Local tips

  • Bring Danish cash or have MobilePay ready, as payment is self-service without card terminals and the shop is unstaffed.
  • Pack a cool bag if you plan to buy meat, eggs or juice, especially in warmer months or if you have a longer drive afterwards.
  • Allow time to read the labels on the different flours and grains; many are old varieties with distinct baking uses and flavours.
  • Visit at different times of year if you are nearby often—the selection changes with the seasons and reflects what is harvested from the fields.

Organic fields on the flatlands of Falster

Lammehave Økologi sits in the gentle, open landscape of eastern Falster, just outside the village of Horbelev. The farm works about 32 hectares, using organic methods shaped by the cool Baltic springs, dry sunny summers and mild autumns that characterise this corner of Denmark. This coastal climate, together with fertile soils, allows a surprisingly wide range of crops to thrive. From the entrance you look out over patchwork fields and vegetable beds, interspersed with small orchards and windbreaks. The atmosphere is rural and unhurried: tractors in the distance, hens scratching near the barns and the occasional bleat from the flock of sheep. Even on a short visit, you sense this is a working farm first and a shop second, with production happening just beyond the shelves.

A self-service shop built on trust

The farm shop itself is deliberately simple: a small, unfussy space where produce is arranged in wooden crates, freezers and shelves rather than in polished displays. There is no staffed counter; instead, a price list, a cash box and MobilePay details invite you to weigh, tally and pay for your own shopping. The shop is open around the clock, so early risers and late arrivals can browse whenever it suits them. This trust-based system fits the character of Lammehave Økologi. The mood is informal and homely, more like stepping into a neighbour’s pantry than into a typical grocery store. Short notes explain what is in season or how a particular flour or cut of meat is best used, turning the room into a quiet, self-guided introduction to the farm’s output.

From soil to shelf: what the farm produces

Lammehave Økologi focuses on diversity rather than monoculture. In the fields, 25–30 different vegetables are grown over the year, from sturdy potatoes and carrots to leafy greens and seasonal specialties. Small apple and pear plantings add fresh fruit in late summer and autumn, while old grain varieties are harvested and milled on-site to produce distinctive flours. Livestock is an equally important part of the cycle. Around 400 hens supply a steady stream of eggs, while a flock of roughly 80 ewes provides lambs and lamb meat. Through a local collaboration, surplus products from the farm’s mill are exchanged for organic forest pigs, adding pork to the range without expanding the farm’s own herd. This networked approach keeps the product line broad while staying rooted in small-scale, local production.

Inside the farm shop: what you can buy

On any given day, the shop’s selection reflects the farm’s current harvest. Crates may be filled with potatoes, carrots, onions or cabbages, while other bins hold apples and pears when in season. Freezers store portions of lamb and pork in various cuts, and shelves are lined with flour from the farm’s old grain varieties, each with its own baking qualities. Beyond the farm’s own products, Lammehave Økologi supplements its range with carefully chosen organic and biodynamic items. You might find eggs, honey, juices and cordials, coffee, spices and a handful of other pantry goods, all sourced to match the farm’s sustainable ethos. The result is a compact but surprisingly complete farm-based larder, ideal for stocking a holiday kitchen or assembling a simple, seasonal meal.

A social dimension to a small organic farm

Lammehave Økologi also has a quieter, social role. The farm is approved under a Danish social service provision that allows people with developmental disabilities to work here in a structured, supportive environment. Their contribution helps make the farm’s many production branches possible, from vegetable handling to packaging flour. As a visitor, you experience the outcome rather than the process: neatly stacked bags of grain, well-labelled freezers and tidy rows of produce. Yet knowing that the farm functions as a workplace for vulnerable citizens adds another layer to the experience. This is not only an organic farm shop, but a place where agriculture, social care and local community intertwine in everyday, practical ways.

Seasonal rhythms and the joy of slow shopping

Because the shop follows the farm’s own rhythm, no two visits are quite the same. Winter might emphasise root vegetables and flour, spring brings fresh greens, summer overflows with varied vegetables, and autumn combines grain, fruit and meat. Browsing becomes a gentle lesson in seasonality and local food culture. The pace here is slow. You may have the shop entirely to yourself, free to read labels, compare flours or select the exact potatoes you want. Stepping back outside, you are immediately returned to the open Falster landscape, perhaps with a bag of ingredients that tell the story of this particular farm and its carefully tended fields.
