Who we are

About the farm

We run a small dairy farm between Ratingen and Homberg at the foot of the Bergisches Land, in the third generation. Our cows graze on the pastures next to the farm from spring to late autumn and are fed our own grass and maize silage; you can tap their raw milk yourself at our milk vending machine. In our farm shop we offer our own wholemeal bread and baguette, homemade fruit spreads and jellies and, in autumn, our own walnuts, pumpkins and apples from our meadow orchard, complemented by regional products; we also rent out guest rooms in our renovated farmhouse.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

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.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
