More than 20 years ago, we, brothers Per-Olof and Martin Ingemarsson, started raising chickens at our farm in Sl\u00e4ttar\u00f6d. In our family business, we continue to focus on what is most important to us: our loved ones, good quality food, responsible animal welfare, and care for animals, people, and the environment. And last but not least \u2013 our beloved home region on the Bj\u00e4re Peninsula.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For us, the animals' health and well-being always come first. Therefore, we give the chickens plenty of space in the barn, with free access to fresh water and feed. Our chickens are allowed to grow slowly \u2013 at their own pace. We use renewable energy throughout the operation and continuously work to reduce our climate impact. Our production is climate-certified according to Svenskt Sigill.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From the outset, the ambition was to produce Sweden's tastiest chicken, and many people feel we have succeeded in that.\u00a0Our chicken is loved by both conscious consumers and ambitious chefs. Some say the absolute best way to cook it is to fry it in butter with salt and pepper. TThe taste of Bj\u00e4re Chicken is rich and wonderful and the meat has a nice texture and tenderness \u2013 try it yourself!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 2017, Bj\u00e4ref\u00e5gel became the first and still only chicken producer to be climate-certified by Svenskt Sigill.
It's a certification that means we are using nature's resources in an efficient manner. We are audited by an external third party.<\/p>

In Sweden, there are rules about how many chickens you can have per square metre in the barn. We go further \u2013 we are halving the number! This means Bj\u00e4rekycklingen gets twice as much space as a standard Swedish chicken.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
