Svanholm, Agricultural community farmyard in Skibby, Denmark
Svanholm is a farming community on approximately 414 hectares of organic land with grain crops, dairy cattle, vegetable gardens, and fruit trees across Zealand. The operation integrates multiple food production methods across its large territory where residents farm collectively.
The community was established in 1978 as a collective farming project devoted to organic practices and sustainable methods in Denmark. This original vision continues to guide how the farm operates and how residents organize themselves.
The community operates through group decision-making where residents gather regularly to plan shared goals and organize daily activities together. This collaborative approach shapes how people live alongside each other and work the land.
The farm welcomes visitors on designated days to learn about community life and housing opportunities for those considering membership. Advance contact ensures you can arrange a visit or join a community gathering.
Members pool their income and divide responsibilities while some work on the farm and others hold jobs outside it. This blend of farming and outside employment allows residents to maintain varied career paths.
