Project support for social farming
With the "Social Farming Project Support", we are creating an advisory service for initiatives that want to set up social farming. Social farming is the combination of social work and agriculture. Whereby agriculture
can be used as a health-promoting environment on the one hand and, on the other, agriculture can also receive added value through many "helping hands". The unique thing about our idea is: interdisciplinary support for the interdisciplinary field of social farming - with skills from social work and agriculture - because this has not existed before! We want to support farms and social institutions in implementing their individual socio-ecological goals. We are convinced that this can lead to the development of particularly forward-looking operational and inclusion concepts for agriculture and society.
Saftique
In spring 2020, we, Konrad and Robert, discovered an advertisement for a mobile juice press and decided to buy it despite some uncertainties. The cider mobile and the company were financed without any funding. During his studies in Witzenhausen, Robert worked in a cider factory.
This gave us the necessary experience to start pressing dates around Witzenhausen and pressing juice in the same year. Our main service is the pressing, pasteurization and bottling of mainly local pome fruit. For more information on juicing, fruit tree care, fruit varieties and other interesting projects, please visit our website at www.saftique.de
Zigzag goat trekking
In the Zik-Zak with the goats through the Frau-Holle-Land Geo-Nature Park and the cherry country of Witzenhausen. Whether as a lovely family outing, a hike with friends or a trekking tour with the sports club - the goats provide entertainment and motivation and make the trekking tour an unforgettable experience.
Since August 2019, Lea Bergmann, a student of ecological agricultural sciences at the University of Kassel, has been offering hikes with her seven goats.
The aim is to create beautiful human-animal encounters and an understanding and access to the farm animal goat. The goats also carry a picnic. You can bring your own, or order regional organic products.
A special highlight is the sponsored intercultural goat trekking tour. They take place once a month and are advertised in several languages. People from different cultural backgrounds come together and there is a relaxed exchange during the hike.

TRIEBWERK- Planning of turnkey agroforestry systems
Modern agriculture is facing new challenges: Adapting to the consequences of climate change, contributing to the preservation of biodiversity, ensuring important ecosystem services and the sustainable production of food. The foundation of a flourishing society is a sustainable, climate-positive and economically rewarding agriculture that is also enjoyable for those who work in it. Regenerative agricultural approaches, above all agroforestry, create the conditions for mastering the aforementioned challenges. They develop economic, social and ecological resources.
TRIEBWERK stands for a holistic concept that provides technical expertise, acts as a link between relevant stakeholders, removes obstacles and creates incentives for sustainable agriculture. Further information can be found at: https://www.triebwerk-landwirtschaft.de/
