When summer abundance becomes autumn supplies

September is our harvest-preservation month here at Den Lille Hagen. While summer's fresh herbs are still with us, and the garlic is finished drying from the summer, we work to preserve the flavors and nutrients for the whole season ahead. It's both practical and economical – and it ensures that we always have locally produced garlic and herbs from Fjære available.

We dry, freeze-preserve, and store in ways that respect the plants' natural properties and maintain quality.

Autumn preservation from our farm

• Dried herbs stored in glass jars
• Garlic hanging in a cool place
• Freezing of fresh herb blends
• Storage of grain varieties and seeds
• Documentation of the harvest for next year

Everything from our farm in Fjære – from the eggs to the honey to the herbs – is meant to give you the best of the Agder summer all year round!
