Who we are
About the farm
We have farmed the Dottenfelderhof, in a bend of the river Nidda in Bad Vilbel on the northern edge of Frankfurt, biodynamically (Demeter) as a farm community of several families since 1968. We process the milk of our 80 dairy cows in our own cheese dairy, bake bread from our grain in a wood-fired oven, grow more than 50 vegetable crops, fruit and cut flowers, and keep hens and pigs. Our farm shop is open Monday to Saturday with a full organic range alongside our own products; we also have a farm café, market stalls in Frankfurt and a pick-your-own flower field, and we offer farm tours, courses and children's programmes.

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.
