Evenstorps gård

Farmstead and produce

Evenstorps gård is a working family farm focused on organic fruit and beef production. The site is best known for raspberries grown in protective tunnels and rhubarb on open ground; those fruits are processed into jams, cordials and frozen packs sold in the on‑farm shop. The farm also raises Hereford cattle for certified ecological beef and offers frozen portions and seasonal meat boxes direct from its processing kitchen. Produce availability follows the agricultural year, so what’s on the shelf changes with season and harvest.

Café, flavours and homemade goods

The café is a home‑baked, rustic counter: waffles with the farm’s own raspberry jam, rabarber (rhubarb) pie and other cakes form the core menu, alongside simple savory options such as open sandwiches and light meals. Many items use the farm’s fruit or locally produced ingredients, and there are a number of gluten‑free, egg‑free and dairy‑free alternatives. In winter the menu is reduced but key favourites like waffles and jams remain accessible when the café is open.

Shop and small‑scale production

The gårdsbutik is a compact, well stocked farm shop offering jars of jam and chutney, bottles of cordial and vinegar, frozen raspberries, farm‑aged beef and a rotating selection of regional products such as honey, flour, cheeses and small artisan goods. The farm has invested in a production kitchen to prepare preserves and packaging, and customers can buy ready meat boxes or frozen cuts for home cooking. Payment options include card and mobile payment systems common in Sweden.

Animals, setting and nearby nature

Evenstorps sits at the foot of Kroppefjäll with the Sundals Ryrs plain spreading out nearby; the setting is an open, pastoral landscape typical of Dalsland. Children and families often enjoy watching small farm animals kept at the site — a handful of miniature and pet animals are present seasonally — and the farmland borders walking and nature areas. A historic rock carving lies within short distance of the farm, adding an archaeological curiosity to the rural landscape.

Practical visiting character

The farm has a relaxed, rural rhythm: opening hours tend to be concentrated in daytime, and the shop and café operate consistent but seasonal schedules. The experience is unhurried — browsing jars in the shop, sampling waffles on the terrace in summer, or collecting a preordered meat box are typical activities. The atmosphere is accessible and family‑friendly rather than formal, with sheltered seating options in summer and indoor space for colder months.

Local connections and stewardship

Evenstorps works with local producers and is part of the regional food and tourism network that emphasises local sourcing and ecological practice. The farm’s production and retail focus reflect small‑scale stewardship: certified organic beef production, on‑site processing of fruit into preserves, and a seasonal retail offer that supports farm income while giving visitors a direct connection to where their food began.
