About Us
A Place That Brings Us All Alive
Our intention for Allsta Gård is that it becomes a place that supports aliveness in all of its shapes and forms. Whether for individual people, groups, the local community, or the ecosystem itself, we hope that the farm provides a space for connection, inspiration, healing and growth for the entangled web of beings that interact with us and the farm.
A Family Affair
We moved to Allsta Gård in December 2024. Prior to that we spent more than a year of searching around Sweden for a small farm where we could integrate our life and work. When we finally stumbled across Allsta Gård, we found everything we were looking for and more. You can read more about our journey here (in English) and here (in the Swedish newspaperTidningen Ångermanland).
Alex is Swedish-American and has lived in the US, UK, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany. As a coach and therapist he is dedicated to helping people unfold more of who they are. He is the co-founder of Yellow and the author of the book On Relationality.
Jana is originally from Germany. At Allsta Gård the threads of her life’s adventures come together: cooking in a food truck, working on farms, studying art, working as a teacher, training in yoga and Thai Yoga Massage, experimenting in ceramics, and searching for the good life.

A Rich History
As far back as records go, Allsta Gård was owned by the Westman family. They owned a large piece of the adjacent forest and used the farm as a place to process timber. In 1994 the property (without the forest) was sold to Hans Nolén and Inger Holmberg, a couple skilled in carpentry, organic gardening and farming. Hans and Inger transformed Allsta Gård into a vibrant farm, with sheep, pigs, lamas and chickens as well as abundant vegetables and berries. In 2014 they completed the five-year construction of the Eco House, a project carried out by themselves with help from friends. This became the new heart of the farm and provided an opportunity to run a B&B, café, restaurant and meeting venue for local gatherings.
Upplevelser för att berika sinnet, kroppen, och själen
Yogamassage
Yogamassage är en mjuk individuell kroppsbehandling. Det kallas ofta för "yoga för lata människor" eller "den heliga dans". Du bär bekväma kläder och ligger på en stor matta, och du guidas in i avslappnande och stretchande positioner. Läs mer om Jana och hennes behandlingar här.
Mat med näring och kärlek
Vi har ett flertal odlingsbäddar, och vi använder så mycket som kan från gården i maten vi erbjuder. Om inte från gården så är ingredienserna ekologiska och/eller lokala i största möjliga utsträckning. I frukosten ingår bl a hembakat surdegsbröd och ägg från våra grönsbeteshönor.
Coaching, workshops & familjekonstellationer
Vi erbjuder möjligheter till personlig utveckling genom coaching- och terapisessioner, inspirerande workshops och familjekonstellationer. Läs mer om Alex och hans arbete här.
Grönbeteshöns
Vi har trettiotal höns som värper ägg samt bidrar med gödsel till åkrar och odlingar. Vi försöker vara så regenerativa som möjligt, vilket innebär att vi flyttar hönsen till nya hagar med några dagars mellanrum. Detta ger dem tillgång till färskt gräs samtidigt som de gödslar jämt. Hälsa gärna på våra befjädrade vänner när du har möjlighet.
Yoga och meditation
Vi erbjuder morgonyoga och/eller meditationspass om det finns tillräckligt intresse från gäster (minst fyra personer). Vi har yogamattor tillgängliga om du vill utöva yoga på verandan på egen hand.
Gårdshjälp
Det finns mycket att göra på gården, och vi uppskattar alltid en hjälpande hand. Gäster säger ofta att höjdpunkten av vistelsen var att hjälpa till i trädgården eller stapla ved inför vintern. Om du vill tillbringa lite tid på att komma ur dina tankar och in i kroppen, säg bara till så hittar vi en meningsfull uppgift för dig.
Cykeluthyrning
Vi har fyra cyklar med hjälmar som man kan hyra. Det finns flera sköna leder i närheten och gott om platser för bad och picknick. Vi kan ordna matsäckar på begäran.
Konferenser, fester, och möten
Vi tycker att det är extra roligt att vara värd för grupper som vill tillbringa tid tillsammans i naturen med ekologisk mat och inspirerande innehåll.
Vad våra gäster har sagt om Allsta Gård
Extremely cozy and peaceful atmosphere. Alex and Jana were amazing hosts, and were helpful, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. The included breakfast was delicious and we were also offered a three course dinner in the evening by Jana, who is an outstanding cook! Both meals blew us away and were prepared with fresh ingredients from their garden. The bed was very comfortable and all facilities fresh and clean. The whole place was clearly designed with a lot of thought, care, and style. We especially recommend this place to those looking to visit the nearby High Coast Distillery, which was what brought us to the area. We feel like we lucked out finding such a gem as Allsta Gård, and couldn’t have asked for a better stay!
Fantastic coffee and a crackling fire in an incredibly beautiful modern house built with post and beam construction and clay. I bought some rustic sourdough bread to take home and will return. Child-friendly.
Comfortable B&B with a lot of nature (we spotted twelve moose during the 24 hours we were there). The hosts are prepared to walk the extra mile for their guests. I don’t hesitate to recommend this to people who are visiting the area and need a place to stay.
Allsta Gård is a real gem in a fabulously beautiful landscape. The owners gave an incredibly nice welcome and we felt really welcome. We got to taste the world's best buns and sourdough bread - absolutely unbeatable! We also bought eggs, celery, cabbage, garlic and aronia berries. Everything tasted fantastic, fresh and something completely out of the ordinary. Allsta Gård is a place we highly recommend and will definitely return to.
We were 4 adults staying for 3 nights. We really enjoyed this peaceful an beautiful place! The breakfast was outstanding with eggs, salad and berries from the garden... We felt very welcome and taken cared of! Thank you!
