Yesterday afternoon (8th May 2017) before my evening talk at Nabolagshager, I was invited by Heidi Bjerkan to visit her newest project, Vippa, in Oslo and what a fantastic place it is with amazing views of the Oslo harbour, Hoved\u00f8ya and Ekeberg (see the pictures)! Project Vippa on Vippetangen in Oslo is a response to Oslo Harbour Authority’s wish for serious projects that can contribute to the revitalization of this area. Heidi Bjerkan, who has previously worked as head chef for the Norwegian royal household (slottet) and whom I\u2019ve got to know in Trondheim where her main project is the restaurant Credo, and in particular through our collaboration during the Trondheim film festival Kosmorama in March (see http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?p=10184<\/a> and http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?p=10138<\/a> ). Credo is currently re-establishing itself in a new location in Trondheim.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With these two projects running in parallel, Heidi is an extremely busy woman! Vippa opened only a month ago with its streetfood concept and already has a good reputation (most people that I’d asked knew about it) and the number of people visiting has been over expectations. The aim is that Vippa will be a food, culture and learning centre for the people. I am privileged to have been asked to act as adviser and inspirator for local farms producing the food for both restaurants and planting of edimentals around the restaurants and on the roof of Vippa, in particular perennial permaculture inspired plants! I am happy to do this as sustainable food production and recycling of food waste to make soil is an important part of both Credo and Vippa concepts and the adoption of permaculture in this way may be a first! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
