Søagergård Regenerative Farm – Smørum, near Copenhagen, Denmark

Farming on the frontier of innovation is exciting for the right people. In a world where there are few discoveries left, being part of Søagergård brings back the excitement of exploration and pioneers of the past. 

Being one of the few profitable farms, with unmatched animal welfare, and one of Top 50 Farmers in Europe, the possibilities are huge! 

Most small farms fail within 5 years. Do you want to create a real future with one of the only profitable small farms around? 

To be successful, you need to have what most don't have in alternative agriculture: Experience, long-term ambition and a strong determination to succeed. 

About Søagergård

Søagergård is a diverse regenerative farm working with animals, plants, and soils as one connected system. We partner with dairy cows with calves, forest-raised pigs, pastured egg layers, honeybees, fruits and berries. 

We process much of what we produce and sell directly to customers. Our work is rooted in innovation, observation, and long-term thinking — for the land, the animals, and our community.
