Welcome to our family farm nestled in the serene forests of Tiveden, halfway between Stockholm and Gothenburg. Our family Lisa-Linnea, Mattias, our 8 year-old daughter, and our 2 year old son, Sam invites you to experience life on the land, surrounded by nature, animals, and a variety of meaningful tasks.
Our farm is a diverse haven, home to horses, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and cats. We also manage a small B&B and are responsible for maintaining the nearby nature reserve, Högsåsen. With a vegetable garden, an agroforestry garden, and around 20 acres of pastures for our animals, our focus is on sustainable living, growing as much of our own food as possible, and enhancing biodiversity.
However, we can’t do it all on our own. Between our farm responsibilities and work outside the home, we need your help to bring our visions to life. Whether it’s tending to the land with scythe and axe, expanding our organic gardening efforts, or improving our practices for sustainability, your contribution will make a difference.
Activities may include:
Gardening and caring for plants in our vegetable and agroforestry gardens.
Feeding and tending to animals.
Maintaining and repairing buildings and fences.
Keeping the landscape open and diverse, including brush clearing and trail maintenance in the nature reserve.
Beekeeping, firewood production, and landscaping.
Horseback riding (if you’re experienced and interested).
A typical day begins with the morning animal check, ensuring they are watered and well. At 8:30, we gather at the farmhouse to plan the day’s tasks, which may include fencing, gardening, or brush clearing. Some tasks are shared, while others you may handle independently. We break for lunch, which could be at the farm or out in the fields, and then continue until around 3 p.m. After that, you’re free to enjoy the area—swimming, hiking in Tiveden National Park, or simply relaxing. Dinner is served at 6:30 p.m., often cooked over an open fire during summer evenings.
Accommodations
You’ll stay in a charming house within the nature reserve, about 500 meters from our farmhouse. The house includes a living room, two bedrooms, and a kitchen. Water is available outside, and there are dry toilets.
Life on the Farm
Life here is vibrant and unpredictable. While we plan our days, unexpected events—like curious B&B guests, a loose horse, or a baby needing a diaper change—bring spontaneity and charm to farm life. Flexibility and a sense of humor are essential, as no two days are ever the same.
Join us for an enriching experience, where you can connect with nature, learn sustainable farming practices, and be part of our family’s journey toward living harmoniously with the land.
