Jamtli Julmarknaden

Today I visited Jamtli, the folk museum in Östersund for the annual Julmarknad. Of all the hundreds of vendors selling local food and crafts, one man stood head and shoulders above the rest by virtue of his craft. Meet...The Moose Farmer!

A very clubbable fellow actually--he let me take a picture of him. He was selling fresh moose-milk cheese. Each cow gives three litres per day, no joke. I can't wait to get back to Alaska...
