Mucherwiese Bio- und Kulturhof

Bad Honnef, Siebengebirge, Germany

A large garden with colorful flowers, beautiful trees, bleating sheep and beds with fruit and vegetables straight out of a picture book. Here in the Siebengebirge between Ölberg, Wolkenburg and Drachenfels you have a lot of nature to breathe deeply in.

The Mucherwiese organic and cultural farm on the edge of the Siebengebirge was founded in 1935 by the artist Walther Kniebe. His anthroposophical thoughts and free art forced him to withdraw from the public eye as an artist at the time and so he and some like-minded people found an ideal retreat in an old hunting lodge. It became - and still is - an oasis for artistic and social exchange and organic farming on an anthroposophical basis.

Today the farm is run by a cross-generational, integrative and self-governing farm community, which is organized into a non-profit association. For guests big and small, this is a place for relaxation, inspiration and nature experiences.

The rooms (and the garden tent) are of different sizes and decorated in natural colors. The furniture is mostly made of wood and a mix of old and new. A playful chandelier meets a milking stool or a rustic wooden chest of drawers. The real luxury here is complete peace.

Because there is only forest and meadows around and at night you can even see the stars. There are lots of vegetables, flowers, herbs and fruits, species-rich biotopes with a wide variety of plants and retreats for wild animals. All processes have been thought and lived here holistically for almost ninety years.

Sustainable

ArchitectureDuring renovation and renovation measures, emphasis is placed on ecological materials - such as clay paint for the walls - and the greatest possible use and reuse.

FoodFarm products such as flower and herbal teas, flower and herb salt, honey, apple juice from old varieties and jams are offered. After individual arrangement, the tent guests can take part in the farm community's lunch. Here we mainly use freshly harvested and seasonal vegetables from our own cultivation. Leftover food ends up in the compost or is fed to the animals.

The employees are from the town or live on the farm. An integrative workplace is provided. There are also many volunteers (including student interns) on the farm throughout the year who live and work here. Residents, employees and helpers come together for lunch. The association promotes further training for its employees. There are also educational offerings in the area of ​​sustainable development; School classes can visit the sheep shearing and learn everything about bees, nature conservation, haymaking, apple harvesting and organic farming.

EnvironmentSustainability, nature and climate protection have been practiced here on the farm for generations. Due to the proximity to an ecologically managed garden in which predominantly manual work is carried out, compost farming, species-appropriate husbandry of old, rare breeds of farm animals, wetlands, orchards, and maintenance of the forest edge. The electricity comes of course from renewable energies, furniture and furnishings are from flea markets and junk shops, waste separation and composting, rainwater harvesting for irrigation in the garden, biodegradable dishwashing and cleaning agents and care products have always been in use here.
