Organic nursery Watzkendorf
● Blankensee
Vegetables have been grown in the small village of Watzkendorf between the Müritz National Park and the Feldberger Seenlandschaft Nature Park since 1961.
We produce a wide range of vegetable crops in the main season from June to October.
In the years following German reunification, the vegetable farm developed into an organic market garden and became a member of the Bioland association in 1996. At that time, we cultivated 7 hectares of open land and 6 foil tunnels as well as the centerpiece - a 1,200 m² heatable greenhouse.
Today we grow on approx. 21 hectares of open land, in 6,300 m² of greenhouses, 5,100 m² of foil tunnels and 4,500 m² of foil houses.
We extend our season by growing in foil tunnels and greenhouses. In order to be able to supply the market continuously, we grow many crops in sets. For example, 24 sets of lettuce are planted. This means sowing and planting every week from February to August in order to be able to harvest lettuce from April to October.
We also grow whatever we can get into the ground:
various cabbage vegetables
leafy vegetables
root vegetables
onion plants and
fruit vegetables.
You can find the availability of individual vegetables in our seasonal calendar at biogaertnerei-watzkendorf.de.
Or simply drop by: we are happy to sell from our cold stores to customers who visit us on the farm. Our young plants can also be purchased directly from the greenhouse.
