LLamas and sheep and fleamarket and café near Uddevalla


We're dedicated to political organizing, getting Americans abroad to vote and to influence our government. But we also believe in having a good time and building community.

DA member Jeff Cabot lives on a farm in Utby near Uddevalla where two of his daughters -- Emily and Alexandra -- run a wonderful fleamarket & café (Systrarnas Loppis & Café). Seven of us visited for a special tour on Sunday 23 July.

The large barn and several nearby sheds are stuffed with fascinating fleamarket goods. The café serving wonderful homemade pastries -- Alexandra is a trained baker -- is also in the barn amidst fleamarket splendor. 

Outside we picnicked and wandered among the flowers and the  llamas, sheep, rabbits, chickens, the pot-bellied pig Ingemar, the (Democratic) donkey Ior, and more.

We had a wonderful time connecting again with Jeff -- whom we met last year at our Voting Center in Uddevalla during our Global Presidential Primary Election (between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders) -- and meeting his lovely wife Yvonne and charming daughters. 

We look forward eagerly to our next visit. Thanks Jeff and family! (and thanks to Carry for renting a van for us!)
