Welcome to our farm
We are a family (Erik, Liselott and our two children Idun 4 year, Astrid 2,5 year). We live on a small farm in the middle of Värmland in Sweden. It's a beautiful place with a stream close to he farm. We have sheep, chickens, rabbits and three cats on the farm. There is also wild animals as moose, roe deer and wolves.
Its always something to build or repair.
We have a big poly-tunnel greenhouse to install on the farm.
Expand the vegetable-garden.
Build a loghouse for guests to stay in.
And we try to create space for new ideas. We are very open for your creativity. It's nice that volunteers can put their personal marks on their work for us to keep them in mind. It is also important for us to follow your interests to give you a good experience on our farm.

We are not experts but we know a lot about our lifestyle, animal husbandry and gardening.
Erik is an all-knowing person, a great visionary and full of ideas.
Liselott has many interests with some knowledge about them. For example, edible wild herbs for food and medicine, soap making, making skin cream with beeswax, oils and herbs. Liselott has a lot of interest in the crops, birds, animals and nature.
We are happy to learn and get an exchange of knowledge and interests :)
Daily routines include taking care of the animals and cooking.
You are welcome to play with the kids. They love the attention! :)
