We like to go to the beautiful Hofsnäs Herrgård in the Torpa-näset nature reserve and eat food with locally produced in focus. The coffee is superb! There is also a playground, a small market hall with goodies (try the asparagus chips!), a good swimming area and lots of beautiful views.

Björnhyltans Trädgård focuses on organic "edible farming". But all the vegetables coexist with flowers, herbs and berries. In the Living Room you will find Mediterranean plants such as vines, figs and olive trees. The room is well worth a visit, as is Carlsson's walk around the farm's property. https://www.bjornhyltans.se/
