Who we are

About the farm

We have farmed biodynamically (Demeter) since 2003 near Bad Arolsen-Helsen in the hilly Waldeck region, as a community-owned farm; we manage grassland and arable land, keep 65 dairy cows and 50 young cattle and calves, and have grown vegetables and potatoes since 2004. In our farm shop we offer our own vegetables, potatoes and beef from our grazing cattle, and visitors can tap raw milk into their own containers. We deliver a weekly vegetable box (Grüne Kiste) to villages around Bad Arolsen, with online ordering, and sell beef and veal by pre-order.
