Gourmet medicine from the plateau – Vossabia at the Reindeer Meat Conference 🐝

You heard right – Vossabia at the reindeer meat conference! What does a small beeswax and herb workshop from the west have to do with reindeer from the highlands? Well... surprisingly much, actually! 🤩 

Ready to give a lecture at the Reindeer Conference! 🤓 With raspberry-colored lips, I'm ready to take the stage! 💋
 
Innovation Norway Arctic called me a couple of months ago and wanted me to give an inspirational talk for reindeer meat producers, skilled family businesses and others who were attending the reindeer meat conference in beautiful Tromsø.
Vossabia has 21 years of experience as a small family business with great growth, and after I won the national Business Development Award in Agriculture for 2024, many people have been interested in hearing my story and how Vossabia operates and operates by using the resources around us 💚 And here I am sitting in Tromsø and writing, and thought I would share this great experience, new insights and meetings with very nice people and a very exciting industry 🙌

Nice in Tromsø!! 🐝 By the way, Vossabia is always there, even at the conference table! 
 
Reindeer meat and Vossabia – two different industries, but I would say the same heartbeat 💓
Reindeer farming is a value-based industry and food producer that manages nature on nature's terms. They bring culture, nature, sustainability, belonging and deeply rooted knowledge to everything they do. And there's no substitute for meat. Reindeer meat is a health bomb! It's even great for the skin! 💪

Vossabia products and reindeer meat – health from the outside and inside!
 
Reindeer meat is a superfood! Full of vitamins B, A and E – more than lamb, chicken and beef – and as much omega-3 as what you find in shellfish and seafood. It has a perfect fatty acid composition and is bursting with minerals: copper, selenium, zinc, iron and more. A raw material with power, culture and quality – which is good for both the inside and outside of the body. When we also anoint ourselves with wild herbs and natural power from Vossabia, we get the best of both worlds 🌿🦌
 
Vossabia is both a value bearer and a steward of nature on nature's premise. We share the same respect for nature and culture, for the ancient eternal knowledge, for craftsmanship, and we contribute to providing holistic experiences and strengthening health 🙏 Because that is what Vossabia is also founded on, it is our solid foundation. And this common understanding makes it feel like meeting old relatives here at the reindeer meat conference 🤝

It's not often that we have Taco Friday, but when this came on the screen, there was no doubt about what was coming on Friday! 😋
 
What a joy to meet these amazing producers that I feel so connected to. It's always fascinating to feel this sense of belonging - the feeling of being in a family with people who work in a completely different industry than yourself ♥️

Finnmark Rein, Røros Rein, Stensaas Reindeer Slaughterhouse, Vågå Tamrein, Skodi Tamrein… these are companies that contribute the healthiest, most sustainable meat possible in the world! And think about the animal welfare! 🏞️ The animals graze freely all year round, shepherds look after them and lead them to good pastures. They run freely and eat mushrooms, herbs, grass and roots, as well as the important reindeer lichen – nutrition that the human body cannot absorb, but which the reindeer transform into pure energy! ⚡️

It's not hard to see how this lifestyle makes reindeer a natural dietary supplement – and it tastes absolutely delicious. It's like I say about honey: It's GOURMET MEDICINE 👩🍳🩺

But it's not just the ingredients that get me so excited. I also love how many of these companies use the whole animal.
Take Stensaas, for example - they now have a project where they grind up bone and use it in glaze on ceramic dishes and bowls! So now you get reindeer from wide to plate - literally 🥣 Both on top and inside!
Such creativity and respect for the raw material is something to be proud of 🌾

I was lucky enough to receive some smoked meat from Stensaas as a gift after my talk, and it went down a treat! So tasty, so healthy, and a perfect little snack 😋 So now I've ordered more which will be in the mail soon!
 
Skodi Rein also has many good dried meat products that can be easily sent by mail 🚚📦 so I got to test out their online store now too, and both heart, tongue and meat snacks will be arriving in the mailbox soon!
It will be a perfect complement to what I call our skin diet – that is, Vossabia and nature on the skin. What we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in ourselves! 🐝 Vossabia is not just cosmetics, but an important part of my diet 😌 Conscious choices about what I put into and on my body show how Vossabia and reindeer go together 🤝

I told my aunt Emma a lot about reindeer when I met her after the conference, so now I hope she has opened her eyes to this amazing ingredient 🤩 And she should, she who studies right in the center of this heritage. And what a joy to meet our dear Emma who enjoys living and studying here in the Paris of the North. We joked and joked and ate delicious food, and of course we had to take some selfies Vossabia on the mouth. Check out Aunt Renate and Emma then! 💄🥰 Nice with Kingfishers and Raspberry Lips !

E After this quick trip to Tromsø, it's now straight home to where nettles and horsetail are waiting to be harvested in large quantities 👩🌾 Luckily, my good team picks while I'm out and about too, but it's a matter of standing, so I'm looking forward to standing bent over the plants and filling basket after basket in the future 🧺 Spring has turned into summer at home, while here the horse hooves are barely coloring the brown ditch edges yet. I feel like I've traveled back a month and a half in time 😅

Thank you for two great days Tromsø and everyone at the Reindeer Conference, thank you Innovation Norway for the invitation and thank you Emma for the cozy cafe visit 🙏💖 Then all I have to do is pack my little travel kit that I always bring with me when I travel with just hand luggage, and of course I have Soft Hands and lip balm ready in my pocket for the flight 😄✈️
