BONES THE PLACE AND THE FARM
ENGLISH EDITION
|
ON THIS MAP OF EUROPE YOU WILL FIND A MARKING , WHERE THE LOCAL MAP IS PLACED. BONES IS THE TINY PLACE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOWER HALF OF THE LOCAL MAP. IT IS NOT A CITY, NOT EVEN A VILLAGE, IT IS SIMPLY A FEW FARMS, AND SOME OTHER HOUSES PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WILDERNESS, IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF CIVILISATION, NORTH OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. AND IT IS A PARADICE ON EARTH FOR DOGS....AND THEIR OWNERS. |

WELCOME TO MY WORLD.
THE WORLD OF ELKS, REINDEER, BEARS AND WOLVERINES. AND SMALL FARMS PRODUCING POISON FREE FOOD IN AN ARCTIC CLIMATE AS COLD AS IN ALASKA, AND UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
YOU MAY WELL ASK IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE UP HERE, WITH SNOW COVERING THE GROUND 7-8 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. AND YOU MAY THINK US STRANGE TO WANT TO LIVE HERE. BUT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN HERE, AND SEEN THE NATURE WE LIVE IN, FELT THE FRESH AIR, OR LISTENED TO THE SILENCE.
IT IS A LONG WAY FROM EVERYTHING. THE NEAREST SHOP IS 35 KM AWAY ON SETERMOEN, SAME WITH GASOLINE, DOCTOR, ETC. NEAREST HOSPITAL IS 125 KM AWAY, AND IF WE WANT TO BUY ALCOHOL, WHISKY, COGNAC ETC WE HAVE TO TRAVEL 75 KM EACH WAY. SO PLANNING IS AN IMPORTENT PART OF OUR LIFE.
BUT THE BENFITS OF THIS PLACE ARE MANY. WE HAVE OUR OWN WATERSOURCE, NEVERENDING SUPPLIES OF CLEAN FRESH WATER, WITH NO CHEMICALS ADDED, THE AIR IS CLEAN AND UNPOLLUTED, AND WE HAVE LOTS OF FORREST AND FIELDS TO LET OUR DOGS RUN, PUT OUT TRACKS FOR THEM, GO BACKPACKING, ANYTHING YOU WISH TO DO WITH YOUR DOGS.
ALONG THE RIVERS THAT CUT THROUGH THE VALLEY, WE HAVE DIRTROADS WELL FIT FOR BICICLE RIDING, AND FOR WALKING. MILES AFTER MILES OF THEM, AND THEY GO INTO THE WOODS, TO THE LUMBERSITES, UP INTO THE VALLEYS, AND STOP AT THE EDGE OF THE WILDERNESS. FROM THEN ON THERE ARE ONLY PATHS TO WALK, BUT AT THE END OF THE PATHS WE HAVE CABINS WAITING, WITH ROOM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE TO STAY OVERNIGHT, AND GOOD FISHING IN THE LAKES. IN WINTER WE GO SKIING, AND IN SUMMER WE GO HIKING TO THESE CABINS.
POLAR ZOO
10 KM FROM WHERE WE LIVE, DOWN THE VALLEY, IS THE POLAR ZOO LOCATED. HERE YOU CAN WALK INTO THE WORLD OF THE ANIMALS, AND SEE THEM ALIVE, WOLVERINE, BEAR, ELK, POLARFOX, LYNX, WOLVES, ALL OF THE ANIMALS IN OUR FORRESTS ARE KEPT IN BIG NATURAL HABITAT PENS, AND ARE POSSIBLE TO SEE. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A PEEK AT THE PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN THERE, CLICK HERE.
THE FARM
MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A DAIRYFARM, WITH COWS OF THE LOCAL NORWEGIAN BREED CALLED NRF (NORWEGIAN RED CATTLE). WE BUY SOME GRAIN TO FEED THEM, SINCE GRAINS WILL NOT RIPEN AT THIS LATITUDE, BUT MOSTLY WE GROW THE GRAS THEY EAT OURSELVES. TOGETHER WITH OUR NABOUR AND GOOD FRIEND TOR, WE HAVE BUILT A CO-OWN NEW STABLE FOR OUR COWS. TOGETHER THE TWO FARMS HAVE A QUOTAOF 260 TONS OF MILK TO PRODUSE , AND THIS IS PRODUCED BY CA 43 COWS. WE ALSO SELL SOME OF THE CALVES THAT THE COWS BREED, THE BULL CALVES VERY YOUNG, THE FEMALES AS PREGNENT HEIFERS.
OURFARM IS OR HAVE BEEN HOME TO A LOT OF OTHER ANIMALS AS WELL. YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR PICTURES ON THE SITE CALLED ANDRE DYR (OTHER ANIMALS).
