When it is summer in Trøndelag...

Summer in Trøndelag is more like a fantasy, it is mostly imagined rather than experienced. If you are distracted or busy you might not noticed that summer have passed you by... It was summer last Sunday, not many summer Sundays around here. We took the car and drove to Nord Trøndelag, to Frosta and Tautra. We were looking for organic farms, a fleamarket and found a lot more than we were loking for. It was one of the best days we had in around here. We found amazing vegetables, we bought great stuff at Åsen løppemarked, we visit the ruins of Tautra Abbey and ate at the restored barn of Valberg farm, a perfect summer.

Details of the entrance to the Valberg farm, where we had lunch. On Sundays they have a buffet in their renovated barn where they serve some traditional Trønder-Norwegian dishes made with locally produced ingredients and everything was soooo delicious. No pictures of the plates because I just can't manage to take pictures while I am eating or about to eat...

Ruins of the medieval monastery from 1250 in Tautra, Nord Trøndelag. In the neighborhood around the old convent Tautra Abbey a new one was established in the years of 1990 with the same name.
