The company Axel Månsson A/S is one of the most innovative producers of organic vegetables and organic eggs in Scandinavia. Focusing on the soil, the plants and animal welfare, Axel Månsson has been producing vegetables and eggs for more than 40 years. Axel Månsson has an eye for tomorrow’s needs, and the company is constantly evolving. The range is expanding in line with product demand. New products will typically arise from the local development and demonstration areas on the farm, where many new species and varieties are tested and produced each year. Samples and smaller lots are shipped to customers for testing, and it is ensured whether it’s possible to produce the relevant product organically, on Brande’s light soil. New emerging organic products include: Fresh herbs and edible flowers, new types of cabbages and new specialty lettuces, as well as more exotic species. Convenience products, such as whole peeled onions, have been part of the range for many years, and this segment is still being developed – first and foremost as peeled onions diced or cut into rings. All products come in a variety of packages and in both organic and conventional variants. The farm is wellknown for being open to the public. Guided tours, lectures and workshops etc. are available upon request. A former hen house is converted into a well-stocked organic farm shop, and an organic farm café is on its way. Sustainable production Axel Månsson has a vision to become self-sufficient of nutrients in order to fulfill the organic cycle. An organic biogas plant converts different biomasses to natural gas, for heating appr. 12,000 households. The degassed biomass is used as valuable fertilizer for the vegetables. The latest technology is used in e.g. weed control and packaging. Sustainability is in focus in all aspects of the production. Monitoring and analysis is continously used in the production to ensure efficient utilization of the resources supplied, as well as full traceability.
