Domäne Fredeburg / Arne von Schulz
The community at Domäne Fredeburg has been farming and gardening on a biodynamic basis for over 30 years. Located by Lake Ratzeburg, east of Hamburg, the farm is home to Arne von Schulz, who devotes himself to vegetable cultivation, seed production, and the organic breeding of new varieties.


Gartenbau Walsegarten
At the Walsegarten farm, Sebastian Vornhecke propagates seeds based on biodynamic principles. The farm is located in Dietzenrode, at the western edge of Thuringia near the Werratal, approximately 30 km south of Göttingen. The surrounding landscape is shaped by the forested ridges of the Hainich.
