Wiberg's Farm

Wiberg’s transition to regenerative farming

Climate Farmer since
2025

Farm History

  • The main house dates back to the 18th century and originally served as a roadside inn.
  • In 1873, Karl Fredrik Wiberg purchased the property, and since then, successive generations have cared for the land.
  • Until the Second World War, it was a diverse farm employing many people.
  • After the war, Johannes’ grandfather and father focused exclusively on grain production.
  • Today, Johannes and Steven aim to return the farm to its diverse roots, guided by regenerative principles.

Previous practices

  • Since 2020, the farm has primarily produced organic grass
  • The future of the farm is being planned with a focus on Holistic Management and the Soil Health Principles
  • In the last year, priority was given to observation and understanding the needs of the land

Investment costs

  • Laying Hens to rotationally graze
  • Finnish Heritage Cows and a small micro-dairy, to rotationally graze as well
  • Agrivoltaics installation – Vertical Bifacial solar panels
  • Market Garden development
  • Orchard design and plantation

Challenges we want to address with the transition

  • Compacted Clay Soils with limited organic matter and microbial activity
  • The pessimism and current perceptions that come with new farmers and the farming sector
  • Difficulties regarding the legal requirements around regenerative farming

Taking over the family farm, we see our role as stewards – between past and future generations exercising responsible care and management of land, resources, and community. Regenerative agriculture embodies and emboldens farming practices that ensure this stewardship, which is why we’re excited to embark on this transition.

— The reason why Wiberg’s decided to transition to regenerative agriculture

Future ambitions

Being able to show that a small-scale regenerative farm can have success 

Create a community to learn from each other and share the benefits of regenerative agriculture

Having the farm as a hub to bring people together for different activities.
