Things to consider before booking All houses, rooms and apart-ments connected to Stay on a Farm are unique and live up to the organisation’s high minimum requirement standards. The classings will help you to see which standard you will be getting. The standard in a holiday home is fre-quently different from that of your own home. Furnishing may include modern as well as older furniture. Dinner sets and cutlery may not always match. Wardrobe space and storage facilities may be limited. The bedrooms are often small and do not always have doors for privacy. Water heaters may be smaller than in a permanent residence, which may mean that, for example, showers can-not be used by several persons in succession. It is wise to ask about the details of the living space at the time of booking. The countryside: You must expect flies, wasps and other insects in and around holiday homes. Nor can the landlord be held responsible for any cobwebs indoors or ants on the property. In the event of major insect infestations, the landlord should be contacted immediately so that the fault can be rectified. The landlord cannot be held responsible for any activities outside the boundaries of the property, including road works etc. Errors and omissions excepted.

Mandala painting Mandala painting is a way of focusing on the ‘here and now’. It is almost a meditative experience with a strong feeling of presence. And everyone can paint mandala! Mandala is Sanskrit for circle. The circle can be filled in or coloured freehand or with different geometric shapes or symbols. As you start from the middle, it automatically develops concentration. Mandala painting can also be seen as a window to the inside. It can be a way of opening up the creative flow and lead to greater self-knowledge. Spend a weekend at Enghult in Småland and paint 4 | stay on a farm 2012 under the guidance of Nina Skoland who is a diplomaed mandala instructor. At the end of days filled with mandala painting and home-cooked food, a good night’s sleep awaits in the guest rooms. “Mandala is partly about finding your part in the big picture – and you can do that so well on Enghult’s veranda”, says Nina. “You don’t need any previous skill to join the course”, explains Anna Ekströmer, BpL host at Enghult, ‘painting freehand based on a few set geometric shapes makes it easier to be creative if you are inexperienced.’ For more information, see www.enghultbb.se www.ColoringCastle.com Pilgrimages in Småland Put on your walking boots and set off along the newly opened pilgrim routes in Småland. Start in Växjö (V:a Sigfridsleden) or Markaryd (Nydalaleden) and aim for Nydala Abbey outside Värnamo, and if you feel particularly energetic, you could go to Vadstena and Nidaros! Stay on a Farm offers accommodation along the route, for example, Sånna Gård, Flattinge B&B, Gåvetorps Gård, Vegby Bolsgård and Mellskogs Gård. ‘The routes run along forest roads and gravel roads, through forest and past fields – typical Småland nature,’ says Marie Aaby-Ericsson at Gåvetorps Gård. ‘The roads are suitable for cycles, so they can be cycled instead of walked with daily excursions from the farms. Walking and cycling are one way to leave everyday life behind and enter your own world of thoughts – a nice way to spend time by yourself or with others. You will also get closer to the landscape than when you drive, and it’s easier to meet people if you want to.’ If you choose to go all the way to Nydala Abbey, you will really experience the history. The abbey was founded in 1143 by French Cistercian monks. The monks lived here for almost 400 years. Today, parts of the abbey, chapel and ruins from old buildings remain. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee and cake at the café and the medieval-inspired abbey garden. More info such as maps and sights along the route are available at www.pilgrim-smaland-oland.se Pilgrimage – an inner and outer journey Pilgrimages have an outer goal, often a church or holy place, but most pilgrims also have an inner goal. The inner goal of a medieval person could be to make amends for a crime or to offer the walk to God for someone else. For present-day people, the inner walk and the outer goal are about having time to finish thinking about something. Those who walk for a long time often look for a new start in life. www.pilgrim-smaland-oland.se Go lf we ek en d? 236 farms are less than 20 km from the nearest golf course!

It usually takes her an hour as there is a lot to prepare: sausages, bacon, white beans, eggs, pickled herring, ham and cheese etc, bread, milk, soured milk, cereal, muesli, juice, coffee and tea. Plus a few other things. “Breakfast is very important and it has sort of become my thing”, says Anki. “You should have a great start to the day! If I’m out travelling, I want to eat a hearty breakfast and I want the same for our guests too. Some of them will say ‘Look at this breakfast! There is no way I can eat this much!’ And no, you can’t. But you can pick something from the selection.” We are located on the farm Viksäter just outside of Ullånger in Västernorrland County. From the E4 it’s only a short drive along a gravelled road, just long enough to have time to unwind and leave the stress of the motorway behind you. Anki and Gunnar Hamberg have run Stay on a Farm since 2002 and it all started when the gold-washers competing in the Swedish Championships (!) not far from the farm were looking for somewhere to stay. And it’s been going ever since. “The best thing is meeting all the guests. We get on well with them, laughing and joking. It is actually a lot of fun! We like people and have made many new friends through this. The majority of the guests arrive in the afternoon or evening. I greet them at the farm, welcome them and show them the breakfast room, where they are staying, and ask them what their plans are during their stay. Many of them come for The High Coast World Heritage Site, but there is a lot more to see as well. I give them a map and tell them of the different excursions they can take in the area; Skuleskogen National Park, the orchids in Villmyran Nature Reserve, the islands in Högbonden and Ulvön, accessed by boat and our bicycle and walking trails. I also inform them that they can hire a raft, canoe, row boat, fishing equipment and bicycles on the farm.” A guest who is very familiar with Viksäter by now is Hans Larsson. His home is in Helsingborg, though all of Sweden is his office in his role as a salesman. Hans has stayed at various Bo på Lantgårdar over the years and Viksäter is one of them. “I run a fashion import business and also sell for others on a freelance basis – each year I clock around 60,000 km on the roads. I’ve been staying at Viksäter for many years and it’s great! I actually think the standard here is better than at regular hotels; I have a big room and can make my own tea or coffee when I get home in the evening, and the beds are comfortable. Add to that the fact that I travel with a lot of belongings which I would never have been able to leave in my car if it was parked in town.” In addition to Stay on a Farm being an affordable option – ”it makes a considerable difference when you spend 60-70 nights per year away” – Hans also appreciates that no two farms are the same. “Stay on a Farm is exciting. You get to see so many fantastic places and they are all different. Sometimes you stay in a manor house and sometimes in a farm house. Sometimes it’s first class, and other times a bit more basic. Sometimes of course it’s fully booked, and then you just have to try and find something else...” At Viksäter Swedish country style mixes with Oriental and African rhythms, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself staring into the intense eyes of a lion as you wake up. The furnishings are mementos picked up on the family’s many travels – one of them to India – and the African room comes from the son-in-law being South African. When you are a guest at Viksäter you can choose to relax and just be, or head off on an adventure in the region. Perhaps look for beavers from the solar powered raft? There is a small shop in the hall that sells everything from fishing floats to Indian bags in case you have forgotten something at home. “It all started with a guest forgetting her toothbrush, and it just grew from there”, Anki tells us. Once guests leave the farm, the room is cleaned and beds made. Towels are put out along with a little greeting note – all to make the next guest feel welcome. Bed & Breakfast – hotel feel in the country • With Bed & Breakfast your bed is made when you arrive and a hearty breakfast awaits you in the morning. The room is cleaned for you upon departure. • Today approximately 130 farms offer Bed & Breakfast. Throughout the entire country! • Prices vary, but generally range between SEK 300-450 per bed in a double room. • The Bed & Breakfast farms are marked yellow on the map and on the website. All you have to do is mark out the farms along your route! 6 | stay on a farm 2012 Sweden - the Alvdalen Valley… Some good friends of mine asked me if I still enjoy Stay on a Farm as much today as I did when we started in 1994? The answer is yes. Why? Well, because the entire world comes to visit us here at Hedgården and we have so many fun memories from guests who have become our friends. No matter where in the world we travel, there is always someone we can visit! A few years ago, a couple from Belgium came to spend a night. They had met a previous guest of ours who recommended us and now they were about to discover Sweden in six days. Once they had settled in to their room, they asked if they could stay another night. Sure, that would be fine. It ended up with them staying five nights. Hence, Sweden to them equals the Älvdalen Valley… They took a guided nature tour with Lars-Erik and a fishing tour with subsequent fish dinner. Among many other things. One morning when they came down for breakfast there was a sparkling engagement ring on Katrin’s finger! Philip had waited for just the right moment to arise on their holiday before proposing, and the right moment came here in Dalarna! To celebrate the happy news I brought out a bottle of sparkling wine, tied a blue and yellow ribbon around it and together with the other guests we all toasted and the Dutch sang. What a fun breakfast that was! When it came time for them to leave, Lars-Erik jokingly said ”don’t forget to invite us to the wedding.”. And would you believe, six month later an invitation to the wedding appeared! Isn’t it funny what can happen with guests!? Margareta Bohlin, Hedgården stay on a farm 2012 | 7 Your own house in the country A small and narrow road winds its way through a landscape of fields, meadows and oak forests. More than seven types of flowers grow by the side of the road. We are on our way to visit the sheep in the pasture together with the Spiering family from Lübeck. “There have been sheep on the farm since the 1960s, and these days we have some 40 sheep with lambs”, says Anders Svensson, host at Sånna Gård along with his wife Anna. The swallows are still flying low, though the thunder that was heard rumbling in the distance has been chased away by the sun and the sheep seek the shade under the large trees. The familiar sound of the food in Anders’ bucket entices them to come closer. They bleat, probably wondering who these newcomers are. Though slightly sceptical, curiosity takes over and they let themselves be patted by the careful hands of the children. The year-old lambs have grown big and are probably enjoying the lovely summer weather the same way we do. “The children wanted to try staying on a farm, so we searched online and found that it was available in Sweden too”, says Markus Spiering. The family, Britta and Markus and their four children (16), Anna (10), Lena (8) and 8 | stay on a farm 2012 Ida (1), as well as auntie Inga Sperling – will be staying at Sånna Gård for two weeks. They’ve got a lot on their schedule, among other things a trip to Falkenberg to visit a good friend, Store Mosse National Park and they want to check out the famous shopping centre GeKås in Ullared. The Swedish summer weather has appeared at its best so the activity the first few days in these surroundings, with its abundance of lakes, was obvious. “We have been swimming, swimming, swimming, and hiking through the woods, though unfortunately we haven’t seen any moose”, says Anna. Tomorrow however, an encounter with a moose is guaranteed as a visit to the moose park is planned! Markus and Mårten have scouted out a number of great fishing spots, though so far they have had no great fishing luck. Two tiny perch is all they’ve caught so far… The reason the family chose Sweden is simply that they like the country and the people who live here. They decided on Småland County due to the fact that the manageable driving distance from Lübeck. Previously the family has spent holidays in both Småland and Värmland, but this is the first time that they try a form of accommodation without really knowing anything about it. “Since we have a one-year-old I felt that I wanted proper accommodation, with both a microwave and dishwasher”, says Britta. “It looked great in the photos on the internet and it has everything you need. I thought maybe the house would have been a little bit bigger, but it is nice!” The fact that their hosts live relatively close by is no problem, on the contrary. “We don’t notice the hosts, but it is nice knowing that they are nearby should we have any questions. They are nice and we felt welcome as soon as we arrived”, says Britta. There is a big difference between staying in an ordinary cottage; here you are not isolated, but instead come in contact with the people living here and get to see how they Home sweet home What we may find commonplace, our guest might experience as wonderful, like the time when we cut the grass with a scythe in the field behind the house and piled the hay on drying racks.” live. You wouldn’t get that chance otherwise. For the Svensson family this is their second year as Stay on a Farm hosts. “The best thing about having guests on our farm is the personal meetings”, says Anna. “To make someone feel that ‘somebody did this for me’. To give them an experience to remember Sweden, Markaryd and Sånna Gård by when they return home. To ensure happy and comfortable guests Anders likes to keep things neat and tidy. “It has to look clean and proper, plus information is very important. If they are interested in fishing, they should be able to find information on places to fish. We have an organised activity every week and that is moving the sheep. We ask our guests if they would like to join us which is often appre- ciated. In addition the children often enjoy going for a ride on the tractor. What we may find commonplace, our guest might experience as wonderful, like the time when we cut the grass with a scythe in the field behind the house and piled the hay on drying racks. The food in Anders’ bucket has run out and the children are happy with today’s dose of patting the sheep and lamb. The sheep once again seek out the shade and we return to the family estate which dates back to the mid 1800s. Both the farmhouse and the washhouse are well shielded by the large ash trees, as old as the house itself. The Spiering family will continue going about their peaceful day doing nothing but simply enjoying life. Tomorrow, new adventures wait. Self-catering – look after yourself • Self-Catering means that the accommodation has a fully-equipped kitchen for the preparation of meals by the guests. • Guest must provide their own bed linen. • Guests clean the accommodation before vacating it. • More than 200 farms currently offer Self-Catering accommodation. All over the country! • Prices vary, as does the size and type accommodation. The ’Bo på Lantgård’ farms can offer everything from small cottages to larger detached wings. With Self-catering your accommodation becomes your very own special place and that is a luxurious feeling! You decide what to do about meals, and cook your own food. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Bring your own bed linen and towels, or hire from the host. Prior to departure you tidy up after yourselves. All cleaning equipment is available on site. Final cleaning services can in many cases be added at a cost, and on some farms it is already included in the price. Crofts and manor houses The type of accommodation varies from one farm to the next. No one farm is the same as the other. Sometimes it is a house on the farm, sometimes a secluded cottage. Perhaps it is an apartment in the main farmhouse or a converted barn with all modern conveniences. Big or small. High standard or basic simplicity. The choice is yours. Tips! It is a good idea to bring your own washing up liquid, dish towel and toilet paper when staying in Self-catering accommodation. stay on a farm 2012 | 9 G N I H S FI ME THE Winter fishing! At Vemhåns Fiskecamp & Ridcenter (fishing camp and riding centre) in Jämtland County fishing is available all the year round. Well wrapped up it is a wonderful experience to go fishing in winter. We asked host Bertil Wahlström a few questions: How do you go about fishing in winter? “You drill a hole with an ice drill and use a jigging rod with hook and sinker. You then place an angling-worm or maggot on the hook.” How do you ensure a really nice fishing day in winter? “Usually the best and nicest experience is had when you go winter fishing in spring as the sun begins to come out.” When do the fish bite best? “Fish have their own feeding times even in winter, so there is no telling exactly when during the day they will bite.” Why should I try winter fishing while being a guest at Stay on a Farm? “To sit on the ice on a small portable chair, whether you are enjoying one catch or many, catching a few floundering salmon trout or char for tonight’s dinner, is guaranteed to be a memory for life!” What is your best fishing memory? “The time I caught three beautiful one-kilo char in our small lake called Storvåndtjärn.” How do you best enjoy the catch of the day? “I like to brine the fish slightly, then I put it in a smoker to be smoked over juniper twigs, and you have a fabulous culinary experience.” Try your luck at fishing Are you an angler or perhaps just curious about fishing? When you stay on a Fishing theme farm your chances of catching a prize fish are greatly increased. The Fishing theme farms vary greatly. They could be fishing camps providing real challenges even for the enthusiast, or perhaps a farm located close to peaceful lake fishing with all the necessary equipment available to have good fishing luck. Around the country there are different fishing experiences waiting to be had all the year round; fly-fishing in streaming waters, jig-fishing on the ice and crayfishing in August. Common for all farms with the Fishing theme is that all hosts are available to provide information about which type of fishing activity is available in the region. Where fishing permits are required they can be purchased on the farm. Life jackets and boats are available as well as the possibility to hire fishing equipment. The host is knowledgeable about fishing rules and can tell you about the character of the fishing.

Head for the farms with the Motorcycle Theme and see more of Sweden – instead of having to drive in to the cities and deal with all the hassle. Here the nicest roads will lead you straight to your accommodation. On the farms with the Motorcycle Theme the hosts will help make your trip extra comfortable. As our guest you can park your motorcycle under cover just a few feet from your pillow, you have access to washing machine and there are possibilities to hang and dry your gear. Basic meals can be served by arrangement – all according to Stay on a Farm’s criteria as agreed with Swedish Motorcyclists Association (SMC). Simply put, the farms have most everything necessary to make motorcycle travel comfortable! The hosts are happy to recommend nice motorcycle roads nearby and suggest excursions in the region. Are you perhaps in the mood for a few days on Gotland, with a detour to the classic motor joint Kutens Bensin on Fårö? Or whistle along in Templar Arn’s footsteps through Västergötland County? Buying freshly boiled shrimp on the way back from the day’s trip is a treat. Not to mention experiencing a genuine midsummer in Dalarna or forest roads in Småland where the foliage is so thick it creates a leafy roof over your head as you drive along.

Sight set firmly on the target. Ingrid La Brave sets off ahead … and hits the mark! Arriving at Trollskogens Gästhus (guest house) and Lilla hästskolan (riding school) in Torna Hällestad in Skåne County during one of the annual Knight’s camps is like stepping into medieval times. You are greeted by both knights and ladies, many dressed in period clothes. Seeing the small whitewashed farm with thatched roofed, where both rose and lavender bushes thrive in the flower beds and hens of all sizes and colours stroll freely, you don’t need a vivid imagination to conjure up images of the “Cherry Tree Valley” from Astrid Lindgren’s tale of the Brothers Lionheart. The farm’s horses graze in the large rolling pastures next to the farm, and up the hill there is a small riding-track. Past the field, creek and farther into the grove is where this week’s knights has set up camp. Even though of course Trollskogens Gästhus offers comfortable beds, the sleeping arrangement of choice right now is large white sleeping tents. Today’s activities are well on their way. The riding-track has been transformed into an arena for tournaments where children and ponies are busy training for Friday’s show. The sound of swords clanking can be heard from the meadow where the adults are being trained by Dennis, the Squire of Knight Ravenheart. Ravenheart, alias Sandra Anderberg, is undergoing tournament training together with Lady Josefine, whose day job is working on the farm’s riding school. They are both very impressed by the progress both the children and the ponies have made since yesterday. “It seems like it has clicked for you now. What have you been up to during the night? Have you secretly practised”, asks Knight Ravenheart who is constantly on hand to give the children positive feedback and cheer them on as they’re riding. where the goal is to hit a shield with the lance. Ingrid La Brave (the brave) break into a gallop, lowers her lance, aims… and hits! The turn has come to Knight Wildhorse. The Shetland pony Ronja trots straight towards the Quintana … but veers off at the last minute. Shoot! It’s not that easy. “Ronja is a little afraid of the lance and the Quintana. She has to get used to them a bit more”, Knight Wildhorse explains. The children continue practising and get better and better results. Finally they have all hit the shield – many with enough force to On the schedule right now is the ”Quintana” 12 | stay on a farm 2012 send it spinning around the pole. Despite the loud bang, on level with the horse’s head, they seem to take no notice. In the end, Ronja doesn’t even mind. The practise is swapped for the ”rings”. “Now spear the ring with your lances. Ride ahead at your own pace, remember to stay focused”, Knight Ravenheart tells the children. Ingrid La Brave starts and sets off in a trot. She just misses the ring. “One advice is to not ride lightly. That makes it very hard to hit. Try sitting down or standing slightly in the stirrups.” Knight Ivar breaks into a fast gallop. He aims – and hits! Nice! There is a seemingly never-ending stream of different exercises and both the children and ponies seem to be enjoying themselves – and are excited about the upcoming presentation. Among the riders there is one on own his own horse; the others ride the riding school’s horses. Some of them use a nylon bridle without a bit. “It works well, especially in cases like now when the aim is just to get the horse to move forward and turn the way we want it to”, Josefine explains. “Children have a lot to think about with the lance in one hand and reins in the other. It is good if they don’t pull on the horse’s mouth if they need to regain their balance.” After the ride is completed the ponies are fed and released into the pasture, except for Ronja. She is harnessed to the small cart and the children and leaders set off on a ride. The surroundings are wonderful. There are no less than six nature reserves in the area and some of the farm’s own land is a Natura 2000 protected area and is included in the Prästaskogen Nature Reserve. Up on the field it is time for the next activity which is archery and the rubber wild boar is living dangerously. Someone manages to shoot the arrow into its bottom. “Yes! Dinner is taken care of today too , Squire Dennis exclaims. The wild boar dinner will have to wait though; first it’s time for lunch at the camp. Stone oven-baked bread with butter and smokecured loin of pork, sausage, chickpeas and nuts are on the menu. The plates are of wood and the drink is of course served in stoups. Guests at the Knight’s camp at Trollskogens Gästhus are both > > > > > > > > people with an interest in horses who are curious about the Middle Ages and those interested in the Middle Ages who are curious about horses. In addition to the tournament, fencing and archery, participants can also try handicrafts such as needle-binding and plant dyeing. Naturally the lances and the coats of arms are homemade and their colours chosen carefully. Two of the participants are mother and daughter Lotta and Elina Sleight (Knight Wildhorse) from Limhamn. They ride here at the riding school during the terms, though it is their first time participating in the Knight’s camp. Picking one thing that has been the most fun is hard. “It is so much fun both at the camp where we eat and do handicrafts, and to go riding and fencing”, says Elina. “I have been riding quite a bit before this, and the way they view horses here feels good. And being a part of Knight’s week is fantastic”, says Lotta. “You can do so many more things than you ever thought you could, like fencing with a sword, and shooting with a bow. I had never tried archery before, but it is so much fun and now I want to get one myself. I aim to do archery on horseback as I enjoy riding and I enjoyed this! Another great thing is that the children are expected to take responsibility and see to their own things, though of course we help each other if need be. It is so much fun doing this together with Elina and I don’t think I would have done this on my own on my holiday. At the same time we have a lot of separate activities as we are divided into two groups. She does great on her own and I don’t have to be the mother so much here.” In addition to the Knight’s weeks, riding school and recreational riding, Trollskogens Gästhus and Lilla hästskolan offer a number of equestrian activities and are always open to suggestions. How about Riders’ Yoga, Bird watching on horseback, or combining “just” staying at the farm and riding? “We put together courses that we would like to do ourselves and it’s good for the horses to do different things”, says Felicia Lundgren who has run Lilla hästskolan since 2008. “The focus is always on the horses feeling good. Our guests too of course, but not at the expense of the horses.” Guests stay in the newly renovated Trollskogens Gästhus, with stable, horses and pasture around the corner. Unless you choose to do like the knights and stay in a tent. Horse Theme 35 farms within Stay on a Farm have the Horse theme. Some of them arrange rides, others quick lessons for beginners or courses for the more advanced riders. Find more information on which horse activities the various farms offer in the farm adverts and on the farms’ own websites.

Dan Johansson at the Swedish Transport Administration likes to bring his colleagues to Mariebergs Wild Country Farm & Adventure Centre in Kalix when it is time for a conference. What is it about Marieberg that makes you want to arrange your conferences there? “The diversity – the possibility to do so many different things. Enjoyable relaxation with any group; technicians, administrators, guys, girls… Everyone enjoys it here. The farm’s location is breathtakingly scenic and you can sit on the veranda and enjoy the views of the River Kalix, check out the fleet of cars, go fishing and then round off the evening in the sauna.” Where ideas thrive It is the country air in your lungs that gives you that extra burst of energy that allows ideas to thrive during your meeting. Farms with the Conference theme offer the same service as regular conference hotels, but here you are met by a completely different atmosphere. Impressions from nature and the farm itself will trigger your inspiration, and often times you have the entire farm to yourselves. Naturally all technical equipment is available and the hosts will tailor your stay to your specific requirements in order for you to concentrate solely on your task for the day. Many farms arrange various activities which can be a welcome break in the day. They can be anything from pentathlons, guided tours of the farm, horse riding, acrylic painting or wine and cheese tasting.

Here even the conference rooms are peaceful! The charm Anders and his co-workers add cannot be found anywhere else. He is open to any kind of clowning about you could possibly want. He has arranged fermented Baltic herring parties when we’ve had American and French guests and he also puts together dinners where the food is prepared on a morika (large pan) over an open fire. It is impossible to compare being here to being at a conference in town…” Do you get any work done? “Yes, absolutely. We usually start at 8 am and finish by 3 pm, so there is definitely time to get everything done. We are there for the conference and to do effective work, and we tie it all together with different activities in the afternoons and evenings.” What are usually the reactions of the participants? “Many enjoy the relaxation here and want to return. Even if you don’t catch any fish, you at least get to enjoy a beautiful sunset over the river – and the sauna.” stay on a farm 2012 | 15 Hello there! We asked three Stay on a Farm hosts two questions: 1.What do you enjoy most about being a Stay on a Farm host? 2.What is your biggest challenge? Karl-Göran Göransson, Vegby Bolsgård 1. The contact with all the great people from different parts of the world; Japan, Israel, the USA and Europe, just to mention a few. 2. To always make sure we have happy guests/customers. I usually speak to our guests and ask them what their interests are and recommend excursions based on their answers. Families with children are wel come to come with me to pat the calves if they want, and they usually enjoy that! Stay on a Farm with class All farms within Stay on a Farm are both inspected and quality graded. This is done in order for you as a guest to easier find the accommodation you are looking for and know what services and standard you can expect when arriving at the farm. Perhaps your dream is to stay in a simple but warm and cosy croft or a country holiday in a magnificent manor house. Through the classification system you can easily find out more about the farms before deciding on which one to visit. Each farm is graded on a number of different areas and based on this are then awarded between one and five corn ears. One corn ear means ”approved” – indicating that the farm meets all the criteria for membership in Stay on a Farm. Five corn ears means ”First class”. The number of corn ears published in 16 | stay on a farm 2012 the farm’s advert is the average grade awarded. A full inspection report is shown under each individual farm on www.bopalantgard.se In addition to the quality classification itself, each farm undergoes an inspection prior to being able to operate under the Stay on a Farm name. Basic requirements to join the association are high. The farm has to run an active farming operation, the host must be close at hand to the guests during their visit and the accommodation naturally must be fresh, clean and tidy. Hanna Engström, Ekeskogs Gård 1.Seeing people of all ages enjoy the Swedish countryside! 2. Speedy bookings. There is not much time over for paper exercise when you are a farmer and run an equestrian operation. Gunnel and Jan Jeppson, Holmamåla Gård 1.The best part is meeting all the people: in summer it is mainly German families who come and stay for two weeks. The rest of the year it’s all the conference guests and family functions. 2. Every new group is a challenge, and making sure that our guests’ first impression is positive and that their experience here surpasses their expec tations. Another challenge is to offer new experiences each season. Our latest thing is an orangery. In the country with the grandchildren What do you do when there are so many grandchildren that you have outgrown your family cottage on the traditional “grandchildren’s days”? The answer is book in to a farm with oodles of space! For the third year in a row Torsten Kälvemark and his wife Berit Olsson gathered nine of their grandchildren (ages 4-11) for a few days of fun together. The location this time was Lasätter farm outside of Nyköping. “As we live in different parts of the country; Skanör, Södertälje and Kista, we enjoy getting the children together on more occasions than simply at Christmas”, Torsten tells us. “Plus they all live in city environments, so breathing a bit of country air every now and then is good for them, and Lasätter is the perfect spot for our needs. It is a converted barn, so the rooms are big and space is generous. The kitchen is well equipped and the large dorm room with bedstead recesses was perfect! The children could have their own secluded nook, without having to go to sleep in separate rooms when it came time for bed.” Lasätter specialises in larger groups whether they are families, relatives, a group of friends, work kick-offs or conferences. There are also numerous possibilities to book activities, courses and package holidays. For example you can climb the climbing-wall, enjoy a barbecue in a Sami tent, book golf, yoga or painting packages, or other fun experiences for the whole family. And so much more. For Torsten & Co the days were filled with lots of fun and games. They painted, played games, built with Lego, visited the horses and played with Milou – the farm dog who quickly became a favourite with the children. They built their own hurdles by the riding-track and their imagination transformed the Sami tent into an Indian tepee where on the first evening they roasted marshmallows. One day when it was raining cats and dogs the whole group went to an indoor playland in Nyköping and when the sun came back out they tried all the fun hurdles, swings, tightropes and all the other fun things available at Palstorps Hage not far from Lasätter. “Some people think it is hard to bring nine grandchildren along like this, but it wasn’t at all. They are quite imaginative and occupy themselves enough so we don’t have to activate them. The surroundings are so stimulating with the horses and everything else.” There is no mistaking the fact that the grandchildren are enjoying themselves. “Everybody was very happy and are already looking forward to the next “grandchildren’s days” and ask us what we are going to do then!” We e k e n d pa ck a g e End the week on a farm. Ma ny farms around the country offer weekend activities at special rates. Look under the headin g ”Weekend packages” on our website.

Things to consider before booking All houses, rooms and apart-ments connected to Stay on a Farm are unique and live up to the organisation’s high minimum requirement standards. The classings will help you to see which standard you will be getting. The standard in a holiday home is fre-quently different from that of your own home. Furnishing may include modern as well as older furniture. Dinner sets and cutlery may not always match. Wardrobe space and storage facilities may be limited. The bedrooms are often small and do not always have doors for privacy. Water heaters may be smaller than in a permanent residence, which may mean that, for example, showers can-not be used by several persons in succession. It is wise to ask about the details of the living space at the time of booking. The countryside: You must expect flies, wasps and other insects in and around holiday homes. Nor can the landlord be held responsible for any cobwebs indoors or ants on the property. In the event of major insect infestations, the landlord should be contacted immediately so that the fault can be rectified. The landlord cannot be held responsible for any activities outside the boundaries of the property, including road works etc. Errors and omissions excepted.
