In
the basement of the farmhouse is an old stone oven for baking and smoking, and
of course a real Finish SAUNA heated with wood.
From the early days cows,
geese, chicken, pigs etc. domestic animals, today the focus is on horses ,
recreational outdoor activities and letting a house for visitors.
The
farm is called 'Liagärde'- meaning elevated fields surrounded by stone
hedges- this describes also the place very well. Liagärde is originateing
from the late 1600th century. The farm covers an area of 20 hectars (200.000m2)
consisting of farmed land, fields and forest. During the past decade a bigger
renovation and renewal has taken place.

In the garden the
fruit trees - apple, peer and plums (also a very rare mulberry tree!)
give rich harvests.
At these latitudes a very rare vine gives an exiting difference to the
balcony of the house.
