Wilmars Gaerten is a holistically designed agricultural landscape 40 km south of Berlin.

Since 2017, we have been working to regenerate severely depleted land and transform it into a resilient ecosystem capable of producing food for many generations to come. Our approach integrates multiple forms of regenerative organic agriculture to cultivate landscapes that nourish human wellbeing while supporting the flourishing of all other species that share this place with us.

We aim to show that many of the challenges of our time can be met when we follow the principles of nature. In Wilmars Gaerten, we bring together agroforestry systems, holistic grazing management, market gardening, and no-till arable farming to create an edible landscape of the future — one that is circular, resilient, nutrient-dense, and grounded in the health of soil and water.

For us, regenerative agriculture means more than protecting resources. It means actively rebuilding them: restoring water cycles, recharging groundwater, strengthening biodiversity, building soil, and increasing the land’s overall capacity to support life. Our principle is simple: after producing food, we want to leave every place more fertile than it was before.

This work is deeply collaborative — with farmers, with communities, schools, universities and with the living systems themselves. We work for mutual benefit, for closed-loop cycles, and for landscapes that can withstand the ecological pressures ahead.

Wilmars Gaerten is also an invitation to remember that humans are not only capable of extraction and destruction. We can and should be be agents of restoration. We can participate in the healing of land and in the renewal of ecological relationships. By tending to soil, water, and biodiversity, we cultivate conditions for biocomplexity — conditions in which all life can thrive.

We see ourselves as part of a larger web of life in which everything is interconnected. And if we want a future on this planet, we must understand that human wellbeing is inseparable from the wellbeing of our ecosystems.

Our intention is to contribute to a shift in how we live, grow food, and relate to the natural world — to plant seeds of restoration that can benefit both the present and the generations to come.

Across the farm we grow an exceptional diversity of foods: vegetables, herbs, flowers, fruits, nuts, grains, and eggs. Much of this abundance comes from our agroforestry systems and arable land, but the market garden remains the central expression of our craft — a place where soil health, biodiversity, and circularity become tangible. All of our produce can be purchased at the weekly farmers’ market in Berlin or at our farm shop in Berlin-Schöneberg.

To preserve the full richness of what the land offers, we ferment, preserve, make juices, and bake bread. We want to demonstrate that a small farm on the outskirts of Berlin does not require you to compromise on anything — that you can fully step into the variety, beauty, and lushness of what a regenerating landscape provides. Our aim is simple: to grow the most nutrient-dense vegetables and crops possible, and to bring them fresh into the city for you.

We collaborate with leading restaurants in Berlin that share our mission, and throughout the summer we host farm-to-table dinners on the farm. We welcome school groups, visitors from around the world, universities, and organizations who come to learn from a working regenerative landscape.

Starting in 2026, we will launch the Wilmars Gaerten Farm School, where students can learn market gardening in depth — from foundational principles to hands-on practice — in collaboration with the Market Gardeners Institute in Canada.
