Who we are
About the farm
We farm in Västerhejde on Gotland, 7 km south of Visby; the whole farm has been KRAV-certified organic since 2001. On 19 hectares of sandy soil we grow asparagus, potatoes, strawberries, emmer wheat and a wide range of vegetables, with tomatoes and melons in three polytunnels; we also have an orchard, a small vineyard, a Christmas tree plantation, about 50 hens, beehives and a snail farm. We sell our produce in our farm shop, open all year (Wednesday to Friday 10–18, weekends 10–16), and in our farm restaurant we cook lunch and dinner from our own crops.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
