The spring took us quickly to the summer and the summer … it will soon take us further … Now the days are truly getting shorter again. The energetic June and July provided us with twice as much time as usual. All time spend well. All time spend with reflections and mindful moments during harvesting, restoration and training. So grateful for valuable help from family and friends - old and new.

This season has enriched us with craftsmanship, carpentry and wood work. So many milestones, so many achievements, and so many awaiting challenges.

The animals remind us to breathe and let go and to appreciate the moments.

Worries about the grass and the growth, the fodder and the winter season make the pleasure of the intense summer weather somewhat ambiguous also at Østreng. The weather and the work we are enjoying invite to reflections about the many long lasting processes at the farm. We need to plan for the future, and still appreciate every moment. The last week's major project of spreading horse compost for future growth has been accompanied by arranging for new arrivals at the farm. Four chicken babies are growing up, a super cozy hut has been installed, and today we were happy to welcome two rabbits; Sprø løk and Eira, to the Østreng family - either for summer holidays or permanent occupation. Never a dull moment! We love processes!
