This is an old picture, I'm working up hunger to cook burgers today but the problem is the hungrier you get the less energy you'll have.

I got some beef and horse that I'm gonna mix, add a little beef fat to make a nice 75/25 mix i think or 80/20.

I want to eat to have energy to cook what a paradox

Sound nice, really. Here in the Nordics I suffer from produce that's been plucked too early. Farmer's markets are good though.

I'm somewhat jealous to be honest, I'd like to participate in something like that. I do a little bit of cooking a sometimes preserving a little but eh, depression gets the best of me and cooking is the most I achieve most times.

Cooking for the whole day is nice though, with a little bit of wine on the side, lol. Then sitting down every now and then when something just needs waiting.

Thanks for sharing.

I don't think 450 a year sounds too bad tbh, especially when you use a lot of it. If you weigh it against a single person's needs like calorifically, then sure, yeah, but if you weigh the quality and quantity and the joy from good food? Doesn't sound that much.

I'm sorry about the depression; I very much understand that!

Try googling "csa [your country]" or "community supported agriculture [your country]". I did a very quick search on each of the three Nordics, and they each have some efforts underway. For example

Norway, 2023: "NIBIO researcher Anna Birgitte Milford has analysed the response forms from 390 cooperative owners in 45 different CSAs in Norway."

Finland: has at least one CSA called Rekola Farm (they've been operating for over 50 years), and there's apparently a Finnish CSA umbrella association. Their posts are mostly in Finnish so I don't understand many of the details, but the group is called Suomen Kumppanuusmaataloudet ry, and they seem to have a decent-but-not-overwhelming Facebook group going.

Sweden: andelsjordbruksverige.se says "It is estimated that around 100 CSA farms exist in Sweden today although there are no official statistics."

Anyway ... I don't know if any of the farms are anywhere near you (though check: some places have local drop-off locations, or will bring it to the farmers market), I don't know if the price will work for you, I don't know if you'll decide it's too much effort. But there may be options near you.

If you do decide to get a share, you might see if you know anyone who might split it with you. The first year or so can be overwhelming.

Whatever you decide, I hope you have a wonderful life, with much joy and less depression :)

Wonderful, thanks for the tips.

I'll keep it in mind.

It's a bit far, but we're I to move to Tampere, then it'd be close.

I'm hoping for a change of life in the coming year so if I get a decent apartment and whatnot and cook again, I might get one.

Thank you. For the link and the care.
