Description
Field-fresh Demeter vegetables from the Allgäu region
Salanova is a relatively new multi-leaf lettuce variety that produces two to four times as many leaves. Its leaves are crisp, yet very tender and have a pleasantly mild and delicate flavour.
It can also be shredded with just one cut above the stalk - the loose leaves then simply fall into the bowl!
The Grasser Hof cooperative in Ostallgäu cultivates a wide variety of vegetables on around seven hectares of open land according to Demeter guidelines. The individual crops are planted in a different crop rotation each year. This promotes soil fertility and reduces the spread of pests. Because the use of chemical pesticides is strictly prohibited in organic-dynamic vegetable cultivation.
In order to be able to grow vegetables all year round, the Grasser Hof also has a foil greenhouse and two thermal greenhouses, which are heated in winter with the waste heat from the farm's own biogas plant. In summer, mainly tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, peppers and melons are grown there. In winter, field, winter purslane, Asian and rocket lettuce, as well as various herbs, grow here. The plants are pollinated by a specially deployed bumblebee colony.
