Last week I spent some time in my home town Björkeberg – not sure if “town” is the right term for a place with about 100 inhabitants – but anyway, I discovered something nice. The neighbor farmer has together with a handful other farmers started Östgötamjölk. A local milk production company that allows consumers in the area to by fresh milk from cows in the neighborhood. So when I go to the grocery store to by some milk, I can just pick the package marked with, in this case, Gammalstorp, and I will know that the milk comes from cows next door.
I don’t know if this is a specific Swedish phenomenon, probably not, but none the less I like it. I like it a lot.
