Västernorrland

Hello! My name is Linda-Marie and I run a KRAV-certified organic farm growing vegetables, flowers, fruit and berries. We also have a farm shop selling our own produce and processed goods alongside other organic products, as well as a Farm House where we pre-cultivate plants, process harvests, serve Fight Food Waste lunches and run a small café. During the year we host a few events such as a plant market, an ice cream party and Thin Bread Day. The farm is located 20 km south of Örnsköldsvik in the High Coast World Heritage area, surrounded by beautiful nature and outdoor opportunities. My family includes my partner, our five children and a rabbit. We live next door to the farm, and I am the main person working here. My partner helps when he can and looks after our bee colonies. Most of our time is spent in the vegetable fields planting, watering, maintaining beds and caring for the crops. We are gradually building a low-dig system using mulch and cover crops to improve soil health and reduce weeds and watering needs, and we enjoy sharing what we learn along the way. Depending on the season, we also work in the orchard, garden and small cultivation areas, and sometimes build simple structures such as planting tables or plant supports. We take breaks when needed, support each other and believe that no question is a silly question. We create the place together. We eat lunch together every weekday and sometimes share dinner as well. We offer a plant-based diet with the option of eggs. Breakfast and most dinners are prepared by yourself, using food from the farm harvest and the farm shop. Accommodation is provided in a small cottage on the farm, with access to the Farm House kitchen, water and toilet facilities. I love learning new things, whether it's languages, music, painting, farming or cooking. There is plenty to explore in the area, including hiking trails, the High Coast Trail, Nätra Fjällskog and nearby Skuleskogen National Park. You can also visit second-hand shops, swim in the sea or nearby lakes, and enjoy the nature that makes this part of Sweden so special.
