Varnhem Farm Shop

Shopping and inspiration in a historic setting

Varnhems gårdsbutik is a genuine destination for those seeking the small-scale and beautiful. The shop is housed in an old outbuilding that has undergone a gentle transformation to create a harmonious retail environment. The assortment is hand-picked with care, featuring everything from sleek Danish design to charming, handmade details like home-crocheted pot holders and delicate glass cups.

Here, you can browse through country-style interiors for both home and garden, experience selected scents, and find unique items that add character to your life. The shop's location at Axevallavägen 10 makes it extremely accessible, as it is situated directly adjacent to the large visitor car park shared with Varnhems klosterkyrka and the fascinating Kata Gård.

Cosy café with home-baked treats and ice cream

When you need a break during your excursion, the farm shop offers a personal café open during the summer months. The focus here is on classic Swedish fika culture, where the aroma of home-baked goods meets refreshing ice cream. It is a perfect spot for both adults and children to sit down and enjoy a moment of relaxation in the historic atmosphere.

The shop and café are usually open Tuesday to Sunday between 12:00 and 17:00, making it easy to plan a visit as part of a day trip in Skara.

Explore the surroundings in the Valle area

As part of the Vallevägen network, the shop serves as an excellent base for discovering more of the scenic cultural landscape. After some shopping and a coffee, you are ready to explore the nearby nature reserves or visit historical sites such as Axevalla Hus.

For those who enjoy hiking, there are several trails nearby that take you through the unique landscape. If you have forgotten anything for your picnic or need to restock your supplies, ICA Nära Axvall is just a short drive away.
