Class description
More and more people are moving to cities and urban areas are becoming increasingly scarce. At the same time, the demand for fresh food is increasing and many roof and brownfields in large cities are unused. In 2021 alone, just under 90,000,000 m² of flat roof areas were built in Germany and 1,500,000,000 m² of inner-city fallow land was unused. We want to use this huge potential for growing vegetables to bring food production back to where it is eaten.
With our urban vegetable farm at Kontor in Erfurt, we made our first urban area green and edible at the beginning of 2022. On approx. 1,500 m², we grow vegetables, herbs, etc. on an old track system, which we sell to Erfurters as vegetable subscriptions.
What does the tour offer?
Get to know Erfurt's first city farm on the premises of the office in Erfurt.
From March to November, there is a guided tour of the city vegetable farm every first Sunday of the month, during which we give you an insight into our work.
There is lots of interesting information about rare vegetables and sustainable farming methods. You can ask your burning gardener questions and snack on a few vegetables fresh from the bed.
