School farm Pfitzingen

At the beginning of the 1990s, the former castle was converted into a school farm. School classes can spend several weeks there and - by working in the stable, field and kitchen - learn something about farm life and the origin of food from agricultural production. In addition, the dependence of agriculture on climate, soil, and economic and market conditions is discussed. Furthermore, the responsible handling of plants and animals in ecological relationships, food chains and material cycles is taught.
