In a village amid a beautiful hilly landscape lies the Kastanienhof, an old, four-sided half-timbered farm, which today belongs to the non-profit association Lebens und Agrarkulturelle Initiative e.V.. Its goals are ecological agriculture to preserve old crops and endangered farm animals, renewable energies, historical-biological building, and communal living. A multigenerational house is also being built.
The Kastanienhof also offers kindergarten groups, school classes, students, and other groups the possibility to get to know ecological agriculture in a very practical way or to deal with it more deeply in seminars, e.g. on ecological agriculture and gardening, ecological seeds, half-timbered restoration or regenerative heating systems.
