The Mannaminne Foundation instituted the Mannaminne Rake of honour in 2019 to honour Anders Åberg. In addition to the little rake, the winner will have the opportunity to use Mannaminne as an arena. The announcement of the first prize winner in 2019 took place on April 16, on Anders’ birthday and Hervor Sjödin was the first to receive the prize. The prize, a small rake made by the carpenter Leo von Euler, was awarded this first year in 2019 to the winner at a small ceremony when Mannaminne opened for the season.

“The rakes of the peasant women were very important for their livelihood. By beating the ditches between the fields, you got hay for one or two more calves. Two calves may have meant that a child could go to school and graduate. What an effect a calf and a rake can have! At the same time, raking is a way to keep something in order in the chaos and that you dare to say and clean up. ”

Quote by Anders Åberg from the short film Brave people.
