A group of people stand concentrated and curious in a green field. They listen attentively to the explanations of a man holding something in his hands. The atmosphere is calm and tense, characterised by interest and communal learning in nature.
Against a picturesque backdrop of rolling hills and a soft, pastel-coloured sunset, a cow stands quietly in the pasture. A bare tree towers into the sky, reinforcing the peaceful, almost meditative mood. The scene conveys a deep sense of calm and connection with nature as the day gently fades into night. The stillness and the harmonious interplay of animal and landscape allow the viewer to experience a moment of contemplation.

“Bern ist Bio” (“Bern is organic”) is part of the initiative “Berner Bio-Offensive 2025”, which puts organic products from Bern centre stage and promotes their appreciation and added value. The aim is to offer more regional organic products from farm to table, from the farmer to the consumer.

Workshops at five organic farms

Where are the organic carrots at the supermarket from? How do you make sourdough bread? And which useful properties does stinging nettle have? The varied team events on five organic farms in the canton of Bern provide the answers to these questions. Here are your options for active, educational and interesting experiences.

The picture shows a bird's eye view of an idyllic farm nestled in gently rolling green hills. The buildings are harmoniously grouped around the central courtyard area, surrounded by trees and fields. The scene radiates peace and rural security, a place where time seems to pass more slowly. It conveys a sense of connection with nature and a return to the simple, fulfilling life in the countryside. The warm colours of the setting sun enhance the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Help out on the fields

Harvest your own veggies for “Znacht” (dinner) – and try to resist the temptation of taking a bite! But the family-run Hübeli organic farm in Kallnach doesn’t just grow vegetables, one of its specialities is actually its oat milk.

In the picture, two people in colourful rainwear are working in a wet field. They are digging with determination and care in the dark earth, despite the gloomy weather. The scene radiates community spirit and a deep connection with nature.

Bake bread in a rustic wood-fired oven

At the König organic farm in Oberbottigen, you will gain insight into the art of baking and form your own sourdough loaf, which is then baked in a traditional wood-fired oven. Ready for some breaducation?

The picture shows several people kneading dough together. Their hands are working with concentration, while the surroundings are dominated by flour and bowls on a wooden table. The scene conveys a sense of community, craftsmanship and the joy of creation. It is a calm, almost meditative atmosphere in which the art of baking bread is cultivated, united by a passion for traditional craftsmanship and good food.

Make your own butter

Churn your own butter and take a look behind the scenes of the Sinnpathie organic farm high above Thun.

The picture shows a piece of butter that has been lovingly decorated with a flower, presumably with a knife or spoon. Next to it is an old spoon and part of an antique utensil. The scene looks rustic and nostalgic, conveying a warm and handmade atmosphere. It is a reminder of the skill and care that goes into traditional craftsmanship and evokes a sense of appreciation for the simple but beautiful things in life.

Dive into the world of wild herbs

In a valley in Eriz near Thun, participants explore the world of wild herbs and learn fascinating facts about common plants such as stinging nettle at the herb manufactory.

In the picture, bright blue cornflowers rise gracefully from a green, blurred meadow. The soft colours and soft light create a peaceful, almost dreamy atmosphere that focuses on the delicate beauty of nature.

Sustainable meat consumption – is it possible?

On the Bio Held farm, you will be taught all about modern organic meat production and then make your own burger patties for the BBQ.

The picture shows a peaceful scene in a green meadow: Two calves stand close together and drink from their mother, a calm cow. The gentle nature and the close bond between the animals convey warmth and security.
