Cheers, Oberland Bioweiderind GmbH!
The Weyarn-based company was recognized at the Nuremberg “Biofach”, the world’s leading trade fair for organic food – as one of ten organic companies in Bavaria.
District - As the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Tourism reports, the award took place as part of the “30 for 30” initiative, which aims to achieve an organic share of 30 percent in Bavarian agriculture by 2030 .
Organic farms that advance organic regional nutrition in an outstanding way with their modern and innovative concepts will be identified in a six-round competition.
Oberland Bioweiderind impressed with the establishment of a value chain for organic, regional pasture-raised beef.
“We founded Oberland Bioweiderind with a few colleagues in order to build a new organic value chain, especially in out-of-home catering,” says Olaf Fries, managing director of the GmbH.
“It is a great honor for us to be recognized as a flagship project of the 30 for 30 initiative.” The Bavarian organic seal is a premium seal that you can rely on one hundred percent and that, in addition to high quality criteria, also includes regionality.
“If we succeed in selling organic pasture-raised meat in the out-of-home catering in the Munich metropolitan region, many small farms in the Oberland that would otherwise give up will have the chance to raise calves from organic dairy farming,” says Fries.
In addition to Oberland Bioweiderind, the organic Wiesnhendl producer Pichler from Geretsried in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, an organic hop farmer from the Erlangen district, the manufacturer of a salad topping made from local oilseeds from the Swabian district of Aichach-Friedberg and other organic businesses were also honored .
“The diversity of the winning companies shows the innovative strength of the Bavarian organic food industry,” says the State Ministry.
