New enjoyment from Eldingen: farm dairy strengthens the regional economy!

A lot is happening in the rural regions of Germany - as the example of Johanna Niemann's farm dairy in Eldingen shows. This innovative initiative was launched as part of the EU LEADER funding program and focuses on regional value creation and sustainable economic strengthening. The program aims to improve the quality of life in rural areas and promote the regional economy.

The farm dairy, which is located on Apfelallee in the Celle district, impresses with its well-thought-out concept. By using a modular and scalable container solution and using waste heat from a biogas plant, not only is the milk from the Niemann dairy farm processed sustainably, but it also stimulates the regional economy. Digital technologies are cleverly combined with traditional cheese crafts, creating innovative products. These modern approaches show that it's not just about craftsmanship, but also about using contemporary technologies to work more efficiently and more environmentally consciously.

Sustainability in focus

A central concern of the farm dairy is the promotion of a circular economy. In short: wherever possible, paths are shortened and resources are conserved. The products are marketed through various regional sales outlets, such as farm shops, vending machines, weekly markets and restaurants. This not only supports basic and local supplies, but also strengthens the village structures and the local sense of community.

Direct marketing ensures that people in the region have access to high-quality, regional food and at the same time promotes identification with their homeland. This not only has a positive impact on the movement of goods, but also on tourism, which benefits from authentic, local products. This promising concept was developed in collaboration with RegioMotion Consulting GmbH, which shows how important strategic partnerships are in the region.

Applications for funding must be submitted to the respective regional management of the LAGs, who then decide on project funding.
