Hochwald Foods - We are a Cooperative
The climate milk farmOn the way to a sustainable future

Everyone's talking about sustainability, environmental protection, and carbon neutrality. This is also true in the Homberg district of Mörshausen. But the Frese family isn't just talking about it; they're actively pursuing carbon reduction. Over the past three years, they've received support from Hochwald, Wagner, Nestle, and Nürtingen University as part of the NetZero project. A visit to the farm provides a firsthand experience of the growth and transformation.
