Hemp protein from AlpenPionier

We at AlpenPionier are convinced: Everyone should do what they do best and therefore we share the work the way everyone likes it best. For a better feeling for the visionaries behind AlpenPionier, we here have summarized a short description of us six.

Adrian Hirt grew up in the Bündnerbergdorf Tschiertschen. As a trained chemical engineer and food engineer, he returned to his roots after his apprenticeship in Canada and Jamaica in 2014. Old recipes and the relation to the origin are lost more and more, therefore he has focused more on the origin. With AlpenPionier, the driving AlpenHirt is responsible for the fact that even more people know the great hemp products and learn to love it. He is the one who keeps everyone together and always has a smile on his face - in short, he is responsible for communication and marketing.

Emanuel grew up in Maienfeld in the Bündner Herrschaft and is deeply rooted. As a gardener's son, he was born with a green thumb, and the garden and nature were already a point of food as a child. In 2014 he sparked his enthusiasm for hemp and cultivated the first fields of hemp. At AlpenPionier, Emanuel is responsible for the heart of our daily activities - hemp plants. With absolute devotion and passion, he cherishes and cares for our proteges and accompanies them from sowing to regular care until harvest, and sometimes also whispers to them to make them even better. Emanuel is our man for cultivation!

Carlo is a man of pleasure. From the shared passion for cultivation, cooking and preparing his own specialties with his parents through the education as a cook and the deepening of technology in the studies of the food engineering and further experiences in process and product development at the university and at companies. At AlpenPionier Carlo combines his enthusiasm for food with his valuable knowledge about food technology and is the tinkerer in the round. In the hours and minutes of figuring out processes and with the absolute devotion, Carlo deals with all the miracles around the hemp plant and what’s possible and therefor is our man for development.

Rebecca Clopath
Growing up on an organic farm in the Bündner town of Lohn, the Alpen cook Rebecca serves local, biological and fair products with culinary creations. Her cooking philosophy begins not only in the kitchen, but also during cultivation. It is important to the landscape, to the origin, to the producers and farmers, to bring a closed cycle to the plate. Rebecca Clopath, after her apprenticeship as a cook at Oskar Marti, has collected some years of experience in the Casino and Kursaal in Bern in the infamous Moospinte. In 2010, Rebecca won a title at the junior world championships with the Swiss cooking team. Her next stop was her executive chef for seven years in Stefan Wiesner's award-winning Rössli in Entlebuch. At AlpenPionier, Rebecca is the champion of alternative cultivation methods, the guardian of taste and the protector of rarities and old varieties. It conjures up everything that the hemp nut provides; culinary highlights with a big a smile. Rebecca is our culinary expert and producer of the hemp cookbook.
