Vibækgård Farm Shop, Møn

Countryside gateway on the road to Stege

Vibækgård sits along Kostervej in the small settlement of Koster, on the low-lying stretch of land between Kalvehave and the market town of Stege. The surrounding fields run gently down towards Stege Bay, so even before you step inside you are framed by big skies, open farmland and the faint glimmer of water in the distance. The buildings form a traditional Danish farmyard, with the shop set close to the main house and outbuildings, so you sense you are arriving at a real working property rather than a purpose-built store. The mood is unhurried and rural. Cars and bicycles pull up in a steady rhythm, a mix of locals on everyday errands and visitors exploring Møn’s countryside. Gravel crunches underfoot, swallows skim the roofs in summer, and there is often a faint whiff of straw or feed from the farm side of the yard. It feels like a natural pause point on a loop around the island, somewhere to stretch your legs and see what is in season.

From family farm to modern gårdbutik

The present owners took over Vibækgård around the turn of the millennium and gradually developed the farm shop alongside their agricultural work. Over time it has grown into a compact but well-stocked gårdbutik, reflecting both the farm’s own production and the wider food culture of Møn and South Zealand. The emphasis is on freshness, everyday usefulness and a touch of indulgence. This dual identity gives the place a distinctive character. On one side, fields and practical farm tasks anchor Vibækgård firmly in local agriculture. On the other, shelves of specialty items and carefully arranged displays show the pride taken in presenting regional products. It is a reminder that Møn is not only home to dramatic cliffs and nature reserves, but also a living, cultivated landscape where small farms still play an important role.

Fresh produce, feed and thoughtful gifts

Inside the shop you move between crates of fruit and vegetables, stacked sacks of animal feed and rows of jars, bottles and boxes. Depending on the season you may find new potatoes, crisp apples, berries, root vegetables or pumpkins, often sourced directly from local fields and orchards. Chilled counters and shelves supplement this with cheeses, preserves, sweets and other Danish delicacies that work equally well for self-catering stays or gifts to take home. A distinctive feature of Vibækgård is its range of feed and pet supplies. Many customers arrive to stock up for horses, poultry or household pets, giving the place an everyday, practical feel. Alongside this, there are gift ideas such as baskets, local treats and decorative items that make it easy to assemble a present or a holiday hamper. The mix of utilitarian and indulgent products is part of the shop’s charm: you can come for something very specific and still leave with an unexpected extra.

A relaxed stop on a day out on Møn

Visiting Vibækgård is as much about atmosphere as shopping. The setting invites you to slow down for a while, especially if you have been driving between viewpoints or walking the coastal paths. The rural quiet is punctuated by distant tractors, the occasional dog bark and the murmur of conversation from the shop doorway. On bright days, colours in the fields and on the produce stands seem to echo each other. Families often find it an easy place to visit, with space to move around and plenty to look at, from stacked hay bales to the changing displays of goods. It works well as a provisioning stop if you are staying in a cottage or campsite on Møn, allowing you to combine everyday necessities with a sense of local flavour. For many travellers, it becomes a small anchor point in their mental map of the island: a familiar yard passed more than once during a stay.

Anchored between land, bay and nearby sights

Vibækgård’s location makes it a natural companion to other experiences on Møn. The historic streets and harbour of Stege lie a short drive away, while the coastline and gentle hills around Koster provide a quieter, more agricultural counterpoint to the island’s famous cliffs. Being close to Stege Bay, the light shifts subtly through the day, adding to the sense of openness around the farm. Because of this position, the shop can be woven into different kinds of days: a morning stop before exploring prehistoric sites in the interior, a midday break on the way back from the water, or a final errand on the route off the island. Whichever way you come and go, Vibækgård offers a grounded, everyday taste of Møn that complements its better-known natural attractions.

Simple pleasures and local connections

What lingers after a visit is the impression of straightforward hospitality and connection to place. Shelves and crates tell small stories about local growers, producers and animal owners, while the surrounding fields give context to what you see in the shop. There is no elaborate staging, just the quiet satisfaction of a farm that has opened its doors a little wider. For travellers, that makes Vibækgård a modest but memorable stop: somewhere you can buy ingredients for dinner, pick up a present, ask a practical question about the area and, for a few minutes, feel woven into the daily rhythm of Møn’s countryside.
