Local food & farm shops

Five stops in northern Ronneby

Game cooked in a woodshed. Ceramics beside root vegetables. Blueberries hand-picked from 3,000 bushes. Things are happening along the roads north of Ronneby. You just need to stop.

North of Ronneby, the roads narrow and the producers get more interesting. A wild game café that has been feeding people since 1996. A blueberry farm with bushes taller than you expect. A stone-oven bakery in a village so small it barely appears on maps. These are not destinations you stumble across. They are the ones you come back for.

Seasonal opening applies to all five stops. Check opening times before you travel s-everal of these places are closed outside their season, and a wasted drive is avoidable.

01. Vildmarkscaféet

Korpabacken 6, 372 93 Belganet

In 1996, Eva Carlsson and Stig Eriksson converted a woodshed and a chicken coop on their forest smallholding outside Belganet into a small café. The idea was straightforward: bring people from the city and sit them down in the forest. Almost thirty years later, the café is still there - and still built around that same impulse.

The kitchen serves home-cooked lunch and dinner using wild game from local suppliers. The menu changes with the season: venison mince patties, kroppkakor (the traditional Blekinge potato dumplings stuffed with salt pork), and whatever is good right now. In 2013, Eva Carlsson won the award for Blekinge's finest kroppkakor. Vegetarian options are on the menu. Vildmarksleden, the long-distance wilderness trail, passes the door.

Outside seating on an old clover meadow. Fully accessible. Groups of 8 or more book by phone. Coach groups welcome, up to 70 people.

Almost thirty years in a converted woodshed and chicken coop. Some ideas turn out to be exactly right from the start. Vildmarkscaféet, Belganet - open since 1996

02. Keramik & Grönt

Hallabro area, Ronneby municipality

Two producers, one address. Fällgrens grönsaker grows root vegetables and seasonal produce - locally grown, sold directly. Next door (or in the same building, depending on the day), IKA Keramik makes hand-thrown, kiln-glazed porcelain. Both are part of Blekinge's farm shop trail and represent the kind of local food craft that takes patience to find and is worth it when you do.

You buy directly from the people who grew it or made it. That is the point of stopping here.

03. Westerdahlsgårdens blåbärsodling

Kolshult 312, 370 17 Eringsboda

Arne Pettersson and Karin Mathisson grow around 3,000 bushes of large-fruited blueberries - the cultivated variety, sometimes called American blueberries — on open ground at their farm in Kolshult, a few kilometres outside Eringsboda. The berries are hand-picked throughout the harvest season.

The farm shop sells blueberries by the punnet (200 g) and by the bucket (1.6 and 3 litres), honey, blueberry plants to take home, and pressed blueberries in bag-in-box format. Pre-orders by phone are possible ahead of the season. The farm opens in mid-July and closes around mid-September - exact dates vary with the weather. Confirmed opening dates are posted on Facebook.

Eringsboda, Ronneby municipality
Eringsboda has around 300 residents and sits 30 kilometres north of Ronneby town, 20 kilometres south of Tingsryd. Eringsboda Corner is its meeting place - a café and local shop under one roof, the kind of place that keeps a small community going and gives passing visitors somewhere to stop, sit down and buy something worth eating.

05. Stenugnsbageriet i Gökadal

Gökadal, Ronneby municipality — 5 km north-east of Hallabro

Gökadal is a small village in northern Ronneby municipality. The bakery here uses a wood-fired stone oven - a method that produces bread with a thicker crust and a longer shelf life than bread from a conventional oven. It takes longer. It tastes different. Most people who find it come back.

The bakery supplies bread to the Äggaboden autumn market, where they also bake and sell directly from the brewhouse. Their bread turns up at other locations in the municipality during the season - ask locally or follow their updates for current stockists.
