Wulfsdorf Estate is synonymous with arable farming, animal husbandry, and vegetable cultivation. Here, the farm produces its own products: from grains to vegetables, dairy products, and wood-fired bread to artisanal butchery, all in Demeter quality.The estate is a source of high-quality Demeter-certified food in the farm shop, farm shop café, and market stalls.Wulfsdorf Estate also offers events throughout the year, as well as farm tours for kindergarten groups and school classes. Horned cattle are kept here.As a biodynamic farm, Wulfsdorf Estate is a special organism and a small world unto itself. In the midst of a modern, labor-divided society, diverse primary food production still takes place here.An agricultural workday on the farm is long and is determined by the 12-hour rhythm of milking and feeding the dairy cows, as well as by the working hours in arable farming and vegetable cultivation.On the farm, life and work are closely intertwined.Even the employees who don't live on the farm
have a close connection to their place of work. And yet, the "spirit of Wulfsdorf" exists. Everyone feels committed to the whole in their work; the togetherness is special and often a mutual support.Due to its location right on the edge of a metropolis, the farm is a meeting place for urban and rural communities. Many people visit the estate every day to shop, visit the café, or attend events and tours. The farm's rural atmosphere radiates from visitors.gutwulfsdorf.de/das-gut-wulfsdorf.html

The Vorf Wulfsdorf estate has existed since the Middle Ages. Over the centuries, one farm slowly grew stronger than the others on this site and was referred to as an estate from the 19th century onwards. The farm complex in its current form was built by the civil engineer Hermann Vering. After he bought the estate in 1904, he had old buildings demolished. New stables, residential buildings, a machine house, which also generated electricity, a blacksmith's shop, and a wheelwright's shop were subsequently built. The wheelwright makes and repairs wooden wagon wheels. Such wheels were widely used in agriculture in the past, because there were no tractors with rubber tires yet.The current House of Nature was built as a befitting manor house, and a landscaped park with an artificial lake was created. The small wall at this point is the remnant of the former entrance gate to the agricultural area of the estate.In 1922, Herrmann Vering died, and his heirs sold the estate to the city of Hamburg. The farm was used for a variety of purposes in the years that followed. For a long time, young people lived here, working under very strict conditions. At the time, it was considered sensible to treat young people who were considered "difficult to educate." This was intended to prepare them for a normal working life.Since 1989, the land has been leased to farmer Georg Lutz and is farmed biodynamically.Source: Wulfsdorfer Spaziergang

Here on the farm you can buy the products of the organic farm in their own farm shop, which has a relatively extensive range (like a small or medium-sized organic shop).You can visit the farm with students or kindergarten registered and even get guided tours.Even without a guided tour, you can look into the stables and see, for example, the calves that are being fed.For the potato harvest there is the possibility of harvesting potatoes yourself and taking them with you. You buy potatoes that you have dug out of the ground yourself and are driven to the field on a tractor with a trailer.The court parties are always nice too.There are great events for children.
