Who we are
About the farm
We farm in Weeze on the Lower Rhine; the farm has been organic since 1984 and has followed Demeter guidelines since 2011, today on about 58 hectares, run by Simone Schmitz since 2023. We keep 20 Limousin suckler cows, 1,100 hens in five mobile houses and a small flock of Coburger Fuchsschaf sheep, grow potatoes, bread grain and around 80 vegetable crops, and press juice from the apples of our orchard. In our farm shop and online shop we offer more than 2,500 organic products besides our own, and we have delivered weekly to customers' homes since 1998; during opening hours visitors can walk freely around the fields, pastures and animals.

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.
