En Steck Eefel fer Desch - The fruit tree sponsorship

Who is actually behind the Eifel Barn Café?
That's Leo Lenerz from Gillenfeld, who, in addition to tending his meadow orchards, also runs a café in the Maarort Gillenfeld, together with his wife. His family history made him a fruit grower: his father already planted the apple trees and involved Leo in tending, harvesting and pressing at a young age. He only grows old apple varieties and fruit trees that are adapted to our climate. In addition, in the future, more fruit trees will be planted that can better cope with drought.

Which apples he likes best, which apple varieties grow on his orchards and his tips for the preservation of species and plant diversity you can read in the interview with Leo Lenerz on our blog.

Founded over a hundred years ago as a typical arable farm with livestock, the Litzbachhof switched to fruit growing in the Eifel in the 1990s.
Today, the fourth-generation family business grows apples and sour cherries as well as the local superfruits chokeberry and elderberry. Quinces will soon enrich the assortment. The cultivation takes place according to strict guidelines of the ecological agriculture (Demeter).
This results in high-quality natural products such as direct juices in the elderberry, chokeberry, apple and apple-cherry varieties, as well as delicacies in the form of fruit spreads, syrups and sparkling secco.
Bringing agriculture into harmony with nature is what distinguishes the Litzbachhof: The responsible use of natural resources is paramount.
