It doesn't matter whether a "Stückle" is sold, bought, leased or individual trees can be harvested. The offer is as varied as the plots themselves - a piece of cultivated landscape.
Autumn is approaching and the first apples and pears in the region are ripe. With over 200,000 fruit trees, the district of Ludwigsburg is still a stronghold of orchard cultivation. "Unfortunately, some owners can no longer afford to look after their orchards and the harvest remains unused," says fruit-growing consultant Theresia Hüttner-Münst. At the same time, however, it can be observed that more people - including many young people - are developing an increasing interest in fruit growing. The demand for orchards to lease or buy is fortunately increasing again - and with it the demand for orchards to harvest yourself.
For owners of orchard meadows who would like to make their trees available for harvesting and for interested parties who would like to harvest fruit, the orchard meadow exchange in the district of Ludwigsburg is now the quick and easy way to get in touch with each other. Where you would normally find people looking to buy or lease or offering orchards and orchard meadows, tree owners and fruit seekers can quickly find each other at harvest time.
Private individuals or associations can advertise free of charge at www.landkreis-ludwigsburg.streuobstwiesen-boerse.de. They can describe exactly what fruit they are offering or looking for. A form is filled out online on the website. After a check by the exchange operator, the advertisement is activated for 100 days.
