Meet Esten !
Our crew member Esten is nearly 90 years old, and he has the biggest plans here in Annerstad….
First mission : life is too short to sit on the sofa - let’s move.
We met Esten ca. 10 years ago and he helped us (the big city guys) with farming issues and questions.
Since then our friendship has grown and he now even lives with us (as his family left many decades ago).
So, what is Esten’s vision ?
He would like us to build a home for cats on his farm.
Other than this his vision has always been to build a petrol station here in Annerstad right by way 25, because it’s too far to Ljungby and too far to Halmstad.
(Of course we discussed an ”electric petrol station” instead).
Esten would like us to expand his potatoe, strawberry and rhubarb field and grow so much that our restaurant won’t need to buy any from elsewhere.
Well, I don’t know if we will be able to fullfill all Esten’s wishes and visions, but we have certainly started with small steps.
Life writes his own stories, and the very same day that we put all his ideas onto paper, two homeless cats showed up at our farm, and they more or less moved in.
Also, we are looking into charging station possibilities (as an alternative to Esten’s ”petrol station” vision).
AND : we are trying to enjoy every single part of our days - we laugh as often as we possibly can.
(We laugh a hell of a lot).
Life is too short not to make new friends….
