The Lüneburg Heath is a cultural landscape that is thousands of years old. People work here who feed others with their craft and live their profession with passion. They break new ground, maintain traditions and set themselves apart from the crowd. But setbacks and turning points in their lives are also part of it. Visit to an organic farmer. He is one of the few in northern Germany who grows quinoa, a so-called pseudo-grain from South America. Will he get a good harvest or will drought and lice ruin his crop? The film team accompanies a cheesemaker at work. She only processes the untreated milk from her own Demeter-run cows to make cheese specialties. Loaf by loaf is made by hand in demanding work. A beekeeper is also shown who keeps traditional basket beekeeping alive. In woven beehives, so-called Lüneburg Stülpern, he keeps the bee colony close to nature and harvests the unique heather honey in September. They all shape the Lüneburg Heath with their work, preserve the craft, produce high-quality food and take new paths into the future. They are creating the new culinary identity of the Lüneburg Heath. ___________________________________________ Author: Benjamin Cordes Editor: Holger Ohmstädt The North Reportage https://www.ndr.de/dienordreportage Farm Stories https://www.ndr.de/hofgeschichten The North Story https://www.ndr.de/dienordstory ___________________________________________________ Our guidelines for comments: https://www.ndr.de/service/technische... #ndr #ndraufmland #landgemacht
