We believe that our connection with nature is the foundation of our existence. By opening our country estates to visitors, we offer everyone the opportunity to discover nature. Moreover, we are safeguarding the connection between nature and society in the long run: connecting green. We aim to create an appropriate business climate on our country estates, making the process of producing food transparent and accessible. By thinking along sustainable lines, we encourage our food producers – the farmers – to engage in environmentally conscious innovation, thereby minimising their footprint. In total, we manage 15 estates on behalf of a.s.r.
