About the offer

in the Applefram Dreier


Transformed from an apple grandmother into a fruit farm in the 1960s, the farm has been an organic farm since 1989.
Get to know the thoughts and approaches of the Dreier family, not only spatially in the middle of the orchard, but also in terms of philosophy.
On a tour, you will see the "neat and tidy" conditions that our beneficial insects love and meet the four-legged landscape gardeners.
After learning all about organic fruit growing, you can relax with a tasting of our own juices.

About us story

Bought in 1960 by the grandmother of three, the former cattle farm was quickly converted into a fruit-growing business. In the course of modernization, the half-stem trees that were common at the time were switched to spindle trees. Another adjustment was the change in the variety composition to more organic and tastier varieties.

Our business today We pay particular attention to the right harvest maturity, because we would not eat an unripe apple ourselves. However, this requires several picking passes and thus also makes the harvest considerably more expensive. Since the trade does not reward this, we would like to market more ourselves and, above all, stay in the region. You are welcome to buy fruit and juices from us by telephone agreement. In addition, we have been offering guided tours for school classes for a few years.

We are also planning to keep chickens in mobile coops in the orchard - not only for the fresh eggs, but also to make it easier to get rid of the codling moth. With all our donkeys, goats, geese, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, we are almost back to the cattle business that the family started over 50 years ago...
