Kleine Feldwirtschaft Landsberg is a certified organic CSA farm near Halle, Saale, operating according to ecological principles while minimizing disruption to natural ecosystems, preserving soil fertility, and protecting biodiversity. The collective farm is operated by five gardeners whose salaries are funded through member contributions, emphasizing fair compensation without self-exploitation. They cultivate over 40 varieties of vegetables and diverse herbs using seed-saving and genetically unmodified varieties. Members receive freshly harvested, unpackaged vegetables delivered within hours of harvest, minimizing transportation distances and waste. The CSA is planning to integrate a syntropical agroforestry area of perennial plants and trees into the model. The site for this new branch is part of a local former surface mining area.
Project story
Since 2018, our small team has been building community-based organic farming from the ground up—entirely community-funded and community-driven. Across the city of Halle (Saale) and Saalekreis district, we grow nutritious food, distribute it locally, and pursue the way of a real bond of solidarity between rural area and the city, between producers and consumers. Our practices seek to nurture both the Earth and the community arround us.
In a time of troubling political shifts, our work feels more vital than ever. We're expanding our mission to deepen our roots in the community and strengthen our commitment to sustainable stewardship of the land. Every harvest represents more than food—it's a statement about the world we want to build together.
We believe that local, organic farming can transform how communities thrive. By scaling our impact and integrating more regenerative practices like agroforestry we can reach more families, create meaningful jobs, and prove that another way is possible. Join us in growing something beautiful.
