the life journey of the pork; from a local farmer who breeds them to the meat in the fridge. It was fascinating. We stocked up enough meat to last us for yonks.
Mirinda then wanted to head into Gnesta for some bird food so we stopped off on the way at another farm shop, this one with goat products. There were only cheese and eggs in the small shop. We bought three hard cheeses, all goat. The one we tried when we got home was delicious.
That’s the little shop at Sörbro Gård. We’ll have to return when they have more produce.
Back at home, and after a late lunch, Mirinda took the girls for a walk while I recorded my latest Letter from Sweden. You can listen to it here:
Much later, Mirinda chatted to Amanda while I prepared for Taco night, which we devoured in front of the telly because, of course, it was Mello tonight. The final final before the big final next week.
And what great fun it was. We picked the winners for this week though neither of them were as good as Bara bada bastu by Kaj. That’s our favourite for Eurovision. We were a bit sad that Ella Tiritello didn’t get in with Bara du är där.
I think we’ve (KSP and I) convinced Mirinda that Mello is wonderful and she should never miss another one. Ever.
