About 300 chickens enjoy rotational grazing in four large fields, which are managed with biodynamic and permaculture principles. These forage fields are planted up specifically for their culinary and medicinal needs.

We started out as a crafts workshop, and have now incorporated arts for those whose talents are better suited to it. We strive to see to every resident’s needs and capabilities, and also continually expose them to new skills to somewhat broaden their horizons.

28 Hectares of our farm are dedicated to pasture for our jersey and brown swiss herd, which are managed on organic and biodynamic principles. This means that our cows have a very happy and natural life as part of a sustainable farming ecosystem.

We grow both culinary and medicinal herbs - altogether 49 different species. All our herbs are harvested and processed by hand, and then dried naturally in our workshop. We make our own compost for the garden from discarded plant material and never use poison or insecticide.
