We are a progressive family business, practicing regenerative agriculture. We strive for the greatest possible biodiversity on our land, and aim to achieve this by imitating nature as closely as possible.

One major problem with growing cereals and pulses is that they are often planted as monocultures, requiring a large amount of processing and weed control. As an alternative, we rely heavily on polycultures, using this approach to mimic the biodiversity of the natural prairie. We grow different crops together that will not only strengthen and complement each other, but help the land remain free of weeds and improve the condition of the soil.

Additional fertilisation, crop rotation or soil treatments are not necessary when soil life can flourish. In addition, where traditional farming relies on insecticides or herbicides for pest and weed control, we use homeopathy, micro-organisms and biodynamic techniques to bring natural systems into balance.

For us this is not a job but a way of life, born out of the idea of being self-sufficient for ourselves as well as for the immediate environment.
