About us
Korvhantverks Fatabur is an organic charcuterie destination in eastern Orust in Bohuslän, with charcuterie, farm shop, restaurant & kitchen garden, which 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!
The farm shop
The word Fatabur can be translated as Treasury, and we want that feeling, that here you can find treasures you rarely find anywhere else. Of course, our charcuteries are here, with unique flavours that are only sold on site, but we have also handpicked an assortment that makes you happy in both the soul and the stomach.
Here you will find the tastiest liver pate, the most delicious fresh sausage, but also nice things for the kitchen & garden, some old beautiful things and maybe also a nice gift for someone you like.
The farm shop is open during the same hours as the restaurant, and soon you can also order, for example, a barbecue bag in the car queue, and have it packed and ready when you arrive. Follow us on social media for updates on that and everything else.
The restaurant
The restaurant at Korvhantverk’s Fatabur has four areas – the inside of the barn is divided into the Hen House & Pigsty, with a total of 34 seats. Outside there are two outdoor seating areas: The Sunny side and The Front side.
During lunchtime at Fatabur we serve light dishes, sandwiches with our own charcuterie, homemade pastries, etc.
In the afternoon, we fire up the pizza oven and start serving sourdough pizzas. For snacks and starters, we have our own charcuteries, crisps and soups. Tasty desserts are also available, and with it all you drink good natural wines, locally produced beers or organic non-alcoholic alternatives.
Events & Charcuterie production
Here at Kåröd & Korvhantverks Fatabur, we can (except in the summer, when the restaurant is full) help for example hunters who want to have delicious sausages and charcuteries made from the game or farmers who want extra good sausages in the farm shop.
Jon Randow, the man behind the newly release book “Charkbibeln” (= The Charcuterie Bible) and the brand Korvhantverk, which for more than a decade produced completely additive-free organic cured meat in Stockholm, rules the charcuterie at Kåröd .
If you want us to make sausages for you – call Jon on 0708-149989.
We also offer charcuterie events for companies during autumn and spring, where the work group can learn to make their own sausage, eat it together and bring the leftovers home to their own barbecue. This can also be combined with beer tasting, wine tasting or other activities.
If you want us to specially design an event, call Catarina on 0709-582999 or email info@fatabur.se
