Søagergård Regenerative Farm – Smørum, near Copenhagen, Denmark

Have you been thinking about regenerative farming for a while — but never quite taken the leap or maybe you have already jumped head first but looking for a new opportunity?

Maybe you come from a completely different background. Maybe you care deeply about food, animals, nature, and climate, but don’t yet have much hands-on experience in farming.

Maybe you already have farming experience, and want to learn even more.

Maybe you have experience from the restaurant or food production industry, but want to get closer to the soil that feeds us all.

If that sounds like you, Søagergård could be the right place.
