valuable Tips
We want to give you some valuable tips to ensure that the berries come to us in as good condition as possible. Make sure to pick the berries in clean containers that do not smell or have previously been used to hold chemical products such as gasoline, diesel etc. Please, do not use plastic bags as it causes the berries to ferment and become alcoholic.
Make sure to wipe the wet berries and keep them dry, then they will stay nice longer. When we receive the berries, they can contain a maximum of 1-2% debris, so clean the berries from twigs and leaves as good as you can. It is very important that the berries do not contain stones as it can destroy the cleaning/sorting machines.
You will have the opportunity to buy some equipment from us, such as plastic boxes and carrier picker/machine. These can be returned to us when the season is over, and depending on the condition, you get back the full sum or a certain percentage. Remember to bring boots as it is often wet in our Swedish forests. To make it easier for you, we have maps of areas where there should be plenty of berries, ask us and you will get such a map.
rule of conduct
In Sweden we have a law called the "Allemansrätten", which means that we all have access to nature, but that includes both rights and obligations. You must take responsibility for nature and wildlife and show consideration for landowners and other visitors. Take the garbage to us instead of throwing it in the woods, in parks or at campsites, as this violates the law. You are not allowed to camp at lakes and beaches. We do not buy berries from people who violate the law eg. thefts, driving influenced by beer or alcohol. Download this PDF with useful information in several languages.

There are also accommodation options at Hamra Vildmarkscenter or Hamra Stugby which is about 15 minutes outside Loos.
Welcome to Loos
Loos is a small village located far into the deeper forests of northern Hälsingland, in the municipality of Ljusdal, in Sweden. The village is surrounded by a beautiful forest landscape which mostly consists of coniferous forests, hilly terrain, blue mountains, lakes and many small ponds. You can get here both by car and bus. Apart from the fact that our forests are full of berries, there are also good chances to see wildlife such as bears and moose, maybe even a lynx if you're lucky. We hope you will enjoy your stay, welcome to Loos!
