Peter Gerdehag has followed life on the farm Kroxhult 1:4 with his camera for 35 years. No one has ever documented a farm for such a long time in Sweden.
Time has stood still here, in a few years this lifestyle will be gone.
The book is a quiet tribute to our cultural heritage and to the small farmers from whom we all descend. We who call ourselves modern have much to thank them for. Democracy, culture and a rich landscape, among many other things. The Caremalm family becomes the symbol of all the farmers who worked before the modern era swept in and scattered the tradition to all the winds of time. Peter watches them with the camera's eye, and sees how they toil in the stone kingdom they inherited. They themselves say that they are just living their lives. Nothing remarkable really, but still a godsend to manage. Because it is about stewardship.
