The farm is an organic farm with 4,5 hectares of land. At the farm, we are 90% self-sufficient with organic fresh produce for our farm restaurant, farm bakery, organic nursery, farm shop, CSA and our private label organic food products.
We grow more than 70 different crops in our 4000m² market garden, with inspiration from Jean Martin Fortier & Maude-Hélène Desroches, Elliot Coleman, Charles Dowding and all the other organic pioneers. We have a small orchard & a polytunnel for seeding & growing cucumbers, tomatoes and other hot house veggies during the summer.
We have a small organic nursery, where customers come and buy small plants, pots, garden tools and join in our our organic gardening workshops.
The sandy soil is build up over the seasons by using methods from the bio-intensive market gardens, biodynamic agriculture and no-till methods. We teach school gardens in the spring and late summer.
We raise the danish heritage pig, Sortbroget Dansk Landrace, as part of our Farm-To-Table approach, we also keep a herd of sheep, a few horses, bees, and a flock of chickens.
We have always been collecting rainwater, saving energy, collecting greenmatters form harvesting to feed our animals. Everything is seen as an resource, and we are really careful not to discard anything that could of value to the compost, the animals or as greenmatter for the garden.
The farm family is Thomas, a chef, Louise who was originally a film producer, now farm manager and their son Jonathan. The rest of the staff lives off-farm and is made up of regular and temporary staff - a great team working the land, with the animals, in the kitchen, farm restaurant and farm shop. As a wwoof you will be working as a part of the green team lead by our Head of Growth Rasmus.
Your stay as a wwoof at Rabarbergaarden, will get you hands on experience with sustainable small scale vegetable production, raising livestock and harvesting vegetables for a restaurant. When the season is right, we go foraging to keep the kitchen seasonal - even through 'the hungry gap'. We offer you a unique chance of getting behind the scenes at a modern Farm-to-Table restaurant, seeing the cycle that exist from garden to stables to restaurant.
We are a busy farm and therefore tidiness abound the farm, cleaning the quarters and being a part of keeping the farm and area attractive is essential, since we have guests in the restaurant every day.
The working days are from 7 or 8 am to 3 or 4 pm. Expect to work every secind weekend during your stay, with a replacement 2 days off the following week. There is a tea break at 9.30am and staff lunch at 12.30. Breakfast and dinner you make with the wwoof team.
This means lots of time to take a swim in the sea near by, hiking in the local woods or getting the train to enjoy beautiful Copenhagen. Tisvildeleje is a small town just 2 km from the farm, and is a buzzeling place during smmer, with cafes, restaurants, shops, musicfestivals and a lot of young people.
We are open and reliable people, and enjoy input from around the world. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Skype interview can be booked.
Stays are possible from 2 weeks - 2 months. Bookings are available all year around, summer with a lot of outdoor work, winters a lot of fixing and repairing both indoor and outdoor - and fires in the fireplace in the restaurant :) Wwoof requests for longer stays are prioritised.

I loved my time at Rabarbergaarden so much! Thank you to Louise, Thomas, the chef staff, the farm team. I learned so much and had so much fun. I want to go back already! Be prepared to work hard! You'll also be working closely with animals (pigs, horses, sheep, chickens) -- they are super sweet!

I had a wonderful experience WWOOFing on Louise’s farm and would definitely recommend. The area was beautiful, and there is easy access to a cute beach town nearby. The expectations for work are very clear and fair - you work 7-3 (with a coffee and lunch break) alongside the amazing full time gardening staff and get two days off a week. The accommodations are good - sharing a room with another wwoofer with laundry access and everything you’d need. We took care of the animals and did a wide assortment of tasks on the farm - planting, preparing beds, harvesting, weeding, etc. The gardeners that work there are extremely kind and patient and seem to genuinely enjoy teaching people with no experience how to garden. They took time to answer questions and were passionate about organic farming. I enjoyed the time I spent with everyone on the farm and had great conversations to learn more about Danish culture and organic farming industries. The hosts were very friendly and were sure to check in to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. I was proud of the work I did and felt I learned so much in just two weeks - a special experience and great community!

Rabarbergaarden is truly a magical place -- Louise and the farming team are wonderful, the garden is beautiful, and the food is delicious. The surrounding area (nice beach town) is amazing as well. I can't recommend this place enough!

I had such a good time at Rabarbergaarden , The farm is located really close to a train station so it’s easy access and good if you want to take day trips to Copenhagen or nearby towns. Tisvilde is also a short bike ride away where there is a lovely beach. Louise and Thomas are such lovely people and made a big effort to make everything really welcoming for the woofers. I felt so fortunate to spend the work days with the gardening team, they were all really patient when explaining tasks and it was so inspiring to see their hard work and passion for their job. You also get really delicious meals cooked from the kitchen staff who were also such kind and friendly people along with the rest of the staff at Rabarbergaarden.
Overall it was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone. Thank you so much for the time I spent here!!

Rabarbergaarden is a supernice and cozy place. The staff is very friendly and openminded, you get lots of nice food and company. The work on the fields was diverse, from planting to preparing beds via harvesting to animal care. It was a lot of fun and I learned interesting things about ecological agriculture. The shop and restaurant is frequented by many locals, which is nice, because there is always some action, especially during the weekends.
Wwoofers share a big room, which is okay, but unfortunately there is not much space to hang out and relax. That could be improved, e.g. by a little couch or armchair in the room. In the summertime it might be easier, because you can spend the time outside in the gardens...
I can definitely recommend to stay an Louises and Thomas' place to experience the danish landscape, culture and field work! Thanks for the great time!
