Bauernhof Oderaue GbR

Ulrich and Jennifer Vössing, who received their B.Sc. degrees from the HNE Eberswalde (FH), in "organic farming & marketing," have been residing in Oderbruch since 2013, and in July 2015, they established the "Bauernhof Oderaue" as a GbR.

The small, traditional farm's life and work are based on an old four-sided farm that was saved from a major flood in the 1940s and 18 hectares of land next to it with mostly loamy soil.

When it comes to animal husbandry and organic farming, the two focus on raising poultry (chickens and geese) and outdoor vegetables (beets, cabbage, potatoes, etc.).

The claim that one does not specialize in specific animal life stages but rather the entire life cycle, from conception to slaughter, is remarkable. This doesn't mean you can't buy breeding animals, but it does require persistence. Brood tomatoes, laying hens, and brother cocks from outside organic stables, in addition to natural brood, are used to maintain profitability.

The best fertilizer that can be used for vegetable and field cultivation is the resulting manure.

The variety of meat is enhanced by a small flock of sheep, and the agricultural machinery is enhanced by four cold-blooded horses. Ulrich Vössing chose to work as a farmer because of his love of horses. Because of this passion, it is possible to work the soil gently while also saving fuel.
