Traditional Sourdough Rye in Switzerland part two

July 11, 2016 in Breads, Swiss Farm Tour, Traditional Diet 2 Comments

This is the community building for Erschmatt, which had been for many generations the communal village oven, where they baked all of their bread. It is still used as a community building for teaching and functions, and of course the oven. Susan was our lovely guide and baking teacher, and served us wonderful fresh mint … Continue reading →

July 8, 2016 in Breads, Swiss Farm Tour, Traditional Diet 18 Comments

It has been a long time since I have worked on the rest of my pictures and stories from our amazing WAPF farm tour to Switzerland we took a few years ago. We visited some farms in between this rye village, but I will get back to those at a later date. My long distance … Continue reading →

Swiss Photographs at the Antique Museum

Swiss Photographs at the Antique Museum

December 16, 2014 in Swiss Farm Tour, Tools, Traditional Diet 6 Comments

A very good photographer took some photos of Swiss farms and life in the Alps, probably pre 1930. I love these photographs, and this way of life, so much.

Swiss Antique Farm Tool Museum – part 1

Swiss Antique Farm Tool Museum – part 1

December 15, 2014 in Swiss Farm Tour, Traditional Diet 2 Comments

I adored this museum.  It was a four story museum with the most glorious and intricate antique farm tools, with an amazing dairy collection. We were shown an old documentary on hog killing and processing (which of course I loved) and also how they make a fruit type bread/pastry called Bauernbirnbrot. It is a rich … Continue reading →

Swiss Fruit Farm Store

December 12, 2014 in Swiss Farm Tour Leave a comment

This was our last night at the first youth hostel, and tomorrow we head to another area of Switzerland. I was overwhelmed on the first trip to the Swiss Farm Store, where they made and sold incredible fresh food, mostly grown on premises. This evening we walked the grounds, acre upon acre of fruit trees, … Continue reading →

Swiss Vending Machine

Swiss Vending Machine

November 9, 2014 in Photo of the Day, Swiss Farm Tour 4 Comments

Traveling by train back to our hostel caused quite a stir around the vending machine. Yes, there was the typical crap candy, but definitely a step up in the snack department from US vending machines. There also was a “life style” row, which had some different offerings. Cigarettes, lighters, red bull, condoms, pregnancy test, and … Continue reading →

Swiss Chicken Coop

Swiss Chicken Coop

November 8, 2014 in Poultry, Swiss Farm Tour Leave a comment

The Swiss are so ingenious. We walked the grounds of the horse farm, filled with every fruit tree and vegetable garden and while he was showing the group the chicken coop, I was fascinated with a small sheep shed. The feed and watering systems were set up so well, for ease in caring for the … Continue reading →

The delightful, serene surroundings at the horse milk farm definitely made us want to move in. The couple had graciously made a sumptuous homemade farm meal, which we all looked forward to. It took so much planning and care on our dear tour leader Judith, to seek out interesting farms and wonderful food for us, … Continue reading →

Milking Horses

Milking Horses

October 9, 2014 in Grass-fed Meat, Raw Dairy, Swiss Farm Tour 12 Comments

Why horse milk you ask?  Victor told us that there is a special hospital in Switzerland which demands his horse milk.  He says that horse milk is the ideal food for premature babies, the closest thing to human milk and full of unique enzymes.  These babies thrive when without it they absolutely would not.  The … Continue reading →
