Axel Månsson’s farm covers the production of organic eggs from approx. 230,000 organic egg layers, a diversity of vegetables on 1,200 ha, as well as arable crops on appr. 900 ha. We reach out for internal coherence from the production of organic eggs and vegetables to servicing our guests in the farm shop and at our own local Hotel Dalgas. Sustainability and circular economy are central aspects on the farm. Thus, livestock manure and other biomasses are converted into upgraded biogas in the plant Nature Energy Månsson, while the degassed biomass is utilized as a valuable fertilizer in vegetable production. The headquarter is in Brande, in bright and modern facilities. The competitive capacity is based on a strong and wide product range, thorough customer focus, fast reaction time, security of supply and high quality.
