Bookshelf Made from Cryptomeria in our Backyard

Using our new toy to create lumber from all the trees we have felled in the last few years.

We bought a portable sawmill from the Swedish Logosol Company.

Using a chainsaw to power it, Magnus is able to create boards of all sizes in our own backyard.

After making the lumber, the fun of carpentry begins.

Using a portable generator and a handheld grinder, Magnus lets the inspiration flow and plays in the swirling patterns inside the wood.

Spring Chickens

New technology is great. These little machines till the soil, eat insects and weeds, and return manure to the soil. After three weeks in this garden, the soil will be perfect for planting tomatoes.

After three years of experimenting with goats, sheep, ducks, turkeys and chickens...we have discovered that chickens are the best meat source for our lifestyle.


This year we ordered 40 chicks that are bred to grow fast and stay stupid! Ideal for our fruit farm we hope.

Our egg laying hens are doing excellent, and reproducing regularly.

Konswan built a new chicken pen to replace the one destroyed by a stray Acacia tree last year.



The new pen is large enough to allow the chickens to free range, but keeps them out of our veggies.
