Many children grow up with ham sandwiches and bacon without really knowing what it is they are eating. Those families who wish can visit the farm and meet the sow and the cults when they are young. If the children are allowed to participate, it will be natural for them and maybe they will eat with more devotion and respect for the food. On several occasions throughout the year we get cults. They are allowed to walk with their sow mother until they are at least three months, sometimes up to five months. Depending on their age, we can cuddle with them. They are a bit squeaky and like to bite when they are small if we hold them up but if they are allowed to stay on the hill and come out on their own then it will be fine. You get to feed pigs, big and small, we tell you how we care for them and what their pig life looks like and the uniqueness of our farm.
**What the experience is like right now on the farm: **
We will walk around different fences where pigs of different sizes live and we will tell you in detail about our animal husbandry, their breed and our experiences of keeping pigs out all year round. There will be opportunities to pet and feed them but we will be careful because the sow is very protective of its little ones. If we have pigs that do not live with their mothers because they were weak as little ones, we can go in with them. They are a bit more tame and these can be held and patted. In the spring of 2024, we have two very tame “bottle pigs” that you can meet and pet and take pictures with.
We even have our breeding boars who are usually in the mood to be scratched.
First we meet up in the courtyard at the stables next to the large stone building. It is good if you have shoes for the weather. If it's plus degrees and rained a lot then it's very muddy with us. Feel free to wear shoes or boots.
Difficulty level:No prior knowledge and is fun for young and old
Length:Each experience with the respective animal species takes about 45min-1 hour
EXTRA IMPORTANT! **Due to the African swine fever that broke out in the autumn of 2023 in Fagersta, it is extremely important that you wear clean clothes and shoes that have not visited the forest or visited another farm during the experience with us and no stay abroad for the last 48 hours. **
We would also like to welcome you to the farm shop for those who are interested in our meat, eggs and dairy offerings or a moment by the campfire for a coffee or a lunch.
