Our history
In 1975, Werner Meller joined his father's business and took it over at the same time. The main crops grown were lettuce, cucumbers and asparagus. This was accompanied by arable farming.
In 1989, we concentrated on the cultivation of strawberries. The first fruits were sold through direct marketing, marking the beginning.
The "Gut Sonnenberg" farm was built in 1992. In addition to a large warehouse, accommodation was also built for our seasonal employees.
In 2008, the expansion to raspberries and blackberries was started. The production of strawberries was expanded and the storage facility was integrated.
Further expansion of our seasonal staff accommodation began in 2019. A total of four buildings were constructed and the company kitchen was expanded.
Our new production hall was built in 2023. Several cold stores and loading ramps are available in the hall to enable fast delivery and removal. A photovoltaic system was also installed.
Kaufland
Regionality
Together with Kaufland, we made an image film in 2018 to strengthen regionality.
