What is this project all about?
Welcome to the Hof vErde farm - together for a regenerative future!
Not only healthy fruit and vegetables grow here, but also our vision of regenerative agriculture. As a passionate organic farm, we use syntropic agroforestry to create living ecosystems that produce in abundance with the help of natural succession while storing water.
Unfortunately, the current laws and subsidies are geared in favor of large farms. So that we can continue to grow nutritious food in times of changing climate, a systemic rethinking of agricultural production and politics is needed. It also needs people who drive and support these projects. As a friend of our farm community, you can actively contribute to this.
In recent years, we have tested various regenerative cultivation methods on the farm with experts from all over the world and created a wide variety of agroforestry systems for the production of vegetables, fruits and nuts. In addition to the production of nutritious food, healthy soil and habitat for many species are actively built and this knowledge is shared with others. In addition, we have networked nationally and internationally by participating in various training courses and agricultural conferences, which has enabled us to expand our reach.
Help us to realize our vision! Donate today and become part of our mission.
Thank you for your valuable support!

What is the project goal and who is the project for?
Aims of the project
- sustainable, resilient cultivation of food
- simultaneous regeneration of ecosystems
- a place of learning that enables the transfer of knowledge about syntropy, among other things
The target group are...
...all people who want to be part of the solution for a sustainable world with us.
Why would you support this project?
As pioneers in the necessary agricultural turnaround, we want to use sustainable methods and pass this on to other people, so that we and you are part of the solution and not the problem in times of advancing climate change.
Only together can we take a resilient path to an ecologically, economically and socially stable future!
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
Your donation enables us to further develop sustainable practices and introduce new technologies. With your help, we can grow even more variety and provide local communities with fresh, healthy and delicious produce. In addition, you support the development of our natural resources and create habitat for many species of flora and fauna. Through our farm tours and educational offers, we promote ecological awareness. Together we can bring about positive change. Every euro counts and brings us closer to our goal of sustainable agriculture. Support the Hof vErde farm and become part of our mission of regenerative, community-based food production.
Who are the people behind the project?
The team from the community farm Hof vErde
The core consists of Lilly, Cori and Georg, with many people being part of the project for longer or shorter periods of time. In addition to people from the region who spend their weekends or after work here, there are always volunteers from all over the world.
About the people:
Lilly: Our cosmopolitan Lilly has already traveled to many parts of the world, made international friends and discovered many cultures for herself. After successfully completing her studies in social economics in Nuremberg, she finally decided to follow her own roots. So she moved to Kleinsendelbach to her grandparents' farmhouse. In every phase of her life, Lilly showed pedagogical commitment, whether as a scout leader, lecturer or guitar teacher. She would like to use the planned premises on the farm to create a place of learning for young and old - on topics such as environmental education, sustainable consumption and agriculture. In addition to her musical talent, Lilly enriches us as an organizational artist. Despite all the diverse challenges, she is the one who always keeps an overview - not least because of her size.
Cori: As a qualified geographer and enthusiastic globetrotter, Cori is the driving force behind the permaculture approach. In addition, she benefits from the wide range of experiences she has gained as a voluntary »workawayer« all over the world. For her bachelor thesis she did research on environmental education and plans – building on her experience as a former girl scout – to live out her passion for environmental education in future projects on the farm. In addition to her work at the community farm, she is training to become a naturopath.
Georg: For Lilly's father Georg, the farm manifests part of his family history. He knows the farm and the country that belongs to it like the back of his hand. He is particularly adept at using simple means to solve complicated problems in innovative ways. Georg is our technical expert and is the only one who knows the tractors and small machines on our farm that have been passed down through the generations, which are probably still usable as old relics from earlier real divisions thanks to his specialist knowledge. In his free time, Georg volunteers for local and national clubs and is a passionate bowler.

Why does this project contribute to this goal?
Im Zuge des sich verschärfenden Klimawandels möchten wir das vielfältige Potential der Landwirtschaft nutzen, indem wir ein resilientes System erschaffen, welches eine nahrhafte Fülle an Lebensmitteln produziert und gleichzeitig Ökosysteme regeneriert.
Da es nicht auf Input von außen angewiesen ist, befähigt es vor allem weniger Privilegierte, sich und andere zu ernähren und zur Ökosystemregeneration beizutragen, was wir durch das syntropische Bildungszentrum vorantreiben möchten.
Wir sind nicht die Intelligenten des Systems, sondern Teil eines intelligenten Systems. - Ernst Götsch
