Experience the midsummer sun on our small regenerative farm with cattle in north Sweden
Västernorrland
Hi!
We, Beren and Stefanie and our daughter Sara, live on a beautiful little farm on the Swedish countryside. We share the farm with a growing flock of heritage breed cattle, heritage breed chickens, two senior dogs and a large orange cat.
Surrounding the farm is mostly forests, lakes, small villages and if the cows and chickens are quiet, silence! There is a great lake to swim 1,5 km from us and the nearest village is 15 km away and has a grocery shop, school and a gas station.
With regenerative agriculture we build topsoil, increase biodiversity and take care of the landscape and everything that lives in it overall. In practice that means a lot of fencing work and moving the cattle through the landscape! Another branch we will start to work with this year is the production of wildflower seeds.
Things that we need help with (depending on the period):
-Cuddling with the cows and checking on them. Especially during calving season in May-June we need to keep a close eye on them.
-Setting up temporal wire fencing for the cows.
-Mucking out.
-Mowing and weeding (around the cultivation of wildflowers for example)
-Cutting the grass under the fences.
-Cleaning fields of encroaching bushes.
-Growing vegetables/gardening.
-Sometimes building /maintenance projects.
Please write what you want to learn and why you want to be on our farm! We would also like to hear which skills you want to contribute to. You don´t have to be an expert in farming or have a lot of experience. Most important is that you are genuinely interested and motivated to learn new things.
There´s a cabin located 400m from our house which you can use. It has electricity and (hot) running water during summer and has two bedrooms with double beds, a small kitchen and living room. Please note that the toilet is for now just a bucket with a seat which must be emptied in the closed compost bin! We want to build an outdoor toilet as well but that is a nice future project.
If you like hiking in trailless forest, swimming, fishing or other outdoor activities, the possibilities are endless.
Some of our interests/hobbies: hiking, riding, drawing, reading, fishing, running, camping, nature, all kinds of handcrafts.
There is no Wi-Fi in the stuga but mobile data is usually available. There´s no TV either, just so you know😊.
Note that if you want to take your dog or other pet, to discuss this with us beforehand.

Thank you for staying at you farm Stefanie, Beren and Sara! It was a great stay and I did feel welcome at your place. It is a very nice family and I had also my privacy in the summerhouse. We worked good together and I had also good time for hiking. The animals were tame and frendly. It is a nice area into the nature with forest and lakes. Good for hiking and being outside. Good luck for all of you for the future.
Greetings Fred
