Erlebnisbauernhof Gertrudenhof GmbH

Why and how we commit ourselves

Our Commitment to Biodiversity
we, the Gertrudenhof, value the protection of biological diversity as an essential part of our work and our reputation. Nature is not only the basis of our existence, but also a central aspect of our educational mission and business model. Located on the outskirts of three major cities, we reach a diverse audience and offer nature to be felt, seen, tasted, smelled, and heard by both, young and old. We bring biodiversity and the interaction of species back to life!

Active Promotion of Biodiversity
Directly on our premises, we implement a variety of measures to enrich biodiversity. These include wildflower meadows (which can be sponsored), deadwood hedges, biotopes, wild bird feeding stations, traditional orchards, and insect hotels. We also follow diverse crop rotations to ensure our cultivated soils remain fertile over the long term.
In retail, we focus on direct marketing of regional products from our own fields or from partner farms in the area that share our values. In our gastronomy, we offer a seasonal, environmentally friendly food and beverage selection featuring carefully chosen sustainable products – both in the food and non-food sectors.

Awareness & Education
Through a wide range of educational programs, we convey knowledge and awareness of the importance of biodiversity. Whether in pre-school and school programs, sustainable team events, or digital information campaigns – our goal is to inspire people of all ages to protect nature and to present them with concrete actions they can take in their everyday lives.

Networking & Raising Awareness
Our commitment goes beyond sharing knowledge: we create sustainable structures through networking events with experts from business and politics. We also raise awareness through expert lectures and ambassador presentations – both within professional circles and among interested individuals outside the “field.”

By becoming a member of Biodiversity in Good Company, we aim to further expand our commitment, connect with other companies, and jointly develop effective new measures to preserve biodiversity.
