Prima Gård

17th-Century Limestone Legacy

Nestled in the fertile lands near Fårösund, Prima Gård stands as a trelängad kalkstensgård dating back to the 1600s. Its robust limestone walls and traditional layout provide a sheltered microclimate, fostering a vibrant garden where figs, grapes, herbs, roses, and lavender thrive. This historic structure has been lovingly restored, blending rustic authenticity with contemporary ecological ethos. The old lamb house now houses an artisan workshop and shop, while the threshing barn's raw stone interior serves as an intimate dining space.

Ecological bounty from Gotland's Soil

The farm emphasizes sustainability through its use of organic, local ingredients sourced predominantly from Gotland. Everything from breads baked in stone ovens to pestos and marmalades highlights seasonal produce like ramsons, rhubarb, and blueberries. Deli platters showcase smoked Gotland lamb, ramsons salami, pickled rhubarb, and artisanal cheeses, transforming simple farm fare into refined plates. House specialties include raw food options and full lunches that celebrate the island's verdant landscape and short supply chains.

Garden Oasis and Seasonal Delights

Wander the protected garden zones offering sun-dappled spots and shaded retreats, enveloped by climbing roses and blue echium. In summer, guests savor outdoor meals amid blooming fikonträd, while the greenhouse built from salvaged windows provides shelter during cooler months. The atmosphere evokes a serene escape, where the scent of fresh herbs mingles with baking aromas. Occasional summer evenings feature exclusive five-course finmiddag menus, elevating Gotlandic raw materials into dreamlike culinary artistry.

These offerings make the site a haven for those seeking authentic Gotlandic souvenirs born from the land itself.
