Who we are
About the farm
We farm in Salzkotten-Scharmede, 7 km from Paderborn; in 2000 we revived the family farm as an organic farm with direct marketing, and today we manage 96 hectares (70 ha grassland, 14 ha arable, 4 ha orchard meadows, 4 ha forest). We sell the meat of our year-round grazing suckler herd, along with beef ham and beef sausages, in our own farm shop; apples from our orchard meadows become juice and fruit spreads. Our farm shop has a café, every October we hold an apple festival, the farm is an out-of-school learning site, and a community-supported agriculture (CSA) vegetable garden runs on the farm.

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.
