The beginning
On 14 July 1887, 500 farmers from central Jutland came together to found Denmark's first farming cooperative. This is where our story starts. Land was purchased, construction was started, and equipment was set up. By 22 December 1887, they were ready to slaughter the first pigs.
Farmers came together to form cooperatives that could secure better prices and quality control for their cattle. This model was based on shared ownership and mutual benefit, laying the foundation for what we are today.
