Our familyrun farm is located in the beutiful countryside in the south east of Sweden. Our farm has been organic since we started 20 years ago. If you want to stay an a farm with various kinds of animals and like to learn more about selling directly to customers ,then this is maybe your place:)
We are a family of 5 and our children are born 2004, 2007 and 2011. One dog and two cats are also part of the family.
We raise grazing pigs, hens and cows. On our fields we grow a various kinds of crops but also veggies for house use. We have had a lot of agriculture interns on the farm before and have been Whoof hosts one time before and we really enjoyed it.
