Head to Saint Ottilien Abbey
The Catholic Rural People's Movement (KLB) in the Eichstätt Diocese is organising a study trip on September 26 and October 1, 20XX. The theme of the trip is "Experience organic farming and Abbey Ottilien."
The journey begins at the Pfänder vegetable farm in Schwabmünchen, a family-run operation that follows ecological guidelines and was awarded the Federal Prize for Organic Farming in 2019. A snack is planned at the farm during the trip. Visitors will tour the farm to learn about sustainable practices in vegetable cultivation, including crop rotation, natural pest control methods, and composting techniques.
The itinerary also includes a visit to Abbey Ottilien, though specific details about the activities or sights to be seen during the trip are not available. The abbey, known for its rich history and architecture, is also involved in sustainable practices.
After the Pfänder vegetable farm, the study trip continues to an unspecified location. The trip may also include visits to additional organic farms to see varied approaches and techniques, as well as local initiatives supporting organic farming, such as marketplaces or cooperatives.
Workshops on topics like biodynamic farming, permaculture, or organic certification processes are also likely to be part of the trip. Discussions with local farmers and experts will provide valuable insights into the world of organic farming.
Cultural and community activities, such as local cuisine tastings or participating in traditional farming festivals, will offer a glimpse into the region's rich heritage. Visits to local farmers' markets or village fairs will help understand the community's role in supporting organic farming.
The trip concludes with a reflection session to discuss what participants have learned and how they can apply these insights in their own projects.
Departures for the study trip are at 6:30 AM from the festival grounds in Weißenburg and 7 AM from the festival grounds in Eichstätt. For the most accurate and up-to-date information about the itinerary, we recommend contacting the organisers directly or checking their official website or communication channels.
This study trip, organized by the Catholic Rural People's Movement, combined with the theme of "Experience organic farming and Abbey Ottilien," not only provides insight into sustainable vegetable cultivation practices at Pfänder vegetable farm but also explores the lifestyle of local communities through food-and-drink experiences like local cuisine tastings. Travel extends beyond Pfänder as the itinerary potentially includes visits to multiple organic farms, permaculture workshops, and cultural events, providing a comprehensive understanding of the organic farming movement and community in the region.
