Who we are
About the farm
In Altenberge we farm more than 40 hectares biodynamically with Demeter certification; two thirds is grassland, around ten hectares arable land and three hectares woodland. In the open field and in polytunnels we grow over 50 vegetable crops a year, keep about 100 ewes whose milk we turn into cheese and yoghurt in our own dairy, bake bread in our own bakery and work the fields with five draught horses. We offer our produce through community-supported agriculture (Solawi) shares, in our farm shop on Fridays and Saturdays and at the markets in Münster and Steinfurt; we also run farm tours for groups.

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.
