Description
We are a family with three children living on a small farm in northern Sweden. We grow lots of vegetables and keep some 20 sheep, two cows, two horses, chickens and cats. We also have bees for honey. Our philosophy is to try to be as self sufficient as possible, taking it step by step. Horse training is a big interest as well. Both sport horses and working horses to use in the forest. Except for the constant work with the animals there is always lots of maintenance to be done as well as fencing, building and renovation.
