I enjoyed my visit to J\u00f8ss\u00e5sen Landsby (Camphill Village) here in Malvik in the inland higher part of Malvik kommune. It’s too long since I visited!\u00a0 Inger Line \u00d8deg\u00e5rd, who is also KVANN’s (Norwegian Seed Savers) events secretary, had invited me up to do a walk and talk about the edible wild and cultivated plants. Inger Line is working at J\u00f8ss\u00e5sen as part of her biodynamic BINGN education.
\nWe found both planted Hosta, Daylilies and Hops \u00a0around the houses. We also found many wild edibles, notably\u00a0burdock (Arctium tomentosum<\/em>), alpine bistort (harerug), caraway (karve) and sorrel (engsyre). We talked about the huge potential of growing perennial vegetables in higher areas like J\u00f8ss\u00e5sen and KVANN’s Sansai group which are trialling perennials in mountain areas.
\nAfter the walk, Inger Line showed me the vegetable gardens and greenhouse which she has responsibility for.<\/p>\n
