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. LOCAL GRAIN CULTIVATION 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. VEGETABLES FROM THE REGION The vegetable harvest takes place from May to November. Various types of lettuce, zucchini and cabbage grow in the surrounding fields. The helpers harvest the vegetables individually before they go on the conveyor belt for further processing. After cleaning and quality testing, the harvest is delivered to the wholesaler, from where it finds its way to stores. Once the fields are free again, there is room for the new seedlings. 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. 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. Article Built by : Getreide anbau | |
