We have Cosy Changes for Christmas Vinarterta Bec

We have Cosy Changes for Christmas Vinarterta

Because you care about what's in your Vinarterta, and because you want more than just any Vinarterta.

Vinarterta is a unique cake made for an exceptional tribe of heart-centred people.

As part of the Vinarterta Tribe we know you want to know where your food comes from, what's in it, and the makers. And you want the best for yourself, family, friends and the planet. Especially for Christmas.

You want health and a positive impact on your body and mind from what you eat….along with love and connection. And Icelandicness.

We are now using local small-scale producers of ingredients, as much as we can, to achieve even more value for our customers. More in terms of superior quality, health, uniqueness, connection to community and social consciousness is the goal.

The increase in the price of ingredients and transportation this year is shocking (and unavoidable) so we’ve decided to put that increase into the hands of local and connected businesses who benefit from our support.

We continue to use our own unsweetened plum, cranberry-rhubarb and apricot jam fillings, locally sourced free-range eggs and cream, handmade extracts with Reyka Vodka, fresh ground organic spices and Nordur Salt Icelandic Flaky Sea Salt.

I hope our changes help you to enjoy the Vinarterta experience even more for Christmas 2021!

Our Gluten and Dairy Free Vinarterta is made with the same standards.

Order Online for Cake Delivery. Our Made in Canada, made to order Vinarterta Cake ships everywhere.

'Tis the season.

A Real Viking Warrior has Powerfully Awoken. The Real Valkyrie. 
If you’re like me you’ve imagined being her.

…Or Viking Queen, from time to time.

This new book is a must-read: ‘The Real Valkyrie: The Hidden History of Viking Warrior Women.’

In this compelling novel, Nancy Marie Brown makes Valkyries and shield-maids real through her saga rich story imagining Bj585, the unknown warrior woman buried at Birka, Sweden between 913-980 A.D.as Hervor.

Long thought to be the grave of a male Viking warrior she was buried in a highly crafted pagan chamber grave called a ‘house of the dead'.

“The Real Valkyrie is my attempt to lay a powerful myth to rest: The myth that Viking women stayed at home, keys on their belts, while Viking men, carrying swords, raided and traded from North American to Byzantium, Bagdad, and beyond.” - Nancy Marie Brown.

At Vinarterta.ca we have created some amazing Gift Packs with @nancymariebrowniniceland’s The Real Valkyrie. Lots of Vinarterta and Icelandic Treats for Gifting @omnomchocolate @nordursalt @thermakota
It's so good you may want a gift pack for yourself.

Mother Margret, this Icelandic prairie born force

Mother Margret, this Icelandic prairie born force of nature, is 92 today. We'll deliver to her a requested lobster dinner and then sing and celebrate through a window. As always, under every condition and happenstance, through every season and year of our shared lives, she remains connected to a tangible, unshakable and peaceful higher place. Margret-Mother-Amma-Auntie is Soul Food for her family, children, grandchildren and dear friends. For hope in all things seen and unseen, for the knowing of our certain achievement of dreams and goals, we need look no further. So much love. Til hamingju með afmælið elsku mamma.

Win our Vinur (Friend) Vinarterta. Our friendly Vínarterta for sharing!

At the @thevikingimmigrants Laurie Bertram’s book launch.

“Grand prize for the book launch on Friday Dec 4 at 12 noon EST/ 17:00 GMT (11 am in Winnipeg)! The cardamom pods I posted yesterday are a key ingredient in vínarterta, the striped torte and major #obsession in the Icelandic North American community.

Because I cover the history of vínarterta in my #book (and because it is usually served during the holidays), I thought people would appreciate the chance to win one made by Arden Jackson of vínarterta.ca, one of the most respected vínarterta makers around. The First Lady of Iceland, Eliza Reid, will be joining us to talk about writing, heritage, and holiday traditions. Register for the launch at bit.ly/Vikingbook to join. We’re giving away a few copies of The Viking Immigrants: Icelandic North Americans while we’re at it!”

Vinkona 2020PÖKKI Sweet Pack – The All-Things-

When I think of Afi, I think of catfish, cribbage,

When I think of Afi, I think of catfish, cribbage, children and Christmas.

Afi was all about focusing on priorities.
When he faced a pandemic, I suspect that he did what he had always done.

He would listen, make decisions and take action to care for his family. Then he would fix his nets, push his skiff out onto the lake, and fish.

Amma focused on her priorities too. But, instead of fishing would prepare for the abundance of fish on the way to her. She would fire up the stove, make bread and healthy nutritious meals, and of course some Vinarterta, and other baked treats as a gift of love.

I'm thinking about our family members and friends who have faced enormous challenges in the past. Including, like us, the imminent potential of terrible illness in their communities. It is the teachings of our elders who can lead us to health and safety, if we listen.

I remember stories of my Afi as the guy who returned from WW1, unharmed, only to lose a leg to a hunting accident at home. And yet, he raised nine children, first as a Dairy Farmer, then as a Fisherman. Mighty Lake Winnipeg was a familiar and reassuring resource, unlike any other, for those indomitable Icelanders in New Iceland.

Afi's house and family, and his life on the water, and the ice, were the most important things to him.

Afi was strong, confident and unshakable. He moved in alignment with what he believed to be good. His quiet reserved, straight forward, hardworking approach brought him into balance.

I can still hear Afi humming, with his voice low and see his prosthetic leg stretched out, as he worked on his nets from the stool beside the mink shed.

It was the same place he shared his skill of fileting a Catfish with me, before we went in the house to play Cribbage.

It was the same place he drilled holes in a spruce tree trunk to add more branches to make the Christmas tree fluffy and full.

Afi saw perfection in catfish, cribbage, children and Christmas.

Every day, he ate a good breakfast. Set out his nets. Brought them in. Never retired. Made commitments. And kept them.

He loved everything about us always, unconditionally. Just as I love you.

In Remembrance: Letter to Einar 1918 is to Einar J

In Remembrance: Letter to Einar 1918 is to Einar Jóhannsson Stadfeld from his brother Hallgrímur Jóhannsson (Grímur) Stadfeld. It was in Halifax, Nova Scotia on September 22, 1918 during WW1 that these young men prepared for war, trained, competed in sports (those boys from the Riverton area were fast runners), dreamt and thought about home…..

Dear Brother,

Sincere thanks for your letter which I was so happy to receive. You will have to forgive me for how long it took me to answer, but I’m going to make up for it now.

I am absolutely fine. I have plenty to eat and little to do. I have a good bed to sleep in, and most of the men here are friendly, and easy to get along with.....
To read the whole story see link in bio.

I am now on a coastal ship – a trawler – that is called ‘St. Eloi’ and is here in the harbour, as is common for that kind of ship. It has one gun with a 12 pound ball (shot), and about 12 men. It is one of the best ships here and has recently been fixed up. I expect that it will leave here fairly soon.

Because 2020. Magnificence. No Matter What. I’ve

Because 2020. Magnificence. No Matter What.
I’ve been noticing that great sunsets are happening now. And shorter days mean this year is almost done. The sun is setting on 2020.
And, because 2020, more magnificence is absolutely mandatory.
Since I’ve decided we’re making cake for Holidays and Christmas. (Já! Yes!)
I’ve also decided to put together some special offerings for you.
If you are feeling WTF about this year, I’m working on reworking that for you.
I asked myself….really, what can I do to give you more love?
It’s time to define 2020 as a beautiful sunset, for you, for family, and friends. It’s an opportunity for a defining moment of change.

Check out the link in bio. A New Vinarterta! Our New Kaffi! And Gift packs with @nordursalt and @omnomchocolate !

You are. Like Yggdrasil.
(The Tree of Life. The Source of the Nine Worlds.)
According to Norse Legend it is the mighty tree that rises at the center of the geographic and spiritual cosmos.
As a part of the Nine Worlds, one of the main roots is Miðgard. The space of humans.
These 30 year old trees have a way to go, but for me, they are majestic.
And more, to me at every age and stage, you are even more magnificent.
I am so thankful for you. Even more than the trees.
You are beautiful, appreciated and loved everyday.
I am so thankful for you in my life.
