demeter farming at Clostermann

We view our fruit orchard as a living organism. Hence, we employ special compounds such as medicinal herbs (e.g. Valerian), minerals and cow dung in a specific manner.

Applied in small dosages, it’s not the amount used that makes them effective, but the fine matter information much like homeopathy.

This nourishes the fertility of the soil and enriches the flavour, the taste and the colour of our fruit.
Plants are dependent on cosmic rhythms such as the position of the sun and the phases of the moon and we take this into consideration when we apply our compounds.

All fertilisation is done organically and via composting. We improve the eco-system by planting sections of wild herbs and roses all the while enhancing the overall aesthetics of our orchard. At the same time, this makes us privy to experiencing the wonderful interaction between human and nature.
