The Öko Agrar GmbH Unteres Oder­tal is a whol­ly-owned sub­sidiary of Nation­al Park Foun­da­tion was found­ed in the Low­er Oder Val­ley. In it Nation­al Park Asso­ci­a­tion and the Nation­al Park Foun­da­tion con­cen­trate their pre­vi­ous agri­cul­tur­al activities.

The aim is to com­bine eco­log­i­cal agri­cul­ture with the con­cerns of nature con­ser­va­tion and at the same time to work eco­nom­i­cal­ly suc­cess­ful and prof­it-ori­ent­ed. The aim is to prove that organ­ic farm­ing, espe­cial­ly suck­ler cow hus­bandry, does not have to be in con­flict with suc­cess­ful farm­ing. We hope that this will serve as a role mod­el for neigh­bor­ing fam­i­ly businesses.

That is why young entre­pre­neurs, espe­cial­ly fam­i­ly busi­ness­es, are sup­port­ed by finan­cial­ly favor­able lease con­di­tions and oth­er help with their set­tle­ment in the Low­er Oder Val­ley. Such start-ups have already been suc­cess­ful in two cas­es. The aim is to locate fur­ther organ­ic farms in the region and thus to anchor jobs and added val­ue in a region that is oth­er­wise threat­ened by aging and migration.

Öko Agrar GmbH looks after around 100 so-called Heck cat­tle, back­bred aurochs, in the dry pold­er near Lunow and Stolzen­hagen, as well Konik hors­es and Exmoor ponies. In the Friedrich­sthaler (5/6) and Fid­di­chow­er (10) pold­er, almost 100 Water buf­fa­lo super­vised by Öko Agrar GmbH. The ani­mals spend their entire lives on the pas­ture, are born there and also slaugh­tered with a tar­get­ed shot and pain-free and stress-free. They almost nev­er see a vet or med­ica­tion, and they only eat grass and water. Con­cen­trat­ed feed is not fed. The high-qual­i­ty, healthy meat and sausages can be pur­chased from Öko Agrar GmbH.
