”As a farmer I’m dressed in workwear 365 days per year but I have had a hard time finding trousers that fit well. With Fristads I seem to have done so.”

Professsion: ​​​​​​​Bonde

Motto: ”Work just enough.”


​​​​​​​Fixing machines, growing tomatoes, harvesting hay, building greenhouses, managing forests, caring for horses, making charcoal. As the sixth-generation farmer at the farm Effersgården in Insjön Matts Rickardsson has had to learn a little bit about a lot. Even though he is a busy bee who has worked just about every day of his adult life, Matts is now trying to slow down and get better at just enjoying himself. Having said that, the farm still takes up a lot of time and Matts has a few building projects up his sleeve. On Instagram, his goal is to inspire others to take the leap to owning and running a farm.
