📋 Tender Overview
The 2024 organic action weeks in Baden-Württemberg are under the motto "Baden-Württemberg is organic". Various companies from the organic farming and food industry will present themselves during the organic action weeks.
"Under the motto 'Baden-Württemberg is organic', organic farms, organic bakeries, organic breweries and many other activists from the organic farming and food industry invite you to experience regional organic with all your senses and directly on site as part of the organic action weeks . Today's opening is fittingly taking place where the later enjoyment has its origins: in the field that organic farmer Heidrun König cultivates. Whether potatoes, cabbage or lettuce - top quality in gastronomy, for example, begins with top performance in regional agriculture . With the organic action weeks, we are putting the achievements of our organic farmers as well as the butchers, bakers and restaurants who process the products in the spotlight," said State Secretary in the Ministry of Food, Rural Areas and Consumer Protection, Sabine Kurtz , on the occasion of the opening of the Organic Action Weeks 2024 in Hayingen-Ehestetten in the Reutlingen district.
As part of the organic action weeks, people in Baden-Württemberg are invited to attend the various events directly on the farms and in the companies and to enjoy the variety of products. For the Association for Organic Farming in Baden-Württemberg (AÖL) and the Demeter Association , which is celebrating 100 years of biodynamic farming in 2024, Dr. Christoph Reiber, Managing Director of Demeter Baden-Württemberg, emphasizes: "The organic action weeks offer a valuable platform to experience the commitment of our organic producers and the top quality of organic food from cultivation to enjoyment."
More and more regional organic specialties in hotels and restaurants
The organic model regions in the state are committed to ensuring that more and more regional organic specialties, for example from the Alb, such as spelt, lentils or buckwheat, are included on the menus in hotels and restaurants. The concept of "Nature makes the plate" by the restaurateur Simon Tress fits in very well here. "The fact that Simon Tress ' organic fine dining restaurant '1950' was the first organic restaurant in Europe to be awarded a red Michelin star this year is great news for the gourmet state of Baden-Württemberg . As a 'Taste the South' restaurateur and gourmet ambassador, Simon Tress and his restaurant make a decisive contribution to the good reputation of Baden-Württemberg's hosts," said a delighted State Secretary Sabine Kurtz.
"The AÖL and its partners are delighted that this year's start of the organic action weeks in the 100th anniversary year of Demeter is taking place at the 'Tress Brothers'. As biodynamic pioneers, they stand for innovation, sustainability and excellent organic star quality. In his restaurant '1950', Simon Tress conjures up a unique culinary experience for the senses from regional organic vegetables," added Dr. Reiber.
