Unfortunately we are fully booked this summer! I hope you will find another nice place to be. And please send us a message early next spring if you are interested in coming here next summer. đ¤
We are a family who has chosen to live in the countryside, surrounded by forest, and embrace a partially self-sufficient lifestyle. We are passionate about food, art, culture, and history. On our farm, we grow vegetables and care for a variety of animals, including sheep, cows, and chickens.
At our farm, you can immerse yourself in our daily life, which includes caring for the animals and tending to the garden. You can also participate in gardening, building small and large structures, making use of natural resources, fishing, hunting, cooking, crafting, creating art, or simply enjoying peaceful moments. You will meet us, our two children (aged 17 and 19), our dog, two cats, and often our neighbors or relatives who visit on weekends.
We are part-time farmers and work in the nearest town to support ourselvesâme as an antiquarian and my husband as a journalist.
Organic Methods We Use:
Reusing resources
Mulching
Permaculture principles
Natural grazing
Locally produced food
Small-scale farming
Fishing and hunting
Harvesting wild plants
Certifications:
We are too small to be officially certified, but we practice ecological farming and feed our animals with local organic food.
Current Projects:
This summer, we plan to start up our herbal garden. This winter I have been studying herbalism. We will also pick wild herbs and make things from it. We also plan to continue building swedish traditional fences around our gardens.
Our daily activities include gardening and animal care, such as building and repairing fences, moving animals, weeding, digging, watering, and other farm-related tasks. Since food is essential for sustaining outdoor work, we share the responsibilities of cooking and household chores.
If time allows, we also work on restoring our timber houses or other ongoing projects.
