Selling ice-cream adds value to farm-produced milk

Björketorp Farm in Blekinge, Sweden, spans 220 hectares and operates 120 dairy cows using an automatic milking system. The farm produces 9,600 kg of KRVC-certified milk per cow annually and grows winter oilseed rape, faba beans, triticale, barley, and grasslands for silage. It is certified organic and has developed value-added products, notably homemade ice-cream made from farm milk, sold on-site and to local restaurants. The initiative, launched six years ago, reflects a commitment to quality, sustainability, and community engagement, with plans to expand through events and a potential restaurant. The farm also raises 11 horses and uses contracted services for harvesting and manure spreading.
