About LWG Dottenfelderhof KG
editThe LWG Dottenfelderhof KG in Bad Vilbel, Hesse, is a pioneer in biodynamic agriculture, combining tradition with innovation. The Dottenfelderhof is known for its diverse products, ranging from fresh fruits and vegetables to artisan cheeses and baked goods from the farm's own wood-fired bakery. The extensive organic full range is complemented by products from other Demeter farms and the natural food wholesale trade to ensure a wide selection of foods from recognized organic cultivation.
The mission of the Dottenfelderhof is to promote sustainable agriculture and to keep the value chain of agricultural products in its own hands. This is reflected in the marketing of products that not only come from its own cultivation but also from other farms with less favorable sales opportunities. The farm places great importance on quality and sustainability, which is evident in the artisanal processing and the use of high-quality ingredients.
A central component of the corporate philosophy is research and breeding. The Dottenfelderhof is intensively involved in ecological plant breeding and works on projects to improve plant health and develop new varieties of grains and vegetables. The research aims to link plant science with biodynamic practice and develop innovative solutions for the challenges of organic agriculture. Collaborations with renowned institutions and participation in international projects such as CROPDIVA underscore the farm's commitment to promoting agrobiodiversity.
Sustainability is a core value of the Dottenfelderhof. The farm relies on biodynamic cultivation methods and promotes the preservation of biological diversity. The Dottenfelder Foundation secures the land for research, breeding, and education in the long term to further develop ecological agriculture. Additionally, the farm is a founding member of the umbrella organization for ecological plant breeding in Germany, highlighting its leading role in sustainable agriculture.
The Dottenfelderhof not only offers high-quality products but also a unique experience for visitors. The farm café serves dishes made from farm-owned and regional ingredients, and regular art exhibitions enrich the cultural offerings. The agricultural school on the farm offers training and internships to promote the next generation of farmers and researchers.
Overall, the LWG Dottenfelderhof KG stands for a future-oriented agriculture that combines tradition and innovation to produce sustainable and high-quality products.
