\n
On Sunday I finally found the opportunity to visit my friend and fellow Norwegian Seed Savers (KVANN) board member <\/span>Andrew McMillion<\/span><\/span> who lives on a small farm in Nes, Akershus! We were joined by Amandine from France who is doing an Msc in Agroecology in \u00c5s (Norway). She had joined us in Trondheim and Malvik at the KVANN weekend in June!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In Andrew’s tunnel greenhouse I saw several plants I’d never seen before and Andrew’s belief in the importance of diversity in a secure food production is evident everywhere! His greenhouse reminded me in fact of Alan Kapuler (Mushroom)\u2019s amazing kinship (biodiversity) gardens in Oregon, USA (see http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?page_id=3325)
\nIt’s amazing how Andrew grows\u00a0 what for many are impossible vegetables with minimal additional heat!
\nOutside, he is developing the ravine on the side of the property with perennial vegetables! He is also a champion of Shetland Cabbage as a future hardy vegetable in Norway and this is one of many vegetables he offers each year through Norwegian Seed Savers!!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I look forward to following Andrew’s projects over the next years!!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
