Old fruit varieties in focus

The Old Orchard is not only a place for delicious products, but also an important place for the preservation of old fruit varieties. Old varieties have proven themselves over centuries and are often better tolerated than the popular supermarket varieties. They contain valuable polyphenols, which not only increase enjoyment but also promote tolerance. bund-bawue.de highlights that ...

Among the old varieties there are specific species that have been bred for different purposes, be it for consumption or the production of must. The diversity and creativity are reflected in the many attractive names that have a long tradition. These species are not only a culinary highlight, but also contribute to the preservation of biological diversity, which is so important for sustainable agriculture.

School and daycare visits are already fully booked for the coming months, but new offers will be available from May 2026. Those interested can also find out about the upcoming harvest helper dates in the fall, which will be announced in good time.

The apple jelly from the Alte Obstwiese is also very popular and is part of the #Neumünsterbox, which is available for €29.50. If you want to experience the diversity and taste of the old orchard, the harvest festival is the best opportunity to do so.
