There are two reasons why Ellinor Lod wants to become self-sufficient. She wants to manage herself, and she does it for environmental reasons. She describes herself as a natural person.

On the farm, which is seven hectares, she grows potatoes, vegetables and spices.

- I think that's how we should live. Let's go back to how it used to be in the past, ”she says.

Then she should become self-sufficient

She works half-time as a substitute at a group residence, and within daily activities. In the long run, Ellinor Lod wants to be able to live fully on what the farm can provide.

She has plans to start raising pigs and start meat production. She is also considering starting a dog day, holding cultivation courses, or letting patients from psychiatry visit the farm, as she is a trained nurse and caretaker.

Should take over forest

Soon Ellinor Lod will also take over her father's forest, which is about ten minutes by car from the farm.

She is also in the process of renovating the dwelling house. And even though she has a great responsibility herself, she also gets help from relatives and friends.

- I have my relatives around here in the village. I get a lot of help from them immensely.
