Who we are
About the farm
In Karben we run a family farm now in its fourth generation, and we have been developing the farmstead here since 1962. On about 118 hectares we grow winter wheat, table potatoes, sugar beet, maize and barley; we raise our pigs on our own feed and on straw for a full year and process them in our own slaughter room. In our farm shop on Fridays and Saturdays we offer fresh meat, cold cuts and homemade sausages, including the Hessian “Aale Worscht”; every Saturday you can also find us at the Konstablerwache farmers’ market in Frankfurt, and our sales bus tours the surrounding area every other week.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
