Our Certificates

Certificates are not everything, but everything is nothing without them!

EU Organic

The EU Regulations on organic production 834/2007 and 889/2008, are the basis for all farmers, processors and distributors of organic products. They define the guidelines for the production, processing and trade, and hence protect the terms “organic” and “eco” for food and feed throughout the entire European Union, Regular – including unannounced – checks at all levels guarantee the organic standard.

Naturland

Biopark

The organic farming association “Biopark e.V.” was founded in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in 1991 and stands for certified organic farming without compromises. The guidelines require a total farm conversion, outdoor access, grazing as well as the farm’s own feed. No animals are kept in tethers on Biopark farms. Through animal welfare checks, each farm is controlled annually. Both, the feed for the animals, and all Biopark products contain almost exclusively local Biopark raw materials. There is no “recertification” of raw materials.
