If you are just curious about whether farming is the right career for you or you are just starting out and want some inspiration, please book a farm tour.
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.
Within three years, Marianne and Andy grew Søagergård Regenerativt Jordbrug organically, to become Denmark’s home of radically regenerative agriculture. 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
- Business development and sales channels
- Planning complex projects
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 an egg packery, farm shop or another type of food-processing facility; 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
