Who we are
About the farm
Above Weilmünster-Ernsthausen in the Taunus, we run a biodynamic Demeter farm with two generations and our staff on 250 hectares (115 ha grassland, 135 ha arable), growing spelt, rye, wheat, oats, barley, clover grass, beans, lupins and potatoes. We keep about 60 cows and their offspring on pasture with a milking robot, and up to 40 fattening pigs in straw pens with outdoor runs. In our farm shop we sell our own potatoes, grain, beef, pork and sausages alongside a full organic range, and our farm café serves coffee, cake and breakfast on pre-order; we also offer horse livery and farm-classroom programmes.

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.
