A mixed orchard after a rain shower on the organic farm by Silva Wischeropp

I discovered these wonderfully blossoming apple trees in the beautiful East German region of Brandenburg, in a meadow dotted with fruit trees, just after a spring shower.
On my nature outing, I visited an organically managed orchard set in an idyllic rural landscape.
This fantastic natural landscape is perfect for long, relaxing walks.
This photograph was taken with my NIKON D90 camera (lens: SIGMA 18.0-70.0 mm f/3.5-4.5) in the afternoon of 7 May 2021.

The Behring organic farm is situated on the edge of Märkische Schweiz, around 40 kilometres from the centre of Berlin.
Farm manager Ralf Behring returned to his grandparents’ farm in Leuenberg in 1992 and rebuilt it. “The Bioland guidelines applied from the very beginning,” explains the farmer. “The two farmsteads, both over 120 years old, were renovated. This created a farmstead for agriculture as well as five lovely holiday apartments.”
Whether for holidays or farming – Ralf Behring and his family’s organic farm is committed to ecological, sustainable farming practices. Arable farming, sheep and fruit trees can be found here, as well as woods and meadows.
The farm’s main focus is arable farming. On the sandy soils of the Mark Brandenburg, the Behrings grow winter rye, lupins, oats, clover grass and undersown crops as part of their crop rotation. Ewes and their lambs graze outdoors all year round, helping to maintain the landscape. Lamb, sausages, as well as cereals, apples and apple juice are all produced on the farm.
