1. Farm Philosophy

In the beginning there was the environmental question: “How should agricultural look in order to fulfil the earth and humans?”

Since 1986 in Voigtholz we are trying to actualise a model-like answer to this question in practice. The aim was also to try and develop a composition out of biological organic growing, permaculture and agro-forestry. In other words to begin with a complete farm organism with integrated environmental protection, regenerative energy operation, maximum harvest and quality optimised working! Synergy effects should also be used efficiently, how to effectively bring the products to markets and the success especially in the ecological area that are introduced to the public and available media. Important are all existing communicative possibilities, constructions to be visualised on site. The offered farm tours (with snack) are especially mentioned, nothing convinces and satisfies more than “a good taste” And we wish to you good appetite! You are invited. The form for the farm tours you can find here.
