Small regenerative farm, B&B and retreat center in Northern Sweden
Västernorrland
We are a young family (Jana 38, Alex 35, and Rio 3) that run a small farm with accommodation close to the High Coast in Sweden. Here on the farm we have a vegetable beds, berries, 30 laying hens, forest, and an Eco House which we run as a B&B and occasional café and event venue. Our intention for the farm is for it to be a place where people and life in all of its forms can recharge, be inspired and fully more fully alive. We are a mix of nationalities (Swedish/US American and German) and speak English, Sweden and German.
There is no end of tasks and projects you can take on here at the farm. Here are a few examples depending on the season:
Winter: snow shoveling, carrying and piling wood, and tending to the hens
Spring: seeding, preparing vegetable beds, preparing greenhouse for planting
Summer: watering, weeding, harvesting, tidying accommodation rooms, moving hens according to our rotational grazing schedule and collecting eggs
Fall: harvesting vegetables and berries, closing vegetable beds, preparing the greenhouse for winter housing for the hens
WWOOFers stay in Bagarstugan (which means Baker's Cabin) from April-October. It's a lovely small cabin with a double-bed, small oven, and a basic kitchen. There is no running water or toilet. For showers and toilet you are welcome to use the bathrooms in the guesthouse (except during tourist rush hours in the morning/evening), as well as the outside toilet 20 meters away. One project might include building an outside shower in you're up for it!
We will provide all food you will need. You can have breakfast in the cabin, and we will provide you with e.g. homebaked sourdough bread or buns. We will have lunches together during the day, featuring ingredients from the garden as much as possible. We usually eat simple meals on our own in the evening, but we will make sure you're taken care of too.
We enjoy spending time in nature and slowly but surely helping this place become what it wants to become. We are very much at the start of our journey of running a place like this ourselves and we are constantly learning and trying things out.
We love bringing people together here for occasional concerts, talks, courses and cafés here at the farm. And we enjoy exploring the mystical and spiritual side of life.
We try to be conscious about our use of digital devices, especially with our son. In and around our house, at meals and when spending time with our son, we ask you not to be mindful of not using your digital device.
Our farm is set in a calm valley with where you can take beautiful walks and bike rides (we have bikes you can use when guests don't rent them). The Ångermanälven river is a 20 minute walk away where you can swim and enjoy the community sauna. During the summer there are grill nights and concerts in the area that you're welcome to join us at.
Only 20 minutes away is the High Coast, a popular destination for hiking and walking, with stunning views and beautiful trails. There are also several islands you can visit with ferries to get a taste of Swedish seaside life.
SVENSKA:
Vi är en ung familj (Jana 38, Alex 35, Rio 3) som driver en liten gård längs Höga Kusten. Här har vi grönsaksbäddar, bärbuskar, 30 värphöns, skog, och ett ekohus som vi driver som ett B&B och evenemangslokal. Vår intention med gården är att den ska vara en plats där människor och liv i alla dess former kan slappna av, inspireras och känna sig mera levande. Vi är en mix av nationaliteter (svensk/amerikansk och tysk) och pratar engelska, svenska och tyska hemma.
Det finns ingen gräns för hur många uppgifter och projekt det finns här på gården. Här är några exempel beroende på säsong:
Vinter: snöskottning, bära och lägga ved, och ta hand om hönsen
Vår: sådd, förbereda grönsaksbäddar, förbereda växthus för plantering, ta hand om hönsen
Sommar: vattning, rensa ogräs, skörda, städa i boenderummen, flytta hönsen enligt vårt roterande betesschema
Höst: skörda grönsaker och bär, stänga grönsaksbäddar, förbereda växthuset för vinterhus för hönsen, ta hand om hönsen
WWOOF:are bor i Bagarstugan från april till oktober. Det är en mysig liten stuga med dubbelsäng, en liten ugn och ett enkelt kök. Det finns inget rinnande vatten eller toalett i stugan. Ni välkomna att använda badrummen i gästhuset (förutom under turistrusning på morgonen/kvällen), samt utomhustoaletten 20 meter bort. Ett projekt skulle kunna vara att bygga en utomhusdusch!
Vi tar hand om all mat ni behöver under er vistelse (och ni får gärna bidra till att laga mat om ni känner för det). Ni kan äta frukost i stugan och vi ser till att ni har t.ex. hembakat surdegsbröd eller frallor. Vi äter luncher tillsammans under dagen med ingredienser från trädgården så mycket som möjligt. Vi äter vanligtvis enkla måltider själva på kvällen, men vi ser till att ni har något att äta också så klart.
Vi tycker om att spendera tid i naturen och att sakta men säkert hjälpa till att utveckla gården. Vi är precis i början av vår resa att driva en sådan här gård själv, och vi lär oss ständigt och provar olika experiment hela tiden.
Vi älskar att samla människor här för enstaka konserter, föreläsningar, kurser och kafé. Och ger plats för att utforska den mystiska och andliga sidan av livet.
Vår gård ligger i en lugn dal där ni kan ta vackra promenader och cykelturer (vi har cyklar som du kan använda när gästerna inte hyr dem). Ångermanälven ligger 20-minuters promenad bort där ni kan simma och njuta av den gemensamma bastun. Under sommaren finns det grillkvällar och konserter i området som ni är välkomna att hänga med på
Bara 20-minuter bort ligger Höga Kusten, ett populärt resmål för vandring med fantastiska utsikter och vackra stigar. Det finns också flera öar som man kan besöka med färja för att njuta av sann svensk skärgårdsliv.

We stayed at Allstä Gård for eleven days, and it was even greater than we expected.
Everyone was so nice, we had agreeable time with Alex and Jana (who are the best cooks ever !!). We enjoyed our time of work, because every project was very interesting, and we learned a lot of things during our stay.
It was a warm and friendly ambient , we really got to know everyone, and also had interesting conversations.
In addition, we really enjoyed the time we spent with Rio, who is adorable!
If our journey in Sweden was so memorable and nice, it is mostly thanks to you, so again thank you so much !

I had an absolutely wonderful first WWOOFing experience at Allsta gård and I couldn’t have asked for a better place. From the very beginning, I felt welcome and at home, Jana, Alex and Rio are warm, open, and truly create a special atmosphere.
What I also appreciated was how thoughtful everything was. Tasks were as far as possible adapted to our interests and wishes and we planned the work together, which made the whole experience very collaborative and enjoyable. There was also a genuine awareness of balance, the other WWOOFer and I received great tips for days off, which made it easy to explore the absolutly great area.
The variety of tasks was amazing and made every day interesting. I had the chance to help with fermenting, take care of Rio, bake sourdough bread, build a shelf, paint walls, clean the b&b room, work on hotbeds, and help care for chickens (and we even made cinnamon buns!). I learned so many new skills and felt that my contribution was truly valued.
Allsta gård is a really special place with so much heart and potential. I left feeling inspired, grateful, and enriched by the experience. I would highly recommend this place.
