Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
We have signed up for REKO which is an organisation that operates on a similar basis to the AMAP in France (which has a suburban farm on the outskirts of Sainte Geneviève des Bois that we visited in August 2013). In Finland REKO operates through Facebook, so Peter and I will just have to bite that proverbial bullet!
In a nutshell, an event is created on REKO's facebook page and then producers offer their produce and buyers reserve what they want and everyone meets up once a week on a carpark in Ekenas to buy/sell. We don't have much to offer at the moment but hopefully the blackcurrants will be ready by next Wednesday and I have already ordered some sausages. Here is a brief explanation in English And here is a link to the Facebook page (closed group). REKO has its own website (in Swedish) here.
