Obsthof Express Fahrt auf dem Obsthof-Matthies

• Trips & Tours

We invite you to take an adventure tour through the orchards. In the middle of nature, the “fruit farmer and boss” will personally explain to you how fruit growing is carried out in the Altes Land today.

You will drive past the apple and cherry trees to our irrigation basin and find out why frost protection irrigation is important. On frosty nights during blossom, the Alte Land turns into a breathtaking icy landscape. In the orchards, you can see how healthy fruit is produced in the Alte Land in an environmentally friendly way. From pruning and thinning to harvesting, you will learn everything about fruit growing and there will be plenty of time for questions that you have always wanted to have answered by an expert.

If it rains, you will get a glimpse into the barn with the apple sorting system and the large cold storage rooms. You will be amazed by the gentle storage process that keeps our apples crisp and fresh for almost 12 months. The lecture will take place whatever the weather.

Afterwards, our farm shop and the Glasshouse Café invite you to browse and feast. Here you will not only find our valuable refined fruits in juice, liqueurs or jams, but also many other regional products and plenty of decorations for the house and garden.
