Korvhantverks Fatabur is an organic charcuterie destination in eastern Orust in Bohuslän, with charcuterie, farm shop, restaurant & kitchen garden, which has opened in the summer of 2023 in a converted old barn.

So who are we who run Fatabur? Our names are Jon & Catarina Randow, and we have been running the organic charcuterie Korvhantverk for just over a decade. During this decade, medal-awarded charcuteries have been produced (for example, 6 gold medals in the SM in Mathantverk and a Diploma from the Swedish Gastronomic Academy), and the focus has always been on PURE food, i.e. food without additives and nitrites, which at the same time must be extremely good.

When Korvhantverk needed to leave the premises in Stockholm in 2021 (it was becoming housing), we needed to think new and different, and we quickly decided to rebuild the barn, by the old family house we bought, into a charcuterie, farm shop & restaurant. Then it took longer than we thought, but now we are finally here!

Why do we believe we can run a restaurant in a good way? Well, both have backgrounds in the hospitality industry, where Jon worked for a long time as a chef & head chef in Stockholm’s better restaurants, and Catarina has spent large parts of her professional life in 4- and 5-star hotels.

Why Orust? Well, Catarina, and her entire extended family, are from Orust & Myckleby (the childhood home was the teacher’s residence in the current Allmagsgården), so when it was time to leave Stockholm, after 30 years in the embezzlement, a move home was completely natural. Jon, on the other hand, now gets to watch the matches for his favorite team Hammarby remotely, but on the other hand can he frequent the away matches in Gothenburg and the surrounding area.

Korvhantverk’s Fatabur also includes a large kitchen garden (a converted old horse paddock) where we grow our own spices & teas and where, in the future, there will be an orchard that looks a bit like the one that existed on this site 100 years ago. Korvhantverk’s Fatabur is located on the old grounds belonging to Kåröds Säteri, where the manor building was demolished a long time ago, but where the wings of history can be heard on the hill in the horse paddock. This is also where the invention of the thumbstick started, oddly enough, as the inventor himself, Karl Hilmer Johansson Kollén, grew up in the manor’s side building, right next to Fatabur. The book about him will be sold in our farm shop. Welcome!
