Episode 39: Horgen Gård: The Future of Sustainable farming

For this special episode, Susanne travels far into the countryside to meet up with Gudbrand, the founder of Horgan Gård. Susanne first met him when she was sourcing produce for Holzweiler Platz, and they connected over his vision for transforming farming practices towards sustainability and regenerative agriculture. Drawing on years of experience, in this conversation he highlights the importance of outdoor grazing and holistic farm management to reduce environmental impact and improve the overall quality of food.

Horgan Gård is committed to raising animals in a way that benefits the land and the environment, however Gudbrand is aware that switching to more sustainable methods isn’t always easy. Many farmers are already caught in cycles of debt and rely on subsidies; Gubrand believes that the system can only change for the better through time and support.

As the conversation shifts to the future, Gudbrand envisions a more holistic operation that focuses not on growth, but on maintaining balance. Ultimately, the goal is to inspire more sustainable farming practices that can be replicated on a larger scale, making high-quality, nutritious food more accessible and improving animal welfare. With a focus on education, transparency, and innovation, Horgan Gård is leading the way toward a future where food production is both sustainable and humane.
