Eco-Local

THE LAND IS OUR PROVIDER

The Wendland.Elbe region is rich in two things: healthy land and creative people. It’s no wonder, then, that lots of unique and natural products are made here. And it’s also no wonder that we take special care here to preserve our resources. Look what organic can really mean if it’s not simply a marketing gimmick or an EU seal, but instead simply obvious to everyone. You can taste this conviction in each and every product. And you can see it in the Wendland region itself. Because here we don’t take as much as we can from Nature; instead, we make the most of it!
