We have followed the Land Builders to their farms, hotels, clinics, cafés, offices, shops, sports fields, cabins, reindeer enclosures, community centers, dog kennels, and campsites. We have seen the drive of the Land Builders who are passionate about their various businesses and generously share their everyday lives and their best tips to encourage you to start or develop your own businesses here!

There have been many meetings and long conversations with all the Land Builders, and we have weighed their words on a golden scale to get as fair a picture as possible in the short films. We have arranged and fiddled to include as much as possible of the different businesses they run, defied snowstorms and downpours, navigated among dog sleds, forest machines, pigs, chanterelles, horses, grill huts, and snowshoes to take you into their reality! We have chased notepaper in the meadows of Borgvattnet, received horse-drawn rides to the store in Norråker, helped with reindeer sorting in Härberggsdalen, balanced on logs in the forest, gone on elf walks, acted as stand-in extras, and plunged into deep snow to capture the best angles together with our fantastic film team.

Videographer Mattias Forssell from Swedish Mountain Film and photographer Marléne Nilsén aka Lavenlay have managed to reflect the reality we live in here in a wonderfully beautiful way. Through film and photographic material, we have conveyed a broad picture of being an entrepreneur and community entrepreneur here with us! You have met young Land Builders with various businesses, newcomers who have moved here and started a new life, associations that are passionate about their events, plus many other passionate individuals and enthusiasts.

We have shared the Land Builders here on the website, but also on social media, other channels, in municipal calendars, at local meetings, events, fairs, and cinemas. We have also had exchanges of experiences with those who run Landsbyggare projects in other areas in Sweden and at the Landsbyggare festivals in the summer of 2024, Landsbyggare from all over our area met! It is in the meetings between people that things happen! New contacts are made and new opportunities open up. Thanks to phone interviews at the beginning and at the end of the project, we have been able to get a picture of the attitudes residents have towards living and working right here. The quality of life is what we who live here appreciate the most about our place, and it is something we wanted to convey, that here you can live well and realize your dreams!

In our area, there are many businesses and associations run by passionate individuals and entrepreneurs. Everyone creates and develops different opportunities here in our rural areas!
