Öja Farm is located near Lake Hjälmaren between Eskilstuna and Katrineholm. The farm is run by us, Ebba and Gustaf, together with our border collie Paddy. We have about 30 water buffaloes, 160 sheep, and around 300 lambs are born in spring. The farm also has guinea fowls, turkeys, quails, and geese.
Our animals graze outside in the pastures throughout spring, summer, and autumn. There is also a pond that the buffaloes love to cool off in on a hot summer day. If they’re in a different pasture, they dig their own mud bath instead.
We sell ÖjaBuffelmozzarella, that is Swedish buffalo mozzarella, and buffalo yogurt, locally produced meat from Öja lamb and ÖjaBuffel, as well as lambskins. The buffalo mozzarella is made in our new farm dairy. We have learned the craft on several visits to mini dairies in Italy and with the help of our mozzarella teacher Angelo. It is difficult but very fun and satisfying to taste the delicious result.
If you are interested in buying buffalo mozzarella, meat, or lambskins from Öja Farm, you’ll find information on our website.
