Description
Welcome in Bavaria! We are a family living in the south of germany, in a little village called Wiggensbach. We are about 1000m above sea level and have a 1ha-apple-garden where we plant rarely aplle varieties and herbs. In sumary we planted over 30 old typs of apple, many of them threatened with extinction.

The focus is on unadulterated pure natural quality. We don't use any spraying and fertilizers. The fruits get harvested by hand and traditionally stored.

With our work we are maintaining biodiversity and show to people like you, how good nature products can be and how healthy they are if they don't get industrial contaminated. Nature offers us a lot! If we meet nature with respect and knowledge we can force a symbiotic coexistence.
