Kajsa and Emil warmly welcome you to their beautiful farm, dating back to 1868, where they live together with their cat Mouche and sheep Bäatrice, Bärit, and Bärta. Here you'll also find chickens, bees, and a vegetable garden focused on self-sufficiency. The farm is continually evolving, and future plans include expanding our vegetable cultivation for local sales. We cultivate more than just the land—we also nurture creativity, as our farm hosts regular workshops in vocal improvisation and vocal process art, led by Kajsa. Here, music and art blend seamlessly with farm life. We have numerous dreams and projects where your help would be greatly appreciated! You might help build a new sheep shed, restore pastureland, or renovate farm buildings to welcome more visitors. Other exciting projects include creating a natural swimming pool or establishing a nut orchard. Self-sufficiency forms the foundation of our daily life, and activities range from everyday chores to long-term projects. Activities you can participate in and learn at our farm include: Sowing and planting Cultivating and harvesting Renovation and building maintenance Baking, preserving, and food processing Taking care of chickens, sheep, and bees Fencing, clearing pastures, and tree care Digging and creating garden beds A typical WWOOF day is planned together the evening before. We work from a list of current tasks, and you can choose to work independently or together with us. Together we create a beautiful and functional environment where life and creativity flourish. About us: Emil is a morning person who usually works early in the day. Living with MS, he works part-time, dedicating his remaining time to rest, socializing, cooking, and daily life activities. Kajsa is a singer and workshop facilitator who organizes cultural activities at the farm, integrating music and art with practical farm tasks such as gardening, cooking, and baking. In our spare time, we enjoy hiking, mushroom picking, swimming in nearby lakes and the sea, and spending quality time with friends and neighbors who share our passion for farming and animal care.

I enjoyed two weeks here on this wonderful farm. Emil and Kajsa are two lovely people who let me felt home from the first day on. In october wasn't that much to do in the garden so kept focusing on projects inside. We renovated an old barn that was fun :) They let me work independently but we did as well a lot of exercises together. I had a lot of free time which I spend with some hiking trips in the beautiful swedish area. Aside from that spend we time in the evening or cooked in the afternoon together. The whole days seemed very relaxed and that was a great feeling. The cutest thing was going out with the sheeps (: Beside of that did I have the chance to improve my swedish. They were very patiently talking with me. All in one it was a wonderful time I wont forget!

Längradna Kultur is definitely something I would recommend. I learned a lot and will remember this time forever. Witnessing the life of Kajsa and Emil is truly inspiring, especially for those who really want to learn about self-sustainability. The natural area is absolutely beautiful, and the place is considered remote - it has actual distance from cities and stores. Perfect for those who will not mind that. So again, I highly recommend and would not trade this time with anything!

It was the highlight of my summer!! I had the best time at Kajsas and Emils home! They both are so kind people and love to share their life at the farm. We had a lot of fun, I learned much about plants and gardening and could also share knowledge but especially asked lots of questions and had nice discussions. We went out in the mornings to work at the farm together or at parallel tasks, shared meals and cooked freshly from the garden. I harvested so many tomatoes and lots of other delicious vegetables. In the afternoons I continued sometimes outside but was also fermenting in the kitchen or took a bike to the sea! Loved Kajsas cakes and cuddle time with the cat!

I had such a rich and beautiful experience in Kajsa and Emil’s farm. I felt at home right away thanks to their warm welcome and generosity, surrounded by an unique environnement where nature expresses itself fully. Everyday’s work was a true pleasure, tasks were interesting and diverse, I learnt a lot !! Långrådna Kultur is more than a peaceful place, it offers a pure connection to nature and human and gives an understanding of how to respect them. I can only recommend to visit and work for them :-) Thank you again !

If you are searching for a place where you can enjoy a relaxing, varied and interesting Wwoofing experience, surrounded by equally varied nature and, on top of that, welcomed by very friendly, humorous and attentive people in a very cosy house, then get in touch with Emil and Kajsa (+ Mouche, the cat)! I would definitely choose to stay with you again anytime!

Thanks Kajsa and Emil! This was our first time WWOOFing, and our experience was everything we could have wished for and more. We took the bus from Stockholm to Valdemarsvik and they picked us up from the station — was really convenient when we came and left. We got to help out on the farm with renovating their guesthouse and some work in the garden/greenhouse. They really value biodiversity, and it was amazing to learn about how they implement sustainable farming practices. Kajsa and Emil were also super accommodating for different diets and always prepared dairy free food upon request. Food is very yummy! We generally worked in the mornings and had free time to explore after lunch. The surrounding area is beautiful with roads to bike or hike to lakes and the sea. Every day we had dinner together and with other volunteers — the most memorable part of our stay was the conversations and time spent getting to know one another and each others cultures. The accommodations are very nice too —very spacious with lots of privacy as the guest rooms are downstairs. Kajsa and Emil are such kind and welcoming hosts, they really made us feel at home. Would recommend to everyone!
