VISIT THE ROKKEDYSSE BERRY FARM
Owned by Lisbeth and Torben Bo Toft Christensen, Rokkedysse Berry Farms is a family business dedicated to growing Nordic berries. For many years, Rokkedysse has supplied top Copenhagen and North Zealand restaurants with tasty berries.
We aim to grow the best berries in the world and to invite our guests to enjoy the berries and visit our places.
Throughout the season we pick strawberries, raspberries and blackberries every morning and present the beautiful berries in our farm shops. Feel free to come by and pick up fresh berries. You will also find a Strawberry Café where we serve berry ice-creams freshly made on the farm. Berry cakes, coffee and sunny places to relax.

GUNDEKILDEGAARD
Open every day from June until August. Visit Gundekildegaard – an old traditional Danish Farm located at Vejby Strand close to the beaches at the north coast of Zealand. Buy our fresh strawberries, raspberries, new potatoes and other vegetables.
Enjoy a strawberry ice-creame homemade by our own Rokkedysse berries. Enjoy a smoothie, milkshake or a cup of coffee and a berry cake in the Strawberry Café.
Some years ago the Lonely Planet Magazine visited Gundekildegaard, and they made this lovely story about the farm:
You can travel well through North Zealand this way, tasting the terroir as you move from farm to farm, artisan to artisan. On the way you´ll find squat brick abbeys and soaring palaces, bobbing wooden boats on windblown lakes and always, always, that rolling farmland, busy bringing something delicious to eat. Not far from Tisvilde, a holiday town beloved for the wild roses that carpet its craggy shores and the wooden bathhouses that dot its beaches, Lisbeth and Torben Bo Toft Christensen grow candy-sweet berries on their farm, Rokkedysse (Gundekildegaard).
They got their first strawberry plants – all 20.000 of them – as a wedding gift years ago, and have spent the intervening time experimenting with different varieties, tinkering with their largely organic growing methods, and opening a café to showcase everything from therir nearly floral strawberry ice cream to crumbly raspberry muffins that pop with juicy fruit. “We even do berry tastings” Torben Says “so that people can learn to appreciate the size, colour and aroma of our different varieties”
How to get there? Coming from Copenhagen it is a nice day-trip by car to visit the Northern Zealand. If you are in the Region the Gundekildegaard is located along the coast road taking you from Gilleleje to Rågeleje and further to Tisvildeleje. The address is Rågelejevej 46, 3210 Vejby.
TORVEHALLERNE KØBENHAVN
Open every day from June until August. Visit the Rokkedysse Berry Stand at Torvehallerne in the center of Copenhagen. The atmosphere in Torvehallerne in Copenhagen is completely unique. The cosy market atmosphere hits us every time we come in with fresh berries to our booth. There is something very special about getting up early in the morning, going straight out into the strawberry field and then directly into the big city to the small oasis in Torvehallerne. On a summer day in Torvehallerne, there is the same dewy morning atmosphere as there is in the strawberry field. We love this atmosphere and we have been with it every summer since Torvehallerne opened in 2011.
We are always ready for a chat about berries and a free tasting. You will be amazed at how fantastic a nice, Danish, freshly picked strawberry can taste, and how much difference there is between the different varieties. The address is Frederiksborggade 21, 1360 København K.
ROKKEDYSSE BÆR
Vi arbejder for, at de friskplukkede bær kommer på tallerkenen samme dag, som de plukkes. Dette gælder både hos vores gæster, kunder og i restauranter i Nordsjælland og København. Vi dyrker sorter, som smager ualmindeligt godt, og vi plukker bærerne, når de smager allerbedst. Vi passer på planterne og miljøet og bruger så vidt muligt mekaniske og biologiske dyrkningsmetoder.
Rokkedysse ® er vores varemærke og din garanti for bær med smag.
Velbekomme,
Lisbeth og Torben Bo Toft Christensen
