Experience an
offline holiday!

Book your stay at Södra Gård if you want to encounter an offline holiday. As a result of almost no phone reception you are able to disconnect with the world for a short period of time. Relax, take a breath and enjoy the beauty of Sweden: NATURE! Our farm is surrounded by large pine trees, 360 degrees, and ensures a close contact with wildlife. Predator birds hoover above our grassland and moose pass through the forest. Lastly, you might even see a lynx when you are really quiet!

BE a Volunteer at Södra Gård!

With so many projects we could use your hands at our farm! No experience required.

At our small family farm we are setting up a small business that involves renting out cabins, tents and outdoor activities. Yet we also want to live as sustainable as possible and aim to be at least 60% self-sufficient by 2030. With these two goals we have a lot of ongoing projects.

What can you expect as a volunteer?

projects in building, gardening and animals
overnight stay at our bell-tent in the food forest
have plenty of free time in the Swedish nature

We always request our volunteers to stay for mnimum a week as you need time to integrate in our routine. You will have 5 days with 5 hours of work and 2 days off. Three meals a day are included in your working days.

Activities

Sjöänds skans

Without expecting any threats, the Germans surprisingly came closer to the Swedish-Norwegian boarder. This action caused a big wake-up call within the Swedish army and many different fortresses were built within a few days. Sjöänds skans is only one of the many and lies at the border of Glaskogen.

Nature reserve Brännan

Enjoy the rocky side of Årjäng municipality by taking a hike at Brännan nature reserve. A reserve with a big heart for nature in a way you might not expect. It is worth to combine this trail with a Swedish fika while enjoying the view.

MarieBergsSkogen

Visit Mariebergsskogen when you visit Karlstad. It is a great city park at the heart of Karlstad. You can learn more about small livestock and wild birds, enjoy a good restaurant or go out in the small forest to have a BBQ while enjoying the history of the park.
