Ingebo hagar - the small village just outside Vimmerby

Just in the south of Vimmerby in Småland lies the old village  of Ingebo. Here people and animals have lived for hundreds of years. Through their efforts to survive and support themselves, a landscape has been formed. Fields have been cleared out of the rocky soil, and the cultivation rocks and stone walls have been created when stone is laid to stone by dense hands. Through woods and fields, wagon wheels, feet and cloves have cleared paths and driveways. In many ways, we see today the traces of the ancestors and their endeavors.

Today, the families Lindelöf and Pommerenke are operating through the economic association based on KRAV, FSC and PEFC certified land and forestry. Another important starting point for all activities in the village of Ingebo is to "operate without spending". By this we mean that through a thorough cycle of thought, we constantly try to balance the use or consumption of what is being built or planted. The aim is to "use without spending" through this expression "develop the whole village, and all it has to provide, to form a basis for diversity of activities, income opportunities and people. Of course, we try to save energy and other resources in a smart way.

In 2014-2015, thoughts about the circuit work were compiled in a booklet called; We have started our trip from a farm village to a  organic village. In the booklet you can read more about the farm, the cultivation, the forest and the cooperation on the farm. You can also read about our ponds as well as about the soles. It's only  available in Swedish.
