Hej! Are you tired of growing your avocado seed on the windowsill? Or maybe you want to experience what self-sustainability feels like?
We offer an escape to the countryside at our small-scale certified organic farm, in the middle of Sweden. Our vision is to give back food its rightful value and rebuilding the relationship with both food and its origin. We grow what we ourselves want to eat. Join us grow, tend, herd, harvest and eat what the farm produces and gain a unique understanding for where food really comes from.
Our animal livestock contains of 10 cows, 85 sheep. Every spring the number increases to about three times when the animals give birth to their young. We also have around 30 egg-laying hens. We grow vegetables outside on about 5000 m2 and tomatoes and cucumber in a heated greenhouse of 380 m2. We have a farm shop where we sell our produce and other things we like from our region.
The days at the farm depend on the season and weather but can typically look like the following: 08:00 ready for work, daily care for animals or garden tasks, 10:00 coffee/tea break, continued farm work like seeding, weeding and watering, 12:30 lunch together prepared by todays cooking responsible, continued farm work like fence mending, trimming, checking animals, 16:00 end of day and time for a swim or rest, we meet again for dinner at about 19:00.
The closest town is Katrineholm, at 20 km, and buses go frequently there (2 km to a bus stop). We invite you to use our bikes and get to know the neighbourhood, or use our canoes and spend a day visiting the beautiful creeks around us. Please observe that we can not welcome smokers (or other uses of tobacco) to our farm since the tomato plants are very sensitive to tobacco.
Certifications: KRAV (Main Organic Rulemaking organisation in Sweden)
Accomodation: All wwoofers get to sleep in a real bed, in a house. Some wwoofers have to share a room, but we do not mix boys and girls. Some sleeping rooms are in a house without a toilet - you have to walk 40 meters to another house. We supply bed linen and towels. Breakfast is made in a wwoofers kitchen, and some of the meals are cooked and eaten there as well.
Internet access available.
