Flavours of the Arctic
Thanks to the midnight sun and our bright summer nights, we gain an extra month, making it possible to grow multiple crops at our latitude. At the beginning of summer, the rivers flood the fields, making the soil fertile and easy to work with once the water level has returned to normal. The light, the fresh air, and productive grounds together make the wild berries and grown vegetables filled with healthy vitamins. Every bite tells a story of the destination, of us who live here, of the people before us and our future generations.
