Is there a farm in the countryside?

Anastasia was very clear from day one in Sweden that she wanted to see a farm and she wanted to see animals. So, after our visit to the mini-canal, we took a drive to the other side of Töreboda to Sötåsen, the high school for young farmers. It's a working farm with lots of animals and they seemed very welcoming to visitors.

First we saw a goat who was quite friendly, then we saw some new born calves who were also eager to be petted. Next up, the pigs, which Anastasia was excited to see.



Anastasia accidentally touched the electric fence, which wasn't fun. But Eva helped her to understand that it wasn't going to hurt for long. Then we met Pierre, who took us around the farm a bit more, to see the milk cows in the fields and the young cows, who were grazing nearby.

Next we went on to see the big pigs. I was shocked by how big these guys were. Anastasia was a busy photographer during at this visit.





It was time for lunch so we headed back to the house for a some pyttipanna (or fried leftover hash) with eggs. And ice cream, of course.
