Fast track to a profitable, sustainable farm
Our ecosystems evolved symbiotically; with animals, plants, insects, bacteria, fungi (and of course us humans!) contributing to an abundant environment.
In our desire for control and productivity, modernity has broken the symbiosis, creating monocultures and homogeneity of:
- Over-engineered grains, vegetables and forestry (not to mention GMO or transgenic)
- Single-breed animal feeding lots, including "sustainable" fish farms
- Cities and their residents, disconnected from natural cycles
- Thought and ideas to address environmental issues
Opposite to fear-based narratives, we are not pleading that we have the solution to "the end is nigh". What we have is a workable and demonstrable approach that returns the harmony of nature – while restoring and nourishing the local human communities. It is an approach that empowers us and those around us, helping us make a direct, meaningful change locally.

The truth is, you're justified in feeling intimidated
The vast majority of new farm businesses close in the first five years, because they:
- Burn through all the hard-earned savings; by making costly mistakes and not knowing how to properly structure their farm
- Make little money, despite long hours and huge physical efforts on the farm; with low sales and profit margins due to not knowing how to market their products
- Burn out mentally and lose all hope; because their valuable time is spent trying to copy others' ideas, instead of focusing on what really works for them and everyone around them
We understand how overwhelming it is to start a farm or homestead, or improve your existing farm
We've been there. No matter how well we thought we were prepared, we faced the challenges that destroy new farm businesses and the dreams of a fulfilling life.
Thanks to our unique farming and non-farming experience, we have succeeded where most fail. Starting in 2020 with no farming experience, our farm is now strong and profitable, and which has been named one of Europe's Top 50 Farmers in 2025.
We don't want your farming dreams to stall because of uncertainty or to be shattered because of the risks. We've faced the risks and paid the price, so you don't have to.
Choosing to work with us is the right step towards achieving your farming dreams
We will empower you to:
- Structure your operations and build infrastructure that actually works, saving your hard-earned money and your limited time, so you can really enjoy your new farming business how you always wanted

Our coaching session with Andy was extremely beneficial, where we looked at our business model and the changes we could make. He is laser sharp in his knowledge of marketing and customer relationship management. Backed by his hard won experience of having his own successful small scale farm. We had new insights and aha moments in our way of thinking about our farm and how to move forward. Very inspiring and useful…
Common questions
Do I need this, if I have read all the books and taken other online training?
Probably yes. Most courses and online influencers don't focus on what matters.
How does the knowledge relate to you practically, and is it right for you in the first place?
We'll be your guide, making sure that it works for you, and will give you the skills to make it a sustainable business and lifestyle.
Will the cost be worth it?
Yes. Because of the hundreds of hours you'll save and all the costs from learning. We have made errors that cost farmers many hundreds of thousands of Euros. We want to make sure you don't make those same errors
I have a pretty good design for my hens house/cow house/vegetable garden, do I still need you?
Probably yes. There are lots of good ideas on paper, which catch out many farmers. Many personalities want you to believe that their build is the best.
We'll help you assess the real world advantages of systems and what works in terms of animal/plant welfare, welfare for the farmer (time in construction, operation), investment costs.
Will you just be giving me the answers or will I still be able to be creative?
Yes, you will still be able to be creative.
We will be your guide, not your boss. We will work with you to come up with options that work in your context, and we will help you implement them in the way that works for you.
I'm just homesteading, is this relevant for me?
Yes. Being able to sustain a lifestyle that you want is a great way to show to yourself that you are self sufficient.
We will help you to be more self sufficient in finances, time and energy. The last thing we want is for you to abandon your dream and have to move back to the city and get a boring job again.

Agricultural entrepreneur training
If you are passionate about regenerative agriculture, are energetic and have an innovative way of thinking, then invest in mentoring from successful agricultural entrepreneurs.
We have grown Søagergård Regenerativt Jordbrug organically, to become Denmark’s home of radically regenerative agriculture and one of Europe's Top 50 Farmers in 2025. We have done all this while having other work and family commitments!
Using our combined 30 years’ expertise of working with some of the world’s most recognisable organisations, we can help you at any stage of your business:
- Finding inspiration and an idea that fits your personality and your goals
- Business planning, financing and grant/loan applications
- Market research, branding and marketing

In addition to the business side, we can help you with specific training in agriculture. Our knowledge is based on our training and experience in:
- Holistic planning
- Rotational grazing
- Broad and specific aspects relating to hens, pigs, cows and bees
- Working with regulators
- Engineering design, carpentry, metalwork, maintenance and basic machinery mechanics
- Troubleshooting
We can bring in other professionals that can help you in terms resilience to stress, burn-out and creating strong mental wellbeing. We have found this aspect to be very important, especially when you become more successful.
We can mentor and consult at our location in Denmark, at your location (with travel expenses) or online via teleconference.
Facility design and HACCP (food safety)
If you are in the EU or UK and need help getting regulatory approval for a food business, including:
- Egg packeries
- Farm shops
- Production kitchens
- Small scale dairies
- Food banks
- Or other types of food-processing facilities;
We can help you!
We know this is an area of concern for many, who just want to farm and have no idea about the rules and language that regulators use.
Regulators like to see people take training and advice from those with more experience.
With a Level 3 diploma in HACCP and experience of working in catering management for one of the world's largest turn-key catering companies, we have passed many regulatory reviews without issues.
We offer a complete package, where we will:
- Review your planned or current area for a facility
- Train you in HACCP (maintaining food safety) that is specific to your needs
- Create an actionable plan for your facility to meet standards
- Help you to create your HACCP processes and documentation
You may also want a smaller review of an element of your HACCP, which we can help with.
Bespoke training
We give regular bespoke training courses to businesses on specific elements of their business.
We also give regular lectures at universities and are guest tutors on training courses.
