PRODUCTION IS AT THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS

Production has always been at the heart of our business. In the beginning, we grew fruits and vegetables on 1.5 hectares of land. This has now grown to cover 4,000 hectares of outdoor vegetables, 600 hectares of which are organically farmed. Our cultivation areas are located in Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Hesse in Germany, and in Spain.

OUTDOOR VEGETABLES. ALL YEAR ROUND.

We mainly grow our vegetables outdoors, in natural soil and using energy from the sun. Our vegetables grow in Germany in the summer months and in Spain in the winter. After all, for many crops, winter cultivation in Germany would only be possible in a greenhouase or using hydroponic systems with artificial lighting. We opted for outdoor cultivation and go where the sun shines, providing its vital light and warmth, and where the plant grows in natural soil. Our mission is to supply consumers with outdoor vegetables in both summer and winter.

ORGANIC OR CONVENTIONAL?
WE DO BOTH.

OUR ORGANIC CULTIVATION

We have been growing organic vegetables since 1998. In addition to cultivation practices which keep the soil healthy and promote biodiversity, natural conditions and expansive areas of land with well-balanced soils are important for the organic cultivation of vegetables in particular. In organic cultivation, the options for plant protection and fertilisation are limited to organic products, so wide crop rotations and regular changes in land are essential to keep the soil healthy and thus be able to harvest high-quality organic vegetables.

OUR CONVENTIONAL, CONTROLLED INTEGRATED CULTIVATION

We grow our conventional vegetables in accordance with the principles of controlled integrated cultivation. This is a conventional cultivation method in which many measures from organic cultivation are integrated, such as the use of beneficial organisms and the covering of fields with crop protection nets against pests. Legal requirements for crop protection are the minimum standard for us. We voluntarily supplement our crop protection measures with beneficial insects and nets to incorporate natural and targeted approaches.

FRESHLY HARVESTED FOR YOU

The field is our warehouse, because nowhere else does a plant stay fresher than in the field. We harvest our crisp and fresh vegetables by hand and just-in-time. They are packed directly in the field, labelled, placed in boxes and delivered. This is how our vegetables reach you freshly harvested.
