Musta dina äpplen till härlig dryck

Here on our farm in the heart of Småland, just a stone's throw from Vimmerby, we grow with both heart and hands. We believe that the real taste of food comes from the soil where it grows, which means that we grow both the vegetables – and the soil itself. Our garden is a place for anyone who wants to understand more about where food comes from and why it is so important to take care of the soil that provides us with everything.

Cultivation – A Magical Process

Growing by hand is one of the most satisfying and at the same time challenging things you can do. Every plant that is sown, every leaf that is watered, is a small step in a long chain of care and patience. It's like watching seeds come to life – from the small seed to a fully grown vegetable that we can harvest and enjoy.

For me, it's not just about growing food – it's about growing the soil. Supporting micro-life, creating more fertile soil, having a cyclical mindset, and seeing weeds as a resource. I grow without pesticides and artificial fertilizers, striving to do it in a way that benefits both nature and us humans. By working with nature's rhythms and allowing the soil time to recover, we create sustainable cultivation that gives us beautiful and flavorful vegetables all year round.

No, it’s not self-picking. I harvest continuously whenever we’re open, and you’re more than welcome to join me as I harvest if you’d like!

I update my social media (Facebook and Instagram @korkakvarn) almost daily with what’s ready for harvest at the moment and when new handmade products are available in the shop. I make caramel, marmalade, chutney, and more every week to ensure everything is freshly made and delicious.

All information about opening hours is regularly shared on social media (Facebook and Instagram @korkakvarn). Typically, the season begins with plant sales in early May and continues into June. We then close during the latter part of June and reopen for the harvest season in the first days of July. The season lasts through September and may even extend into October, depending on the weather.

Starting this year (2024), we’ll also be open in spring for plant sales, and in December for anyone who wants to shop for handmade goods and unique kaftans as Christmas gifts (or for themselves!).

Currently, I don’t send products; they’re only available for purchase in the farm shop and at a few markets I attend in late summer.
