We work with our animals like no one else in Denmark

As you can hopefully see from the below, we do not think the organic standards are good enough in relation to both animal welfare and the local environment. We have therefore chosen not to become organically certified. Since our agriculture still has to be classified by the state, we have been assigned the classification "free land".

About Søagergård

Søagergård is a regenerative small-scale farm of just under 10 hectares where, in collaboration with animals and plants, we let their natural impact on the land create increased biodiversity, retention of water and nutrients for the plants and healthier crops by e.g. to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere and store it as life-giving carbon in the soil.
