Søtofte dairy, Denmark

Michel Pouelsen and Marie Østergaard from Denmark, manage their Søtoftes Jordbrug & Gårdmejeri farm with 30 cows in a sustainable way: They eat exclusively grass. In the winter they eat hay and grass silage. The calves drink milk from their mothers, so they milk them only once a day, 1,400 hens move to pastures behind the cows. In their own dairy Søtofte, the milk is pasteurized and processed with Plevnik Cheese kettle SKH 500 EL Professional with MC 500R and Plevnik pasteurizer P 200 EL Professional with MC 500. They also make fresh cheese and yoghurt. Michael and Marie sell their products not only to local customers but also to the best restaurants and hotels in Copenhagen. Customers appreciate knowing where their food comes from.
