The Icken family keeps around 200 pigs on their farm according to organic and Naturland guidelines. The animals don't mind the cold, only the piglets need special care in the first few days of their lives. Farmer Matthias Icken looks after them lovingly. His eleven-year-old son Julius accompanies him at work as often as possible and is already an enthusiastic young farmer: driving a tractor is in his blood. Matthias' wife Wiebke, meanwhile, has the house and farm under control. Together with her mother, she cooks the traditional North German dish Speck und Klüten, the favorite dish of the large family with a total of four children. But the country woman also has a knack for decorative things: she shows her daughter Lena an old painting technique and rolls a pretty flower motif onto the wall with a textured roller. Wiebke Icken likes winter decorations especially when they are made of natural materials. Together with two friends, she weaves balls out of freshly cut willow branches - real eye-catchers on cold winter days. The thatched Gulfhof belonging to the Janssen family in Moormerland in East Frisia is a special idyll. The farm complex, which dates back to 1820, is a listed building. The Gulf frame with an outhouse and bakery was made from crooked oak trunks from the area. Even the trees are 200 years old. Dairy farmer Hinrich Janssen is proud of his home. He takes care of maintaining the gable roof of the house himself using thatch he has grown himself. His wife Almut is a country woman and passionate cook. She is experienced in preserving beetroot and shares tips for success. Her favorite East Frisian specialty is Snirtjebraten. Almut prepares fresh red cabbage and Rote Laura potatoes to go with it. At teatime, the Janssens must have an original East Frisian tea cake - tradition is lived every day in Moormerland. Also on "My Beautiful Land TV" in February: the crafting friends Martina Schröder and Marion Vogel make small cardboard boxes as gift packaging that can be given as a gift for a special occasion or to a special person. An amber polisher gives tips on how to discover fossil resin on the beach and transforms one of his finds in the workshop into a shiny, unique piece of jewelry. Wolf Schröppe gives insights into the millennia-old tradition of bronze casting in Lower Saxony. He casts an artistic candlestick. And: In the snow-covered garden, Ole Beeker shows what to look out for when pruning fruit trees, while his wife Silke shapes natural bowls from clay and plants them beautifully. "Preserve what is good, discover what is beautiful" - that's "My Beautiful Land TV". Produced by Medienkontor Movie
