Stefan Jansson and Daniel Axelsson stated this when they decided to leave Stockholm, acquire a farm in the country and started planning for the future.

- We contacted several different associations and realized that there are animals that could partly give us the products or services we wanted that are simultaneously endangered, says Daniel Axelsson. So then we chose such landraces that now also function as gene banks.

- The characteristic of country breeds is that they are not specialized as animals are today - they do not give lots of eggs or lots of meat but a little of each, explains Stefan Jansson. And the work with the gene banks also means that we get support from the Swedish Agricultural Agency at the same time as we get meat, milk, skins and can sell live animals to others.
