Backensholzer Hof in Oster-Ohrstedt

The Backensholzer Hof is located in the middle of the North Frisian countryside and is now run by the 4th generation. The organic farm stands for modern and ecological agriculture that respects animals and nature. This can be seen, among other things, in the innovative animal welfare barn, which was developed in collaboration with Kiel University of Applied Sciences. The farm has been producing cheese for more than 30 years - exclusively with the farm's own cow's milk. The milk is treated as little as necessary to make the cheese particularly aromatic. The many different types of cheese are of course the focus of the farm store, which also sells home-baked sourdough bread, pasture eggs and other regional delicacies. And what makes the Backensholzer Hof even more special is that the farm has been operating its own biogas plant since the early 2000s and now not only supplies the entire facility with energy, but also around 2,000 households in the surrounding area. The farm also has its own kindergarten - here, four full-time teachers look after a total of 18 children, who experience everyday life on the farm first-hand and learn about topics such as sustainability, circular economy and animal welfare through play.

Region: North Friesland
Assortment: Cheese in any form, meat from Backensholzer dairy cows, pasture-raised eggs, chutneys, bread, organic wines and spirits, specialties from neighboring organic farms, kitchen supplies
Special features: Cheese made exclusively from the farm's own milk, farm tours (Mondays to Fridays, min. 10 people), electricity supplier, farm kindergarten
