Agriculture
Our pledge is to leave Sibbjäns in better shape than we found it. We restore the meadow, strengthen biodiversity, and give the soil new life so that nature and wildlife can thrive for generations to come.
The farm is the foundation
Set on a 50-hectare estate of meadows, wetlands and woodland, Sibbjäns is not a hotel that has a farm – it is a farm. Most is run with regenerative principles: enriching the soil, restoring biodiversity, and letting the rhythms of the land lead the way.
This is our soil!
Good food starts with thriving soil! We work with hard to nurture healthy soil – the foundation of everything. It not only gives us flavorful and nutritious food, but also supports biodiversity, improves water regulation, and captures carbon – a vital part of the climate transition.
Small farming methods
We're a small farm with a variety of crops and animals, using a mix of old and new farming techniques to enrich our soil. Pigs, sheep and hens naturally help create the ideal conditions for our vegetables and berries.
Companion planting
In our greenhouse, we use companion planting, growing different crops together that support each other.
The basil's aroma and blossoms attract pollinators, creating a jungle-like, living microclimate.
The beans fix nitrogen, which enriches the soil.
The pumpkin spreads its leaves, providing shade and protection for the other plants.
Together, they form a small, self-sufficient ecosystem.
Sharing is caring!
By focusing on healthy soil and biodiversity, we can offer the best ingredients in our restaurant and hotel and share the flavors of the land with our guests.
At Sibbjäns, our animals are an integral part of the ecosystem. With access to pasture, humane treatment, and space, they contribute to improved soil health and biodiversity.
Our diverse landscape, with its meadows, waterways, woodlands and wetlands, provides a rich tapestry of habitats for plants and animals to thrive.
We're not perfect...
... but we promise to keep striving to do good-while inspiring our guests to discover the joy of home gardening, home-grown produce, and a deeper respect for the natural cycles that sustain us all.
