Solawi Stralsund
Hello, we are Katy and Ingo and we run a farm with approx. 1 hectare of land according to the idea of “Community Supported Agriculture” (CSA) in the market garden system. We are currently in our fourth year of cultivation and want to supply 65 households with fruit and vegetables. We, Katy and Ingo, grow many different seasonal vegetables and fruit varieties and live with our three children (aged 8, 6 and 4) and our animals (dogs, cats, chickens) on our small farm with 1.25 hectares of arable land. It is located in the village of Duvendiek not far from the island of Rügen and the Baltic Sea beach (approx. 30 minutes to the Baltic Sea and 10 minutes to the Bodden). Anyone who loves peace and quiet, likes gardening and can also get stuck in is cordially invited to drop by.
How does a Solawi actually work?
The concept is quite simple: a farm or market garden supplies a group of people in the local area with food. In return, the group provides the necessary resources for food production. Everyone involved shares the harvest and the responsibility. A farm regularly supplies a fixed group of consumers with food.
Consumers sign a contract for a marketing year and pay a monthly contribution. Consumers can take part in work assignments or crop planning, for example.
Although it is quite in our village, there are often lots of interesting people around the farm for hands-on days and harvest pick-ups.
We look forward to receiving your application
Katy and Ingo

Hola, nosotros tenemos pequeña Granja Orgánica de 1ha con la idea de una Agricultura Solidaria (SoLawi). Nosotros nos encontramos en nuestro cuarto año, actualmente tenemos 52 Familias que una vez a la semana reciben verduras y frutas de temporada. Este año queremos lograr llegar a las 65 Familias interesadas en nuestro cultivos.
Nosotros sembramos diferente tipos de verduras como también frutas, en nuestro campo viven diversos animales como gallinas, perros, gatos entre otros. Nos encontramos cerca de la isla Rügen y cerca del Mar Báltico a unos 30 min y 10 min del lago en auto. Si estás interesado (a) en colaborarnos en nuestros campo o quizás tienes conocimientos de jardinería sería de mucha ayuda. Podemos también tocar un poco de musica con nuestros Djembes. Tenemos dos pequeños y una pequeña así que si no tienes miedo estás muy bienvenido a nuestra granja. Aquí no existe un día aburrido, siempre hay algo para hacer.
Saludos
Katy & Ingo
