On Hemsön our pigs live outdoors from June to October. They root, graze, run, bathe in mud and get to live a real pig's life. During the summer we open up for small booked visits where you can meet the pigs, join the feeding and hear the story of why we chose to give them the best possible life.
What's included
- Meet our free-range pigs
- Join in when they are fed
- Learn how pigs live when they can be outdoors
- Ask questions about the animals, the farm and life on Hemsön
- Option of coffee, juice and a simple fika
- Photo opportunity at a safe distance
- A lovely outing for children and adults
Visits take place in small groups and always on the pigs' terms.
