"It has been a rainy a quite warm October here in north Sweden. My kitchen garden is still delivering cabbage in different forms and since they can manage minus degrees I will keep on harvesting them even when the snow comes. I love to make food from my own garden! Local ecological food 😊"
-Karin Fällman Stenlund, Norsjö, Sweden, Gold of Lapland
"Welcome to my view today! 🍂🍁

- Elsbeth, intern at Arctisen in Copenhagen
