The Farm
"Be a small farm with big ambitions"
We are a family of four living and working on a small permaculture farm, where everything we do is guided by care for the land, our animals, and our community. Our days revolve around growing healthy food, tending to our gardens, and raising our animals with respect and attention. By working with natural systems rather than against them, we aim to create a balanced, regenerative environment that supports both people and nature.
We offer locally produced food, including fresh eggs and seasonal vegetables, grown without chemicals and with a focus on quality and sustainability. By selling directly to our community, we keep our food fresh, transparent, and connected to the people who enjoy it.
Animals at Södra Gård
Our animals are the heart of our farm, raised with care in a system that respects their natural behaviors and well-being. Our pastured chickens live outdoors on fresh grass, where they can scratch, forage, and thrive. We move them to new ground every other day, ensuring healthy soil, happy birds, and eggs that are rich in flavor and nutrition. The result is eggs that truly reflect the quality of life our animals enjoy.
We also raise meat rabbits in a calm and natural environment, with a focus on both animal welfare and sustainability. Our rabbits have three nests each year, and we occasionally offer young rabbits for sale to others who are interested in raising their own. This allows us to share not just our products, but also knowledge and opportunities for more people to take part in small-scale, responsible food production.
In addition, we keep traditional Linderöd pigs, a hardy heritage breed well-suited to outdoor living. They are raised slowly and naturally, and we offer high-quality pork once a year. For those interested in poultry, we also sell Silverrud’s Blå baby chicks—an active and beautiful Swedish breed known for its unique egg colors. Together, our animals are an essential part of a diverse, regenerative farm system that values quality, transparency, and respect for life.
Volunteering on the farm
“Coming to volunteer at Kimberley and Stefans farm in Årjäng was the best decision I made. I got the best farm life experience that I wanted, they made me feel so welcomed and involved from the beginning. They taught me so much during the volunteering work from gardening, animals, fencing, berry picking and so much more, I feel like Ive left the place with so much of knowledge. We had great conversations about almost eveything that I felt so conformable during the entire stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in volunteering in a farm.
I hope to come back and volunteer again in the future!
P.S: They also make delicious food 😋”
Be brave and be a volunteer at our farm! Experience the joy nature gives us and share your knowledge with us. Let us build a community together. A place to feel happiness, calmness and trustworthiness.
We are looking for enthousiasts who would like to stay for at least a week with us on the permaculture farm. You will help us for a few hours a day, five days a week. In return we offer you a great holiday possibility. You will sleep in a decorated bell-tent, have a compost toilet and heated outdoor shower. We provide you three meals a day, mostly eaten together. If not together, we make sure that you will have all ingredients to make a meal on your own.
We are happy to receive single travellers or doubles. The tent is spacious, yet you will not share the place with unknown persons to you. The farm activities are often carried out with either one of us, but sometimes you will be on your own due to our house rentals.
Pets are allowed, if they are socialised with other animals. Our animals roam freely on our land and are social to!
AVAILABLE SPOTS: March-October 2027
The faces behind Södra Gård
Let's meet!
Meet our small family at the farm Södra Gård.
In 2023 we moved to Årjäng to start a small scale permaculture farm with our oldest, Elin. With no experience at that time we took the chance and risk to start somewhere new. Simply because we felt there is more than a life in the Netherlands.
Currently, 2026, we have more than 100 hens, 20 rabbits, 2 cats and 2 dogs on our farm. We will expand our animal business with pigs and sheep in the year 2027. This way we aim to be more self-sufficient every year. hopefully we reach 70% by 20230!
Our farm products can be bought in our small shop, REKO-ring Årjäng or with a business contract. LOCATION
We also offer typical Swedish cottages, a glamping (from 2027 available) and retreats. Find more on this about on our personal pages, see buttons below.
We cannot wait to meet you, as a guest, as a volunteer or perhaps as a customer for our farm products!
We wish you health and prosperous.
Kimberley, Stefan, Elin and Evi.
