Midsummer night on the farm

The longest day of the year in Norway is celebrated on June 23. It is called St Hans celebration and normally celebrated with big bonfires.




The problem is only that the last few years Norway almost had no rain, so the grass and trees are usually very dry around St Hans. Because of huge fire risks St Hans bonfires often become forbidden. This year we were lucky. Just a few days before St. Hans the rain came falling down and the fire ban was lifted.




In the mean time I had already decided to go for a Coffee fire, instead of a St. Hans fire. Of course served with the Norwegian traditional home made 'Rømmegrøt', served with 'Fenalår'. Only I gave it a glute and milk free twist, using 'glutenfri kakemiks', cocos cream and rice milk instead. I was told, it tasted just as well.




Many buckets with water around, just in case. Also several fire extinguishers.




A new tradition has started at Farris Permaculture farm, St Hans celebration around the newly build fireplace overlooking the most beautiful part of lake Farris.




Next year I will cut the grass in front of the view, so the view will even be better.
