Hesselbjerggaard is 38 Ha. We do Nature conservation/meat production with Cattle and Sheeps. We are situated in the middle of the National Park. We have Fruit production (Apples, Cherries, Pears, Blueberries, Rasberries etc) and we produce Vegetables, both in a big green house and free range. We also produce eggs. Some of the products are sold from the farm, others (meat) is delivered to Supermarkets, and others to local shops and restaurants.
There are 4 families with small children living on the farm. We have guests - schools and companies coming to see, taste and learn what organic farming is all about. We have som tourist activities during the summer, including AirBnB rentals and canooing for rent.
The farm is 35 km from Copenhagen, and 10 km from Roskilde in the middle of Zeeland. Busses and trains will take you to town on a regular basis.
We are located close to rivers and lakes, and 6 km away there is a nice beach if you want to go swimming in the fjord.
Michael and Jessie are both full time working on the Farm. We ave good spece and positive experiences including wwoofers in the daily work
Organic methods: We produce our own compost from the Cattles Winter Manure. We try to keep the grass lands in good shape by regular shifts and a small number of animals.
Certifications: The Danish State Organic Certification Standard. In accordance with EU regulation for organic agriculture.
Current projects: I have just finished blueberry planting and the rasberry is also under way. watering and maintaining the different fruit productions is much of my time.
I am starting up the tourist season with guests, meals and Airbnb.
