About 700 farmers supply their superior quality milk to be processed in either one of the two factories. They have been longstanding partners and suppliers of our dairy, some of them already in the 3rd or even 4thgeneration. Our catchment area covers wide areas of central Germany, from the Fichtelgebirge to the Rhoen region, from the Harz mountains to Franconia’s “Little Switzerland”. Numerous recreation areas determine our intact countryside which is crucial for optimal feed production.

They also produce milk from ecological farming or GMO-free milk, according to very strict certification standards. These qualities are collected separately and then processed into cheese specialties by Milchwerke.

My father Martin Schulz changed to ecological farming according to Bioland regulations already 30 years ago. On our farm, we have been producing milk since 1861, now in the 4th generation. Our animals are exclusively fed with local forage.

Our farm is about 200 years old and my family is operating it in the 5th generation. As of January 1, 2017 we are certified for organic milk production. We appreciate the good cooperation with Milchwerke Oberfranken, because regional marketing is dear to our hearts.

I am a farmer with heart and soul, even though the work can be stressful at times and the responsibility can be nerve-wracking, I can’t imagine a job in an office or a factory.

We jointly manage a dairy farm with 180 cows and 160 young cattle and calves. As a team, we can manage workloads much better, and together we can better complete the tasks at hand.
