Keltenhof Bimi wilder Brokkoli

Keltenhof operates consistently sustainable agriculture. This includes gentle methods for cultivating and harvesting products. Emphasis is placed on sustainable and environmentally conscious fertilization to increase the soil's storage capacity. To ensure plant health, natural substances such as plant extracts, rock flours, and effective microorganisms are used. Additionally, preventive biological (beneficial insects) or biotechnological (nets) measures are employed.

Heat recovery from cold storage rooms and solar panels on more than 3,000 m2 of roof area has enabled sustainable energy management for several years. Wash water from production is filtered into a specially created pond and used for irrigating the fields. Hedge and shrub plantings, as well as flower strips in the fields, provide much-needed habitats for insects, birds, and small mammals. Green products are presented in environmentally friendly packaging.

Packaging is also regularly critically reviewed, and after a long search, a sustainable packaging solution for salad bowls was found. Thanks to the new sturdy outer layer made of FSC-certified cardboard, the inner lining (80% recycled PET), which is necessary for food safety, can be reduced to a minimum. Both are glued in such a way that the components can be easily separated for disposal, thus remaining in the recycling loop. This is therefore not greenwashing, but actually a clear reduction of the materials required and, where possible, the use of renewable raw materials.
