Initiatives at Schwartauer Werke

Since 2023, more than 40 German farmers participated in a Schwartauer Werke cooperation program. Farmers who produce cherries, strawberries, and red currants for Schwartau have implemented measures such as blooming tramlines, alternating mulching, mechanical weed control, and cover crops.

Next to the adoption of regenerative practices, Schwartau is supporting partner farms in the creation and expansion of natural habitats and corridors.

Flowering stripes, meadow orchards, sandariums, deadwood piles as well as nesting aids for birds and insects were introduced.

Schwartauer Werke initiatives have been supported by the environmental NGOs Bodensee Stiftung, Global Nature Fund, and NABU Schleswig-Holstein.
