Who we are
About the farm
We farm in Bornheim-Waldorf in the Cologne-Bonn Bay: organic since 1964 and Demeter-certified since 2007, we grow around 70 vegetable and fruit varieties on 55 hectares and keep 215 laying hens. In our farm kitchen we turn our own harvest into soups, pestos, chutneys, fruit spreads and oils, and we still stamp traditional lacto-fermented sauerkraut. We sell in our farm shop and café and at 15 weekly markets around Cologne and Bonn, and we offer farm tours and sauerkraut-making workshops.

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.
