The Von Schwerin farm produces barley, wheat, and beets, which are the most prevalent crops in Sweden. Barley, in particular, has historically played an important role in the Swedish economy due its agreement with the climate, and adaptability to various forms of crop rotation. The crop was introduced to Sweden around the Ume River area as early as the 8th century BC. In the 16th century, it was the main crop that was harvested in Sweden. Although the cultivation of barley has been in decline since then, it has nevertheless remained a staple in Sweden agriculture, especially in the north. Most barley grown in Sweden in the present day is used primarily for brewing. It is usually cultivated on family farms, as are most crops in Sweden.
 
Harvest time in Sweden is rich in traditions. Many harvest festivals take place all over the nation in late September. The largest Swedish harvest festival, skördefest, takes place in Öland and spans an entire four days.
