History of the programme

Gräskö was an islet where sheep and cows were transported for summer grazing. The cows were milked by crofters. From the 16th century onwards, Gräskö belonged to the Penningby manor, but in 1838 the crofters Anders Sjöblom and Anders Löfgren bought their freedom from Penningby and divided Gräskö between them. The peasant fishermen's occupation, a mixture of fishing, hunting and farming, ceased and the permanent residents of Gräskö began to serve the summer people instead.
