Constructing a Greenhouse, Crafting a Sauna & Brewing Rhubarb Wine
Östergötland
My farm is a small and evolving place where I combine growing, creativity, and community. I cultivate cut flowers—especially tulips and dahlias—as well as vegetables for my own use, such as cucumbers, beets, asparagus, tomatoes, and salad greens. The farm is not just about production, but about creating a living environment where people can gather, connect, and experience something meaningful.
I am in the process of developing the farm into a space that includes a summer café, accommodation for guests, and a welcoming atmosphere for friends and visitors from around the world. Alongside this, I also run a separate business where I offer online courses in AI.
Right now, I am working to make this lifestyle and the farm itself financially sustainable. It’s a journey of building something that is both meaningful and economically viable, so that I can dedicate myself to it fully in the future.
My vision is to create a place where we grow not only food and flowers, but also joy, connection, and inspiration—together.

I have been a WWOOFER at the rbck farm for six weeks and had a great time there. Each family has their own house and they live close together. I stayed at the simple guestroom on the attic of a little shed, close to the house of one of the families. In their house I was able to have breakfast, use the toilet and shower and use the washingmachine. Each family has a guestroom, so there's room for more then two WWOOFERS. Lunch and diner were prepared by one of the families, usualy every day at another home. Sometimes the WWOOFERS are asked to prepare lunch for everyone.
When it comes to working at rbck; weeding is the most important task, I did that a lot. But what I also did; watering the plants in the greenhouses, planting seeds, beans, corn, broccoli and onions, rake, digging, preparing the fence for the pigs, placing cut grass around the vegetable plants, placing cardboard on top of weeds around bushes, cleaning, taking care of the hens, preparing the soil for planting, helping to get the caf ready and watched the children.
In my free time I went biking by the Gta Kanal or to the nearest village and I visited Linkping, Motala and Vadstena by bus. If you want to see more of the area you'll need a car. The families have made me feel at home and I have learned a lot about ecological farming and living!
