Farm-to-table at Birkemosegård: What to see, buy, and experience

Rolling hills, bright nights, and green meadows. Odsherred's summerland is truly special, and the biodynamic farm Birkemosegård at the top of Sjællands Odde invites you right into its heart. The farm is a local favorite among our wonderful Landfolk hosts, who often stop by to enjoy summer food prepared with the best ingredients from Odsherred's treasure trove or explore the farm shop, which is brimming with local specialties for your holiday home.

Birkemosegård offers everything your heart desires in organic greens and berries, specialty goods, and meat from their own livestock. Here, you can not only fill your basket with seasonal vegetables and locally produced specialties. You can also eat organic and biodynamic food and get a taste of the area that frames your holiday home vacation. Don't miss the activities taking place on the farm: from communal dinners and field walks to courses in the art of fermentation.

Biodynamic Pioneer

Birkemosegård is a family business that has been passed down through generations since 1906. As far back as 1968, the farm has cultivated organic greens, thus being one of the earliest advocates for the idea that vegetables should come directly from the soil and not be filled with additives. From informal farm-gate sales, the farm has today grown into a combined restaurant, organic farm, and farm shop, owned by the family's fourth generation, Jesper Andersen and Kalatrong Apairatana (commonly known as Kung).

Puts Odsherred on the Gastronomic Map

Birkemosegård is not only known and loved in the local area of Havnebyen on Sjællands Odde. The farm also supplies a wide range of renowned Copenhagen restaurants, which create culinary art from the farm's vegetables. Over time, the farm has, for example, sent vegetables to restaurants such as Noma, Bæst, and Manfreds & Vin.

Birkemosegård's vegetables have also found their way into ordinary Copenhagen homes with weekly Thursday boxes, which can be picked up around the Capital Region and are brimming with a selection of the best from the farm's fields. For example, enjoy the summer's crisp peas and asparagus and new Danish potatoes, best served with a dollop of butter and a sprinkle of salt. Or feast on autumn's pumpkins, cabbage, and beets.

Fill Your Basket with Local Specialties

If you stop by Birkemosegård's farm shop, you will most likely come home with your arms full of specialty goods you didn't know you needed. The shelves in the shop are overflowing with fresh greens and fruit, natural wine and delicacies, local lamb and beef from their own livestock. Here you can find an organic variant of everything you might miss for dinner in your holiday home – from eggs and milk, oils and vinegars to juice, honey, and preserves.

Kung is ready behind the counter for a chat about this and that, and when you're done exploring the shop's selection, you can take a walk through the fields down to the water or visit Havnebyen's cozy shops and cafes. If you miss Birkemosegård's organic products when you return home from your holiday home trip, most of the items on the shelves can be ordered in the webshop.
