Who we are
About the farm
We farm Hof Sackern, first recorded in 1343, among the wooded hills of Wetter (Ruhr) south of the river Ruhr; since 1984 we have managed our roughly 57 hectares biodynamically (Demeter). We grow cereals, potatoes, vegetables and clover grass, and keep 12 horned dairy cows, goats, pigs, around 300 hens and bees; in our own dairy we turn the milk into cheese, yoghurt and quark, and we bake bread from our grain. We sell our produce in our farm shop, our small café and through a home-delivered subscription box, and on the first Saturday of every month we invite you on a farm and field walk.

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.
