The operation of the farm with its agriculture and its many social projects has been managed by the Elisabethstift Berlin since 2014. Unfortunately, the approximately 100 animals had to be relocated to other farms in the summer of 2020, as the financial means and donations could not cover the personnel costs for enough animal keepers. Since spring 2021 there has been a new concept based on the basic idea of creating a place together with the people in the neighborhood. From now on, new animal residents of the farm will be kept by volunteer families from the area. A place should be created that is designed to meet the needs of its visitors and employees. In the farm school, for example, there are a wide range of offers for school classes and companies, ranging from processing milk and baking bread in a clay oven to making sheep's wool. At the same time, since 2021 there has been a wealth of nature and wilderness education offers, which are accompanied by Wildwärts, among others.
