Please note:
Unfortunately, there are currently no excursions. Due to the pandemic and the related requirements and contact restrictions, we are unable to organize visits to farms and locations of the entire value chain of egg and poultry meat production.
During the excursions, theoretically acquired knowledge is translated into practice and is discussed. By arrangement, we are also happy to take on the preparation and follow-up of the subject e.g. in class.
The following farming systems can be visited in poultry farms:
Visits can be arranged for the following businesses in the economic group:
For holiday programmes and kindergartens: For holiday programmes and kindergartens, an excursion to a modern barn for laying hens with adjoining packing station for eggs is especially interesting. Here, children learn all things to know about the egg as a food product.

The content of various core curricula offers links to an insight into modern poultry farming, meat and egg production. The acquisition of learning through regional experience is the basis of all types of schooling. The agricultural sector in the Weser-Ems region with its value-supply-chains has socio-economic characteristics.
Modern agriculture is also a focus under discussion in public and in the media, especially animal husbandry and meat production. Children and teenagers have already been confronted with the subject through the media to some extent. Not least by the fact that the interaction with and use of media information is an integral part of acquiring knowledge in class.
