All year round, farmers in Germany grow a broad array of fresh products. Shoppers are able to support producers in their region by buying delicious, locally grown fruit and vegetables of the season.

The website www.deutsches-obst-und-gemuese.de (in German only) is the main information portal about fruit and vegetables from German farms. It was developed as part of a campaign called ‘Germany – My garden’ (Deutschland – Mein Garten), which was initiated by BVEO, the German association of fruit and vegetable producers. Our involvement in the campaign is through the producers’ organisation Mecklenburger Ernte.

This website offers many useful tips for customers regarding the purchase and storage of home-grown fruit and vegetable specialities. A glossary provides extensive background information about various types of apples, plums, lettuce and pretty much every thing else, while a database of recipes offers connoisseurs a variety of sophisticated culinary ideas. A seasonal calendar completes the online experience.

The new website www.deutsches-obst-und-gemuese.de helps consumers to buy the right products and provides regular information to those interested in the latest developments in the fruit and vegetables market.
