YOU ARE SO LUCKY. 🍀 So lucky to be living in such a beautiful place. So lucky to grow your own food. So lucky to have grazing sheep that keep the landscape open. So lucky to have a son that is an architect. . Is life just luck or is it just a matter of making the right choices?Life is full of decision making. Can we live with less money? Can we move out to the countryside without having any income? Could we grow our own food? Can we manage with one car?Are the choices you make giving you the life you want to live? Maybe you need some time away from it all and go somewhere where you can just relax. Spend some time in nature with us it could change your life.

Idag flyttade vi kor , nu börjar dom fatta grejen.
Smidigt följde dom efter till nya marker.
JAG VILL BO PÅ LANDSBYGDEN ”Landsbygden har blivit den ultimata flykten. Naturen är vad vi är och vad vi inte längre vet att vi är, en slags utomhusmedvetenhet, tydligt synlig och ändå osedd. Landskapen finns överallt omkring oss men har förpassats till det förflutna, ett jordbruksmässigt förflutet som har begravts levande under bekvämlighetens, industriella livets excesser. Den tekniska industrialiseringen av maten har skapat en allt större klyfta mellan landsbygdens och stadens verkligheter. Idag kan vi bo i en stad och äta så mycket vi vill utan att någonsin se en åker plöjas, mata en kyckling eller känna lukten av gödsel. Att leva och arbeta på landsbygden – att tro på dess gudomliga likgiltighet inför 24-timmarsnyhetscykeln, att lära sig njuta av dess till synes råa brist på urbanitet och att beundra dess till synes bakåtvända yrken – är en möjlighet att återvända till den mänskliga tillvarons livmoder.”- Michele Serra tillbringade större delen av sitt liv i Milano men bor nu i Apenninerna. Han är journalist, författare och dramatiker och skriver kolumnen "L’Amaca" för la Repubblica. 🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌SLOW FOOD Terra Madre

Have you heard of Colour Therapy?
Dating back to ancient Egyptians its a form of therapy that uses colour and light to treat certain health conditions. (Read list bellow)

Breakfast at the Orangery
I AM GOING TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE”. The countryside has become the ultimate escape. Nature is what we are and what we no longer know ourselves to be, a kind of open-air unconscious, clearly visible and yet unseen.Rural landscapes are present all around us but relegated to the past, an agricultural past that has been buried alive beneath the excesses of comfortable, industrial living. The techno-industrialization of food has created an ever-widening gulf between rural and urban realities. Today, we can live in a city and eat as much as we like without ever seeing a field being plowed, feeding a chicken, or inhaling a whiff of manure.Living and working in the countryside—believing in its divine indifference to the 24-hour news cycle, learning to savor its apparently crude lack of urbanity and to admire the seemingly backward vocations of its inhabitants—is an opportunity to return to the womb of human existence.” -Michele Serra Michele Serra spent most of his life in Milan but now lives in the Apennines.

Dagens träning för både hund och får
Midsommar i Dalsland går inte av för hackor. God mat i goda vänners sällskap i en idyllisk miljö. Kan det bli bättre?
Finbesök av Landsbygdsministern Peter Kullgren. Vi diskuterade frågor om småskalig regenerativt jordbruk, betesdjur, besöksnäring och landsbygdsutveckling.
Finbesök av @isabellemcallister och en beskrivning av det vi gör på gården. Tack Isabelle!
Early morning in the vegetable garden. The #muscovyducks help to keep the slugs at bay. See the whole reel to see who got away. #swedishcountryliving #ducks #countrylife #permaculture #westsweden #visitdalsland
Who let the sheep out?
Finally time to let the sheep and lambs out to graze after a long Winter. Wonder if the lambs can find their mothers? 🐑
