The Schulze Rötering farm in Ahlen is regarded as a model enterprise for sustainable circular economy and forward-looking agriculture, deeply rooted in family tradition.
The sustainability concept is based on three key pillars:
1. Radical regionality: ‘From field to plate’
Short transport distances actively reduce CO₂ emissions:
Farm-grown raw materials: No alcohol is purchased for the award-winning distillery. The wheat is harvested from the farm’s own fields and distilled directly on site.
Closed-loop systems: The grain is ground into flour and processed in the farm’s own bakery into baked goods for the farm shop.
Freshness guarantee: Seasonal favourites such as asparagus and strawberries go straight from the field to the farm shop or directly into the kitchen of the country inn.
Local networks: Partnerships such as the digital village shop box bring together produce from other growers, saving customers the need for extra shopping trips.
2. Self-sufficient energy supply
To minimise its ecological footprint, the farm relies on renewable energy:
Photovoltaics: Solar panels on farm buildings cover the majority of the electricity required for production, catering and the distillery.
Wind power: Energy generation is being expanded with a forward-looking focus on wind power.
Sustainable timber: The firewood comes from the farm’s own sustainably managed woodlands.
3. A future for generations
Suitability for future generations: The fact that three children are managing the business across arable farming, the distillery, the farm shop and the catering operations ensures a long-term succession.
Climate adaptation: In arable farming, work is continuously being carried out on environmentally friendly methods to keep the soil healthy, even during heatwaves.
The NRW Minister for Agriculture praised the farm for the exemplary way in which it embodies “regional production, artisanal processing and direct marketing”.
