We focus on variety, freshness and quality. The sowing, planting, care, harvesting and preparation of the vegetables are carried out by 6 employees all year round. In particularly labour-intensive times, up to 16 seasonal workers from the region support us. The Brodowin nursery is one of the largest Demeter nurseries in Germany with 30 hectares of open field cultivation and a 2,000 sqm greenhouse area.
In organic farming, we do not use chemical pesticides. The workload in the Brodowin nursery is much higher than in conventional agriculture – a lot of manual work is necessary! Weed control is carried out by refined hacking techniques. In addition, we also use equipment specially developed for organic farming, such as the flame device. The fields are cleared of weeds by flaming before the sowing starts.
In addition to cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce, insects are also welcome in our greenhouse. The bumblebee colonies living in our greenhouse help pollinate the plants. Other insects, such as ladybirds and parasitic wasps, are sited to keep the plants free of pests. In this way, we can dispense with the use of poisonous pesticides and offer you more than 20 different seasonal vegetables from our fields and greenhouse. Our Brodowiner Ökokorb delivery service is a particularly convenient and freshly harvested way to get our vegetables.
