And because it&#8217;s important to us that you eat well and honestly here, we consciously don&#8217;t make it easy for ourselves when it comes to food. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We buy our reindeer meat directly from local reindeer herders, and the moose meat comes from hunters in our valley. You can hardly get shorter supply chains. The classics on our table are halibut, reindeer, and moose; we usually also have moose soup, sometimes reindeer soup. In the garden, we grow various ingredients for our teas.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there are the berries. Blueberries, raspberries, and cloudberries \u2013 the orange-colored multer, whose season here begins at the end of July \u2013 we pick by hand. Some of them later end up in our muffins. In autumn, cranberries are added.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"892\" data-id=\"5111\" src=\"https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/blaubeeren-und-moltebeeren-gepflueckt-1024x892.jpg\" alt=\"Two people showing bowls of freshly picked blueberries and cloudberries\" class=\"wp-image-5111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/blaubeeren-und-moltebeeren-gepflueckt-1024x892.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/blaubeeren-und-moltebeeren-gepflueckt-512x446.jpg 512w, https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/blaubeeren-und-moltebeeren-gepflueckt-768x669.jpg 768w, https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/blaubeeren-und-moltebeeren-gepflueckt.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5115\" src=\"https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/preiselbeeren-im-herbst-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ripe cranberries among green leaves\" class=\"wp-image-5115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/preiselbeeren-im-herbst-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/preiselbeeren-im-herbst-512x512.jpg 512w, https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/preiselbeeren-im-herbst-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/preiselbeeren-im-herbst-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/itw.hoerdemann.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/preiselbeeren-im-herbst.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year is different: This time, the raspberries in our valley ripened significantly later, and there were far fewer than in the two previous years.
