About :
Managing an organic farm and making a living from growing vegetables on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein between St. Peter-Ording and Büsum in the solitude of the marsh. Definitely a challenge. Wiebke and Jan Schütt and their three children face this adventure every day. The couple grow 20 different types of organic vegetables on more than 100 hectares of marshland. The Schütts' organic vegetables are also in demand in the region. A year of bad weather presented the Schütts with unexpected problems. In the spring, a six-week drought prevented the plants from growing, and during the main harvest season, it rained heavily for weeks. It was not until late summer that the farmers were able to harvest the crops they needed to cover their high personnel costs. 25 employees sow, plant, weed, harvest, wash and pack the vegetables with the couple all year round. They are all permanent employees and are on the Schütts' payroll all year round. Despite the bad weather, two trucks loaded with fresh organic vegetables have to roll off the farm every day at around 5 p.m. during the peak season. This is the only way the goods can reach customers all over Germany on time the next day at the latest. Farming on the west coast, regardless of whether there is drought or constant rain. ______________________________________ The farm stories on ndr.de https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendunge...
