We get up every morning because we believe in healthy, regional and seasonal products. Our food is above all for you. Trust, responsibility, community, an eye for the future, inventiveness and, above all, love for the product: We believe that all of these belong together in order to be able to provide people with better care and be in harmony with the environment. We are therefore guided by clear values ​​and have been doing well for years.

We've been doing what we're doing for a while. Our farm in Holtensen has been in our family for five generations. Cornelia, Christoph, Ruben and Johannes are currently looking after the business: Growing up among strawberries and beets, we feel firmly rooted in the land and its people. Our agriculture is therefore more than field work. For us it means that we pass on valuable things to others.

Valuable – that can be an excellent product or a nice experience, but it also means offering good and fairly paid work to over 250 seasonal helpers: from permanent agricultural staff to office staff to management. We are grateful for the collaboration with all of these people because they make us what we are – a real family business.

For us, culture never means “mono”. Quite the opposite - we are committed to a healthy mix: In addition to strawberries , potatoes and our vegetables, we also grow wheat, corn and sugar beets. And of course alternately.

With our crop rotation we reduce pest infestation and preserve the nutrients in the soil. It also preserves biodiversity. For us, this is a contribution that we want to make – for generations of today, tomorrow and the day after.

The grain harvest begins in mid-July. When the dew on the grain has dried during the day, it is time to harvest. The ears of grain are systematically mown, threshed and checked for quality until late at night. The grains are transported in a trailer by tractor to the farm, where they are stored for some time. When the harvest season ends in late August, the storage facilities are well filled again.

A healthy crop rotation not only preserves the land. As farmers, it is important for us to be prepared for unforeseeable events - such as losses in crops and varieties. In addition to the other products, sugar beet in particular is part of our “third pillar”. We sell the sweet beet to the local sugar factory and thus also provide for the future.
