Environment - Meet our Farmers

Farm to Fork // Meet our Farmers

These are the people who make Danepak what it is. The individuals who live on the family farms of Denmark - and work, day in, day out, to bring you the best of Danish. They're passionate about their pigs and their pork. Come and meet some of them.

		Anders Anders is typical of the farmers within our farming co-operative. Anders is something of a celebrity on his farm in Skandeborg, Denmark - with the pigs that is. He especially loves the excitement when he treats them to fresh straw every week.
		Inge Inge is typical of the farmers within the farming co-operative. Inge and her extended family, enjoy their farm on the island of Funen. Along with a caring home for the pigs, her 4 children and friends appreciate a wonderful environment for growing up.
		Henrik Henrik is typical of the farmers within our farming co-operative. Henrik usually starts his day at 6.30am and works through to the early evening. He’s rightly proud of his pigs and knows the care and attention he gives them makes for a more succulent and delicious taste. His farm produces around 800 tonnes of wheat and barley a year, most of which for feed. Henrik’s family-run farm was built in 1876 by his great-great-grand father. Lots of time to perfect great, great tasting pork.
		Soren Soren is typical of the farmers within our farming co-operative. Soren particularly loves harvest time on his 180 hectare farm in Funen, Denmark, though he admits the unpredictable weather is sometimes a challenge – just like in the UK! Soren’s secret to producing great tasting pork is to keep his pigs happy from day one. That means a healthy environment and the right food. Which is why Soren feeds his contented pigs with wheat and barley he’s grown himself.
