Kristian Agergaard

A Lifetime in the Countryside

For Kristian from Agergaard, life in the countryside is nothing new. He was born and raised on a farm, and since 2000, he has been working in chicken production himself. The fact that he chose chickens was no coincidence. Kristian really enjoys the daily routine of working with chickens, and this particular form of production is therefore a perfect fit for him and his family’s life at Agergaard in northern West Jutland.

The Path to Better Animal Welfare

Kristian started out with conventional chicken farming, but when the opportunity arose, he accepted the offer to raise free-range chickens instead—a decision he hasn’t regretted one bit!

Although Kristian started out with conventional chicken production, there’s no doubt in his mind that he’s now exactly where he needs to be, and he’s constantly working to create the best possible conditions for the chickens: “I want to help continuously improve animal welfare and do everything I can to ensure my chickens are well cared for.”

A Busy Day on the Farm

In addition to the free-range chickens, Kristian’s farm also includes crop production and the cultivation of, among other things, potatoes for potato chips, which are supplied to chip factories both in Denmark and in Germany. Everyday life at Agergaard is therefore never quiet, and there isn’t much time off, as the farm demands his constant attention. When he finally has time for a little vacation, he and his family enjoy spending it at home in beautiful Denmark.
