The tour took 2 hours and we were lucky it didn't rain.
My impression? I wasn't expecting some of the things I saw there...
To start, this is Hügelheim with view from the farm that is situated in a really nice area with no traffic, quite idealic.

This is the shop where they sell transplants...

and now comes something I didn't expect to find on a Demeter Farm....grafted Eggplants!! apparently on a Tomato. I was rather shocked...

Tomato the same...all grafted on a different rootstock, at least they were being polinated with bumble bees, which were prone to escaping the greenhouse.

It was a nice tour but I liked the one I visited in the black forrest better, because it was more Demeter and less high-tech. This one gave the feeling of a conventional greenhouse production, which is not what I expected.
