A regenerative farm in the heart of Ăsterlen, where animals, vegetables and people live and work in harmony with nature.
My name is Angelika. In 2017, I left city life behind to follow a dream â to create something meaningful. Just days after first seeing this farm on May 17, the purchase was complete, and the journey began.
Today, this is a living farm shaped by the seasons. We raise free-range Gotland sheep and laying hens and grow vegetables and cut flowers in living soil, without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Everything we do is rooted in regenerative principles, respect for nature, and long-term care of the land.
The farm is home to:â¨
⢠150 laying hensâ¨
⢠150 Gotland sheep (ewes and lambs)
â¨â˘ 2 dogsâ¨
⢠3 farm cats
We sell directly to our community through the REKO ring, our farm shop, cafĂŠ, and local restaurants â no middlemen, just real food from real soil.
During high season, the farm comes alive with markets, cafĂŠ days and gatherings. We are also building a creative off-grid space called Dragkroken â a small village with vans, tiny houses and converted caravans. Together, we have built an outdoor summer kitchen where we cook, share meals and gather in the evenings. It is a growing space for creativity, simplicity and community.

đ WWOOF Life Here
We work 5 days per week, with 2 days off (usually together). The rhythm of the day follows the needs of the animals and the season.
Accommodation is in our off-grid village Dragkroken â in a van, tiny house or cabin. Youâll have access to kitchen, shower and toilet. We often share meals and fika together, and food is provided. Bicycles are available, and we can pick you up from BrĂśsarp bus station (7 km away).
Minimum stay is 2 weeks. Longer stays are appreciated, as it takes time to settle into the rhythm of the farm.
We value curious, grounded and hands-on people.
Itâs a big plus if you have interest or experience in:
⢠Organic growing
â¨â˘ Animal careâ¨
⢠Building / DIYâ¨
⢠Forestryâ¨
⢠Creative thinking & community living
As a Wwoofer, you become part of daily life here â and we hope it will feel like home while youâre with us.
If this speaks to you, we would love to hear from you.
