the farm: nature Conservation & biodiversity

 Nature conservation is a matter of course for Urnatur. We want our little farm Sjögetorp to be a living ecological farm, with animals grazing the natural old pastures. We keep the old breeds “pälsfår”, a kind of sheep with the most beautiful skins and tasty meat, and the tiny dexter cows.

Also we keep some friendly hens for the eggs. They are a mixture of old breeds and lay eggs in all colours.

Of course we want to protect and preserve the biodiversity of this place. To favour the endangered species that belong to our meadows, we are making hay with the scythe in late July so the seeds can sow in again.
We like to use lokal traditional materials and techniques. Therefore Håkan has built nearly 5 km of beautiful traditional gärdesgård fences that border our pastures and fields. They are made of spruce, spruce twigs and juniper.
