Invest in a barn roof
Joining a farm is interesting. Just when you are planning exciting development investments of various kinds for the next season, such as greenhouses, new energy systems, garden design, etc., the reality is just brutal. A large barn simply holds ...
This year's Christmas market 2015 is already over
This year's Christmas market with shop, exhibitors and organic café is over. As usual, we looked forward to receiving all guests, who happily find their way here despite the fact that we are on a whim and are open relatively rarely. Being open is preceded by a lot of planning ...
The TV series Allt för Sverige 2013 at Herresta Lada
Ten wonderful Americans stayed with us for two days during the TV recording of the first episode of Allt för Sverige in the summer of 2013. Directly from Arlanda, they arrived at Herresta Lada without having met before. It was two intense days where we served, in addition to the colorful ...
golden Egg
Rarely has an egg been so long-awaited :-). The hens we bought in late summer have saved a lot of gunpowder for a long time, we have waited and searched and waited and searched - but not an egg as far as the eye can reach (Of course you do not know if they have a secret egg laying place that yet ...
The market value of a rooster
Our nice rooster Ernst, it has turned out, has a number of flaws that make us forced to make the decision to end his life for him. It is mainly about weak legs and eye inflammation. He simply does not have the opportunity to take on his role in the hen house as intended. When you...
Time for a new flower meadow at Herresta
In our subconscious, many of us have a penchant for flowering meadows and in advertising, these images are often kept alive for us by standing for a good environment and security. Nowadays, however, it is unusual to see a variety of meadow flowers in the same place. The reason is...
Throwing day
Now it's time for tossing and filling the honey jars with this year's harvest. Fun to see the result of this year's collaboration with the neighbor (with whom we share the bees). The harvest was clearly worse than last year but a little better than we dared hope; maybe 60-70 % of last ...
Loaded with elves already now
As the owner of a small shop, it is heavenly inspiring to be able to stroll around the Formex fair and take part in the huge sea of beautiful furnishings. Twice a year, our trip goes to Älvsjömässan to fill up with nice things for the opening weekends in our store. And...

After an investigation in the municipality regarding organic assortment and raw materials in shops, cafes, restaurants and conference facilities, it turned out that Herresta Lada's organic café rowed home the gold! The chairman of the municipal board, Lars Bryntesson, handed out the only ...
Wedding gilded the barn this weekend
Think how wonderful it is with party, joy, love and hope! Or - in other words: Wedding. We have the pleasure of regularly experiencing these feelings that spread when wedding guests rent in and, as it were, occupy our nice barn. It is as love itself spreads its ...

Open conversations about future issues
Yesterday we had a visit from two exciting politicians from Knivsta, both deeply involved in the sustainable society of the future. Extra fun that they represent C and M, which for me was more unusual (when it comes to sustainability issues). We found that there are so many ...
