About Öjebyn Agro Park

The Agricultural Society's trial farm and its staff at Öjebyn Agro Park are unique with their knowledge and experience in field trials with agricultural crops such as forage and cereals, berries, and vegetables. Öjebyn Agro Park is one of four trial sites north of the Dalälven River and the only one north of Umeå for variety testing of forage and cereal crops adapted to our northern climate. Öjebyn Agro Park is also the only trial farm in Norrland where we test fruit, berry, and vegetable varieties that can withstand our special conditions. We are currently engaged in an exciting effort to develop the trial farm into the green knowledge hub in the north.
