Öråkers Gård
A living family farm since 1792
Our vision for the farm and for it’s hub, Ladan is to create a place where everyday activities increase the wellbeing of people, nature and animals.
THE FARM
Öråkers Gård has been run by the same family for seven generations (and counting). We invest in creating a living, fully functioning environment with arable agriculture, livestock, the Barn with café and shops, all contained within a beautifully maintained landscape where the very best of this ancestral property is open for all to enjoy.
Öråker is a place where people come to meet and to get in touch with nature and themselves. Together, we take care of the various animals, the soil and vegetation. Our ambition is to help restore the micro-life in the soil by re-using the organic resources we have on the farm from animals and greens. We respect nature and we strongly believe that by honoring the natural processes, nature will repay us.
The farm is located by Lake Mälaren outside Kungsängen, about 30 minutes’ drive north of Stockholm. During the weekends, Ladan is open with a café, shops and farm life. You are warmly invited to visit and enjoy what we have to offer, young and old!
LADAN
In Ladan (‘the barn’ in Swedish)there is a café, interior design shop and clothing shop.We plan art exhibitions, markets and other events throughout the year. Open to visitorsSat-Sun 11-16:00. During the summer, the opening hours are extended.
Since 2008, we have offered visitors a truly tasteful experience of our farm environment and promote interest in biodiversity, locally produced food, sustainability, and arts and crafts.Our aim is to create a meeting place with a focus on well-being for people, animals and nature.
GROW TOGETHER
In 2019, we started the Odla Ihop project. ‘Odla Ihop’ means ‘Growing Together’ and is a double entendre with reference not just to sustainable horticulture, but also to bringing people together to work the land and nurture each other within the realms of biodiversity.
Expanding sustainable vegetable cultivation, creating flower meadows for insects and pollination, and fermenting horse manure and other organic material with the Bokashi technique.
We want to bring people together, using ecological friendly techniques to create regenerative cultivation of vegetables, herbs and fruit. We want to inspire other farms and municipalities in Sweden to collaborate with people locally to grow together, sustainably for both the environment and the economy, says Ebba Horn at Öråkers Gård.
We use permaculture techniques, and the vision is that Odla Ihop Öråker will become a place for knowledge sharing through courses, workshops and collaborations.

HORSES
At Öråker, the Icelandic horses thrive in their herds and are outside as much as possible. There are 16 horse boxes in the stables and the horses have plenty of room to roam the pastures, sheltering under cover when the weather demands it. The farm can accommodate a total of 25 horses.
The horse business is run by Sara Kilsgård, who breeds, trains and rents boxes for Icelandic horses. For questions contact Sara sara.kilsgård@telia.com
SPACE TO RENT
We have vacant premises in Ladan.
Öråkers Ladugård is a modern and cozy meeting place with a cafe, conference room and premises over two levels. Here you can work in a rural environment and at the same time be part of a network that breathes sustainability. The barn is surrounded by crop fields and pastures. There are common areas to rent for conferences, lectures and customer meetings.
There are office spaces on the upper level and warehouses and retail spaces on the lower level.
CONFERENCE
We offer day conferences in the farm’s old barn (Ladan), now converted into a modern meeting place. Here you can conference in the farm’s café, have lunch and coffee in the interior design shop or outside with a view of the organic farms and our farm animals. In and around Ladan there are several social areas with space for separate meetings and group work. Why not have a meeting in the middle of plantations with the ducks as your closest neighbours.
Suitable for groups of up to 40 people.
