Bioland Lammertzhof, run by Petra Graute-Hannen and Heinrich Hannen, is a prime example of sustainable and responsible agriculture in the Lower Rhine region of Kaarst, near the cities of Neuss and Düsseldorf. Since 1989, the Hannens have been working according to the strict guidelines of the Bioland Association to ensure responsible treatment of people, nature, animals, and plants.
On the approximately 45 hectares of agricultural land of Lammertzhof, a variety of products are cultivated and bred. These include:
The products are sold in the spacious farm market, through the Ökokiste (a vegetable subscription), and to organic colleagues with a similar operational structure.
The owners of Lammertzhof are committed to implementing their values of sustainability and responsible environmental management in their daily work. This includes refraining from chemicals, genetic engineering, and ionizing radiation, as well as using natural cultivation systems based on the balance between harmful and beneficial insects. The Hannens place great importance on maintaining the ecological balance in the soil, groundwater, and landscape[1][2][4].
Lammertzhof is a pioneer in sustainable agriculture and is involved in numerous initiatives:
Lammertzhof has a long history dating back to 1864 when Wilhelm Lammertz acquired the farm. Over the years, the farm has been restructured several times and was last relocated to its current address in 1975. Since the 1990s, the farm has specialized in marketing organic products through the vegetable subscription and is now one of the leading organic farms in the region[1].
