Achieving a Healthier Aging Rather than Just Old Age

There are places around the world, known as "blue zones," where people live longer lives. Living to a hundred years or more is not uncommon, and what makes it even more impressive is that many elders maintain their health and stay active well into their later years. We have drawn inspiration from their life and food philosophy to create a lifestyle that can be experienced and embraced in a Swedish way. We call it JORDENS BLÅ – how to achieve a healthier aging rather than just getting older.

The aim of JORDENS BLÅ is to create a space that provides strength and inspiration to our residents, where new ideas can flourish, and where meaningful quality of life, a positive mindset, and a way to enjoy life in the present are promoted. Just like in other blue zones, natural movement is a key component in explaining good health. Food, of course, also plays a central role: organic seasonal vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and less meat. Strong family ties, close friendships, and clear social networks are additional crucial elements.

JORDENS BLÅ is seamlessly integrated with an organic farm and is a natural part of everyday life. We strive to promote self-sufficiency by having the farm also supply food and crops to the residents, serving as a gathering place for communal cooking and various activities. By applying principles from permaculture and regenerative agriculture, we actively work to increase carbon sequestration in the soil.
