In the heart of the deep Småland forest lies the farm Sjöborgen, a home where history lives on and whispers through the wind. Here, among the ancient oaks and moss-covered stones, three generations of the same family have tended to the land and the spirit of this mysterious place. Sjöborgen, which holds secrets from a bygone era – tales of hard labor, poison murders, and aristocratic life from the 1400s – is more than just a farm. It is a living saga, where every corner tells a story, and each step on the ground feels like a spell.
Malin and Peter, who now manage the farm, have chosen a path beyond the modern rat race. In 2012, they broke free from their careers to embrace a simpler, more sustainable life as homesteaders. And perhaps it is the very essence of the farm – the invisible but ever-present force that has watched over the homestead for hundreds of years – that has guided them to where they are today. At Sjöborgen, they live off what the land provides, what the forest and lakes offer, and the products they grow, forage, and raise themselves.
Legend has it that they still live a life outside the flow of time, in a "Blue Zone" where time and seasons do not hold the same significance as in the world outside. They reside deep in the forest, where they run their beverage company, creating taste experiences that carry the soul of Sjöborgen, living off what they produce themselves. Myth or reality? Perhaps you’ll find the answer if you let the series *The Art of Living* on Viaplay enchant you into the world of Sjöborgen.
Their home is a private place, but it is said that they are happy to open their hearts and their farm to travelers with motorhomes and caravans, offering a simple parking spot. And if you’re eager to taste Sjöborgen's beverages, you are warmly invited to step into the flavorful world of their non alcoholic brewery.
We live a life without working hours, we eat what we grew, picked and raised. Live a life where recycling arranges our welfare. In the brewery and the kitchen we refine what the garden, forest and lake provide, In the workshop we repair, manufacture and construct much of what is needed. Our passion for what we do is enriched when you request and purchase what Sjoborgen makes and offers in our brewery shop on the farm.
