Thanks for a lovely day, Aarstiderne!

We couldn't have asked for a more lovely day at which to enjoy Aarstiderne's farm at Krogerup at its best. The sun shone, the bbq sizzled and the sound of children laughing hung in the air as guests (young and old) climbed and played on the hay bales.

It was a special day at the farm for us at Soil to Stove and Annette Hartvig Larsen, CEO, gave an introduction to Aarstiderne (in English!) and told the inspirational stories of how humble dreams of organic farming were born and cultivated to the wonderful community-spirited enterprise that Aarstiderne is today.

There is no doubt that the warmth of the spring sunshine played a major part in drawing visitors up from the city but truth be told, the people at Aarstiderne know how to throw a good market day! In their straw hats and blue cotton shirts, the smiling teams of bakers, baristas and the gard butik staff all worked hard to put on a day of fun for everyone.

It is days like these that remind us why we are so excited about this blog and the opportunity we have to share the Aarstiderne story with you. It was lovely to meet those of you who made it to Annette's presentation (not least the wonderfully enthusiastic agriculture students from the University of Copenhagen) and to all those who we didn't have the chance to speak to - thank you for coming along and we hope you had an enjoyable day.

Wishing you all good weather and good cheer for the rest of the long weekend!
