Otte Orchard

Otte Fruit Farm is a family-run fruit farm in Hiddenhausen and is
now run by the fourth generation of the family. Since 1920, the orchard has stood for regional fruit growing,
direct sales, and the connection between agriculture, enjoyment, and community.

Various varieties of apples and pears, as well as
strawberries, cherries, and plums. The farm’s own produce is sold directly through the
farm, the farm store, the online shop, and regional partners.
For the fruit farm, it’s not just about growing good fruit: agriculture
should be an experience for visitors, and regional value creation should be made visible.
