Visit to Hallon gården (Bringebær/Raspberry farm and Cafe) 03.07.17

Hallongården is located 20 km south of Malmö and only 15 minutes by car from the Öresund Bridge. It offers a farm shop, Halloncafé (Raspberry café) and animals typical of a Skåne farm, all in a genuine rural setting.

All home-made produce, featuring a variety of raspberry-based cakes and biscuits. For those with a hearty appetite, we have open sandwiches with our speciality toppings. When the weather allows,you can take your picnic basket and sit out amongst the raspberry bushes or perhaps down by our ponds, where you can enjoy the murmur of the water and the singing of the birds.
When autumn comes or when the weather is not suitable for outdoor picnics, you can dine in the comfort of our cosy stable café.
