Product description

Farmors Café is located in Gamlas Lillstuga on the island Högsåra, in an old pilot's cottage from the late 18th, early 19th century. It´s cosy athmosphere has got something for everyone. You must not miss a visit.

The cafeteria has got it´s name after Grandmother Erika that lived alone in the cottage for fifteen years after the death of her husband Janne in 1935. So the small, red cottage with white window frames became known as 'Grandmother's house' (farmor = grandmother). The house has evolved and grown with its family, but the old log walls are still the same and stand to tell future generations of the good old times and the happiness that has been felt within them.
