Enjoying life on the farm

A farmhouse breakfast to enjoy

A farmhouse breakfast is just the thing for starting your day with an energy boost. In the mornings, guests can enjoy healthy, genuine products from the farm like fresh milk, honey, bread and home-made cakes and jams that evoke the fragrance of summer. These products are accompanied by specialities carefully prepared in the farm kitchen. Where else, if not on the farm, can you try 'Niggilan' (a local variety of doughnut)?

On lots of farms you can not only enjoy a generous farmhouse breakfast in a cosy wood-panelled dining room or in the garden in summer, but breakfast may also be served in handy baskets left in front of your door. You'll find products from the farm such as bread, cakes, juice and home-made jams, meaning that enjoying the most important meal of the day can be done in pyjamas.
                                                                               
Breakfast in sync with the seasons

Breakfast on the farm is shaped by seasonal rhythms. So what is there to look forward to?
  • In springtime, you can try freshly-baked bread with butter and garden cress or young shoots.
  • In summer, the main ingredients are fresh fruit and vegetables straight from the garden and orchard. Fruits from the farm such as cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines and berries make the perfect ingredients for preparing delicious fruit salads or mixing with yoghurt. Carrots, celery or gherkins can be enjoyed raw with home-made cream cheese.
  • In autumn, farm guests can benefit from an abudance of produce and enjoy fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables (apples, grapes, quince, pears...), which may be used for preparing pumpkin jam, quince jelly and damson puree.
  • In winter, you can taste compotes and dried fruit, accompanied by naturally-cloudy apple juice or a warm herbal tea prepared with herbs from the farm. During this season, farmwomen breathe fresh life into a number of well-known winter breakfast classics and add a touch of cinnamon or vanilla to damson and apple jams.
