Who we are
About the farm
Our full-time mixed farm in Velbert, in the Niederbergisches Land, has been in our family since 1911; we farm 60 hectares, keep around 60 dairy cows and grow potatoes, cereals, maize, field beans and pumpkins. Our vending machine sells free-range eggs, potatoes, onions and Hokkaido squash around the clock; from Monday to Saturday, 17:30–18:00, we sell raw milk (please bring your own container), and firewood and feed grain on telephone pre-order. Since 2004 we have been a learning and experience farm: strictly by prior booking we host children's birthday parties, holiday programmes, school and kindergarten visits and pumpkin carving.

Write a review
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.
