Self-sufficiency is at the heart of efforts to ensure a resilient community with reduced supply chains. The garden covers an area of approximately 3,500 square meters, with approximately 150 square meters dedicated specifically to growing vegetables outdoors. In addition, there is a 90 square meter high tunnel that makes it possible to grow food almost all year round. This diversity of farming options ensures that the community is independent of external sources of supply while maintaining a healthy diet.
In addition, the garden covers about 200 square meters, which is considered permaculture-based “Food Forest” are designed. In this area there are numerous fruit trees and bushes that not only contribute to self-sufficiency, but also promote biodiversity and create a natural habitat.
The lively group of dairy goats, bees and chickens in the garden also contribute to self-sufficiency. The dairy goats not only provide fresh dairy products, but also help improve the soil. The bees pollinate the plants in the garden, ensuring a rich harvest, while the chickens not only provide fresh eggs, but also control pests and fertilize the soil.
There is also an abundance of edible mushrooms such as porcini mushrooms, chestnut mushrooms and chanterelles along the nearby forest hiking trails. Community hiking trips are planned regularly. These natural resources not only contribute to self-sufficiency, but also provide the opportunity to connect with the surrounding nature and develop a deeper understanding of ecological relationships.
