Agri­cul­ture

Our ani­mal farm­ing at pro­duc­tion level cea­sed in the late nine­ties, but we still have some on the farm as always. Our hor­ses and rab­bits are around here all year, and in the sum­mer­time some sheep and cat­tle also pas­ture on our fields or yards. And of cour­se there’s the reg­u­lar cat and dog of the house.

Farms have always tra­di­tio­nal­ly had good vege­table gar­dens and the Kat­te­lus farm is no excep­tion. In the ear­ly 2020s, the farm also comple­ted a fair-sized green­house, whe­re toma­toes, cucum­bers, auber­gi­nes and the more exo­tic peac­hes and gra­pes are grown. Visi­tors have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to get their hands in the soil and help with the gar­de­ning if they are so incli­ned! In return, you can get fresh­ly pic­ked pota­toes and a bunch of dill, for example. Or fresh rasp­ber­ries in rasp­ber­ry sea­son and red-chee­ked apples in autumn.

The gar­den and its care are impor­tant issues on the Kat­te­lus farm anyway. Par­ticu­lar atten­tion is paid to the bio­di­ver­si­ty of the gar­den by mana­ging it accor­ding to the principles of cont­rol­led no-til­la­ge. The farm par­tici­pa­tes in the annual Open Gar­dens event, whe­re the green­house and the sur­roun­ding gar­den can be visi­ted by any­one interested.
