Who we are
About the farm
We have run Milchschafhof Bärenstein, an organic farm in the eastern Ore Mountains near Dresden, since 2007, and have been keeping and herd-book breeding black East Friesian milk sheep since 1999; our flock currently numbers about 40 herd-book ewes plus licensed breeding rams, on about 15 ha of herb-rich grassland. In our on-farm dairy we turn our own sheep's milk by hand into brined cheese, fresh cheese, yoghurt and mountain cheese; we slaughter our lambs ourselves and also sell lamb, salami and sausage in jars, sheepskins and wool products. Our farm shop is open from May to October on Fridays and Saturdays, and we also rent out a holiday flat for up to four people.

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.
