from Amelie Corves

Camp where the asparagus grows! In our camps and cabins with farm stores, you will not only be surrounded by fields and orchards, but you will also find the freshest spring vegetables.

Fahrbarer Hofladen: aus einer Schublade heraus wird regionales Gemüse verkauft

Blossoming apple trees, crunchy lettuce in the fields and crisp green wild garlic at the edge of the forest - you might just work up an appetite at the sight... This is exactly what awaits you at our camps and cabins with farm stores! Camp where food is grown: on windfall orchards, between vines, at the edge of a field or next to the beds of a permaculture. Browse through the colorful, often lovingly prepared farm stores of your hosts and look forward to regional and seasonal products that can go straight from the patch to your barbecue or in the pot on the camping stove. It couldn't be fresher!

Why are regional and seasonal foods actually so good?

As well as having the very best taste, buying regional and seasonal food from the farm store also has a positive effect on the climate and regional agriculture compared to buying items that have been flown in. Farmers can save on taxes at intermediate stages in the distribution channel and the environment is spared long transportation routes and thus high CO₂ emissions. Here are two examples of the CO₂ emissions of regional and seasonal products compared to off-season and off-region products: 

  • Lettuce only grows in heated greenhouses in winter and therefore causes up to 5x more CO₂ than regional lettuce in summer. 
  • Strawberries are imported from warmer countries in winter. If they come by plane from Egypt, for example, they cause up to 60 times more CO₂ than strawberries from the region in summer. 

Fruit and vegetables from the farm store are therefore not only delicious, but also more environmentally friendly. What's more, you are directly supporting your friendly hosts!
