Demeter animal husbandry
Situated right next to the biosphere reserve, you will find our BIO HOTEL Lindengut nestled amidst a picturesque hilly landscape.
A sustainable economy is a matter close to our hearts. After all, it is up to all of us to contribute to making the world liveable for future generations and to avert the threat posed by climate change.
That is why we want to set a good example and operate our sustainable hotel in Germany with a holistic focus. This of course also includes pursuing a future-oriented method of agriculture. 100% certified organic, of course. But we at LindenGut go one step further and manage our farm according to strict Demeter guidelines.
This makes the animal residents feel at home at LindenGut. We would be happy to tell you more about it!
In the so-called biodynamic Demeter animal husbandry, the welfare of the animals is always at the core. These should be able to behave and live according to their nature. The animals have plenty of opportunities to do this with us at LindenGut.
Demeter agriculture is organized as an organism of higher order, which is supposed to have a healing effect on both humans and the Earth. The interaction between animals and plants is particularly important. A constant improvement process ensures that the closed agricultural business organism continues to develop. Respect for the animals, species-appropriate feed and sufficient exercise are just a few of the aspects that need to be taken into account when it comes to Demeter animal husbandry. How the animals are kept is the central question.
What would LindenGut be without its animals? Not only do they have a significant influence on the atmosphere on our farm, but our livestock also ensure that we can offer our guests and customers a wide range of culinary delights. For example, the creamy-white cattle of the French Charolais breed graze peacefully and contentedly in our meadows alongside the hardy Aubrac cattle.
Our goats and chickens take care of the grassland. When our geese and ducks join the animal community, the idyll at LindenGut is complete. Our hens and roosters get about in their own mobile chicken coops, which we move to fresh green pastures every week. Incidentally, all our feathered friends are guarded by pygmy goats, which protect them from foxes, hawks and the like.
If you’d like to discover this idyll and experience it first-hand, we’d be delighted to invite you to find out more about our sustainability concept.
