Producers

Being a producer is not a job, it's a task. You think in generations. We are proud of our producers from the Seeland and Bernese Mittelland, who produce and deliver high quality products according to "Suisse Garantie" regulations.

 

The Bernese Seeland is considered Switzerland's real vegetable garden. More than 500 vegetable farmers grow about one fifth of Switzerland's vegetables here on fertile soils. One of them is Philipp Brunner, who is the third generation of his family to run an agricultural and vegetable farm in Golaten, a community near Kerzers and the confluence of the Saane and Aare rivers.
