Who we are
About the farm
Our family farm on the southern edge of Egelsbach in the Rhine-Main area has been running for more than 40 years; on about 80 hectares we grow grain, vegetables and fruit organically, certified by Bioland, and we keep a suckler cattle herd, laying hens in a mobile henhouse, horses, sheep and bees. Our own eggs, potatoes, onions, apple juice and jam are available every day around the clock from our vending machine, and on Fridays from 2 to 6 pm an extended self-service area also offers our own vegetables and fruit; beef and boiling hens are sold to order. We also run a community-supported agriculture scheme (SoLawi), a farm learning centre and an annual farm festival.

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.
