Our Kale is a high-quality vegetable produced with a passion for organic farming according to Bioland standards.

Our farmer is aware of the importance of sustainability, soil conditioning and natural resource protection to produce the highest quality fresh produce.

Crop rotation is an important requirement for successful organic cultivation. It’s about plant protection, plant nutrition and weed control. Our farmer uses the following crop rotation:

Year 1: Clover / flowering fields
Year 2: Clover / flowering fields
Year 3: Brassicas
Year 4: Grain Year 5: Carrots
Year 6: Peas / Kale
In the seventh year the cycle starts again.

Production is according to the directives of the Bioland Association and fulfil the GOBALG.A.P.-Standard.

Healthy soil encourages plant growth. A healthy soil is the basis of organic agriculture. Therefore, our farmer’s concern is to improve the soil conditions, for example by increasing the humus content and supporting soil organisms. An important contribution to the stabilization of the humus content is the widespread cultivation of clover and flowering fields. In addition, flowering strips in the transport lanes and on headland turns loosen up the prevailing cultivation of carrots and offers bees and other insects’ food and shelter. Also, versatile, changing crop rotations support soil life and discourage weed growth.

Weed control: a special characteristic of the organic cultivation is the mechanical and/or manual weed control. No agri-chemical plant protection is used and can offer you 100% natural vegetables. Furthermore, the environment is protected while maintaining high quality and productivity. This is done without using synthetic fertilisers andagri-chemical plant protection. Instead, only organic fertilisers moderately are used and only if necessary.

Protection of Groundwater & Biodiversity: Groundwater is protected and soil pollution is avoided. Organic cultivation protects the climate from the energy-intensive production of industrial fertilizers and pesticides. Not using industrial fertilizers means that energy consumption is reduced. Naturally, we exclude the use of any genetic modification in the products that we use. A primary goal of organic agriculture is to preserve and increase the agricultural biodiversity – to keep the biodiversity along with its natural resources on a high level.
