Andreas Viestad åpner Geitmyra gård for barna

Dette er bare nydelig! 
Andreas Viestad starter via sin stiftelse et senter hvor barn kan lære om gleden ved å lage og spise god mat, forstå hvor maten kommer fra ved å være med fra planting til høsting, se nytten av økologisk jordbruk og få en bedre forståelse av at våre matvalg har alt å si for vår fysiske og mentale helse. Dette er fantastisk og positivt og jeg ble så glad da jeg leste dette!
God hjemmelaget mat er i vinden heldigvis, men allikevel kan man jo tro til tider at de fleste får litt for mange pizza måltid.


"Vi er hva vi spiser" er ikke et nytt uttrykk, men en sannhet som har fulgt mennesker gjennom all tid. Vi er hva vi spiser, betyr virkelig det! Her kan barn lære at det er mye av det som vokser ute som ikke bare kan spises, men også har høy verdi.


De skal visst i første omgang åpne for skoleklasser og SFO men etter hvert vil de også ha åpne dager for hele familen. Her kommer det til å skje mye spennende fremover, det er bare å følge med:)


Dette skriver de i bloggen sin:
Vi vil involvere barna i hele verdikjeden fra jord til bord, fra å dyrke jorda og tilberede, servere og spise maten. Dette som et middel for å vekke sanser, og styrke bevisstheten og respekten for ernæring, lokalsamfunnet og forvaltningen av jorda.






Innenfor porten på Geitmyra Gård vil det meste være spiselig. Du kan nappe til deg noen økologiske bær, sukkererter, duftende urter eller en spiselig blomst. Alle barn som kommer hit skal uansett bakgrunn få en overraskelse i forhold til nye smaker og lukter, og de skal få oppleve å være bønder i byen.
Vi er i gang med å bestille frø, og veldig snart starter forkultivering av tomater. Så snart frosten er borte skal vi ta jordprøver og starte arbeidet med å bygge en kompost.
Ta gjerne kontakt med oss om du har spørsmål eller innspill til den økologiske dyrkingen på Geitmyra Gård: idun@geitmyra.no

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL MOTHERS ON EARTH!

Just realized its Mothers day and how perfect is it not that I have Chocolate Hearts in the fridge and Chaga tea on the stove?!! My subconscious must have known. Thank you for Self Love :))


What a way to start the day:) 


Apparantly its only Mothers Day in the UK, but I say lets celebrate all mothers in the Universe:-)

Mange små rå hjerter

Hvem elsker vel ikke skjokolade og når de i tillegg er laget av rå økologisk skjokolade og sunne søtningsstoffer blir de små lekre mineralbomber.
Hmmm. hjerteformede og himmelske!!



Sånn ble de til:


Jeg smeltet kakaofett på svak varme i vannbad- omtrent en kopp


Så tilsatte jeg:


- En klype havsalt
- Som søtningsstoff blandet jeg Stevia, Honning og Kokosblomstsukker - ca. et par teskjeer
- En halv teskje vaniljepulver
- Litt Chai pulver - bruk det du har og det du liker. Her var det kardemomme, ingefær, anis etc.
- En spiseskje Maca
- En halv teskje Reishi - for å få den magiske effekten


Til slutt hadde jeg i skjokoladepulver gjennom en sikt. Det skal omtrent dobbelt så mye pulver i som fett. Det blir en ikke alt for tykk rennende røre. Da er det bare å helle i små former, eller legge på et brett med bakepapir under.


Jeg brukte små hjerteformete former av silikon. I bunnen av hver form la jeg et par Gojibær, litt hempfrø og litt bipollen.
Så er det bare å sette i fryser eller kjøleskap. Jeg var utålmodig så disse gikk rett i frysen og var klare i løpet av et kvarter. De ble super gode!

Sprouts for LIFE

Sprout are the sign of life aren`t they? The best way to obtain good health and beauty is to include living food in our diet. These sprout are a wonderful source of protein and they also have lots of enzymes and enzymes is the answer to everything. Enzymes is needed for all bodily functions and they are especially important for eliminating toxins in our body. Making sprouts is easy and inexpensive and they taste delicious. You can use them anywhere, they add a lovely crunch and taste in salads.

Here I have used Mung beans. I soaked them overnight, rinsed them and put them on a sprouting tray until they sprouted. You can also use a glass jar, just remember to rinse them a couple of times a day at least. Once they are done I keep them in a jar in the fridge.

Look how pretty:-)

The Love starts within

What Truly Wild time we are living in!  Aren't we all experiencing how the old man way of greed and disrespect for nature is threatening our existence here on our beautiful planet?! 
Like most people I have been thrown off balance by the news from Japan, and it has taken me a couple of days to find back to my centre. Japan where I spent so much time and that I love is now going thru hell. I can not even imagine the fear they must be experiencing. News of the toxic waste that now will travel with the winds make me worried about us all and especially my friends in California. 
Addicted to fear, aren`t we all? Good news is we have a choice and these experiences are forcing us to make healthy decisions on how we want to live our life. Lets not any more give out power away to people and systems that don`t support our well being. Time to let the old ways go, tear down the walls and be true!

Now I am so grateful for my meditation and breathing techniques that helps me connect to source and stay in harmony. I am back on track, making plans, creating to-do lists and enjoying myself. Creating feels good. Its all about the love isn`t it!. Love revolution, here I come:-) 

Too much information, who to trust? Keeping it simple. I follow the people that I believe come from a loving place and that are on a true mission. Davis Wolfe has sent out information on what is taking place and what supplement people and animals can take to protect themselves. I am so grateful for him. I have sent this info to my Japanese friends who have been very grateful for the info. If you want to listen, here it is.

Shazzie who always has`a way of making us all smile, put out a wonderful video on how to tap away the fears. It has now become part of my daily morning routine. Do you know about tapping? Tapping is fun and easy and has helps us clear out old blockages by clearing the meridians and thought patterns. It really works! I love this one, if you don`t want to see all, you can skip to 12 minutes. Now sun is shining and I will go down to my new favorite hang out, the cafe on the corner:) No flowers yet, but lovely tea and people. 

Lovely day to all!What Truly Wild time we are living in!  Aren't we all experiencing how the old man way of greed and disrespect for nature is threatening our existence here on our beautiful planet?!
