Melanie Seeber and her boyfriend Markus Reisle have been working on the Gerbachhof in Bolanden for three years. Soon they will take over the organic farm from Uli Zerger and Eva Mundkowski. After graduating from high school, Melanie discovered her love of agriculture on a farm in New Zealand. While studying agricultural sciences in Hohenheim, she met Markus. Both decided to look for a farm to live their dream. Melanie and Markus are redesigning the arable farm and making it fit for the future. Melanie takes care of the animals, while Markus focuses on arable farming. On 75 hectares, they grow spelt, oats, wheat, rye and millet, as well as sweet lupins, chickpeas and dried beans. In addition to a small flock of sheep and goats, there are two mobile barns with 450 laying hens, a farm store and many other ideas. (Text: SWR)
