Our farm is situated in Jämshög village, westerly Blekinge on the border to Skåne (approx 140 km from Malmö) We breed dressage and show jumping horses as naturally as possible. We have 2-4 new foals every year. We try to educate them with love and respect for their different personalities. We grow vegetables, berries, and fruits organically. For the moment this is still just for family consumption but we expand the growing area every year. We use wild plants to prepare food (quiche, soup, pesto, sallads etc) for our own consumption and as gifts for friends. We produce our own firewood. We produce our own logs which are converted to construction timber together with two small-scale "sawmills". Inhabitants: 4 humans, 1 dog, 2 cats, 16 horses, and a lot of wildlife in our wood and fields. See some of the animals in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeoT3qQOAyU Learning opportunities: Sowing, weeding, and harvesting vegetables, berries, and fruit. Collecting wild plants. Taking care of stable, horses and foals. Repairing and building warm beds, seed beds, fences, pastures etc. Watch a video describing a normal workday at Råängen Gård. https://youtu.be/9FMR05I416Y We attend to the horses before noon (including eating a big breakfast together). After eating lunch (together) we have time for some small projects and individual activities and free time. In the evening we bring in the horses, prepare and eat a dinner together and then go to end up the day with food and water to horses and say good night. Already in February we start planting. In March we prepare the seed beds. And inspect and prepare summer and foal pastures. From April we start harvesting and collect wild plants. And the first foals arrive. April-May are really the peak of activity on the farm. So if your interested in seeing all our activities we really need help during this period. From May in-door cultivated plants move outside and other are sewed directly. In June asparagus arrives and weeding begins (!). And the years last foals are born. July to September are the big harvesting months. In August this years foals are presented at the local Foal shows. October means fruit harvest. And tree planting. In November we harvest the last black cabbage and close the seed beds for winter rest. December and January are maintanance months. And planning for next years growing season. And all year around we take care of riding horses, mares and foals. At our farm, we are very interested in cooking. We use first of all our own products, clean raw materials and local products. We have a big knowledge and interest in wine. We take great interest in society, climate and environmental discussions. Possible activities are walking, biking, bathing and swimming in the sea. For persons with prior riding capabilities, some of our horses could be used and riding lessons could be arranged. Guided fishing tours could also be arranged.

Maja and I spent about two months on Hans and Eva's farm (apart from Christmas and New Year's). Thanks to the daily porridge and the daily board game Lord of Waterdeep, a family atmosphere quickly developed. You have to be careful not to get addicted to these things, though, because we did! Our main tasks were mucking out stables and, due to the weather, walking the horses. We also planted lots of plants, so there isn't a single empty windowsill left in Hans and Eva's house. The food was always delicious, and the rooms were very cozy. Hans and Eva were always open and kind. Thank you so much for the wonderful time you gave us. We will definitely be back!

I have spend almost 5 months on Råängen Gård and it was the best decision to choose this farm. I felt like home since the first day. Hans and Eva are the most welcoming and lovely people I know, in addition to that they are both really good cooks! I enjoyed every single meal and especially while christmas I really appreciated their skills. But not only the humans are wonderful on this farm, throughout my time on the farm I could really get to know every single Horse and how they think. Hans trusted us a lot with the horses, so that I really felt a progress in working together with them. Spending time on the farm with the young horses is a great opportunity to improve your skills with horses, no matter how much you knew about them before. Hans and Eva are really inspiring in the way how they treat the horses and work with them, just by watching I could learn a lot! I will miss everyone on this Farm, especially my little favorite ztella, but I am already looking dorward to coming back. Thank you for giving me a second home for life! See you soon, Frieda

I spend one month at Hans and Eva’s farm and I really enjoyed my time there. Hans and Eva are lovely people and together with the other WWOOFers it really felt like home. The daily board games were really fun and all the meals we shared were amazing. I learned a lot about young horses and how to work with them properly. I really enjoyed working with them whether it was trailer training, indoor training, riding or going for a walk. During my stay it snowed and the farm looked like a winter wonderland. But due to that and some cold nights we couldn’t do that much of gardening work. Nevertheless I learned about how to harvest root beets, squashes and other vegetables and how to grow chillis and basilikum indoor. I had a really good time with Hans and Eva and I would love to come back some day!

I spent two months at Råängen Gård and it was a truly wonderful time. Staying with Hans and Eva, together with the other WWOOFers, felt just like being at home. We had a warm, supportive community and I always felt welcomed and well taken care of. Working with the horses was one of the highlights for me. It was rewarding to see their development and the progress we made together during training. The daily routines in the stables, gardening tasks, preparing the farm for winter, and occasional work inside the house offered a nice variety of activities. Outside of work, we shared many special moments: baking kanelbullar or chocolate balls, helping with cooking and playing board games almost every day. Eva and Hans are fantastic cooks, and I enjoyed every single meal. Many of them made with ingredients from their own garden, which we harvested ourselves. The conversations, the atmosphere, and the sense of belonging made my stay unforgettable. I am deeply grateful for all the experiences I gained on the farm, and I will always remember this time with great fondness. If I get the chance, I would love to return to Råängen Gård in the future.

I stayed 3 months at Hans and Eva’s farm and it was an unforgettable experience. Hans and Eva are two warm- hearted people who are not only very smart, but also have fantastic cooking skills. Whether it was the porridge and self baked bread in the morning or the various meals for dinner, the food was always a highlight. Their way of working with horses is truly inspiring, and it was really nice to watch them, learn from them, and also work with the horses myself. Getting to know each of them, with their unique personalities and quirks, was one of the most fulfilling parts of my stay. Råangen Gård became a true home for me over the past months, a place filled with kindness, learning, and memorable moments. Thank you for everything Hans and Eva

From the moment I arrived at Raängen Gärd, I felt like I had stepped into a little corner of Swedish magic. During my three weeks there, I came to know Eva and Hans as two of the warmest, kindest people you could ever hope to meet. Their way with horses is something truly special—gentle, respectful, and full of understanding. Watching them work made me appreciate even more the bond between humans and animals. What also struck me was their creative and thoughtful approach to living sustainably. They reuse, recycle, and find clever ways to give new life to things, all with a deep respect for nature. It’s inspiring in a quiet, everyday way—the kind of influence that stays with you long after you leave. Hans is the heart of hospitality. He has a gift for making everyone feel instantly at home—whether through a warm smile, a good laugh, or a plate of something delicious from his kitchen. He’s not only an amazing cook, but also someone who loves sharing meals, games, and of course, the Swedish tradition of fika. Raängen Gärd isn’t just a place to WWOOF in Sweden—it’s a place to connect, learn, and be inspired. I’m already dreaming of the day I can return and continue my Swedish adventure. Thank you, Eva and Hans, for making me feel like part of the family.
