Seasonal and Regional:

Cakes or tartes made with fresh strawberries in the wintertime – not with us! A cake can only be as good as its ingredients and — fruits taste best when in season and freshly harvested. That’s why seasonality is one of our priorities. And, let’s be honest: mother nature offers a wonderful variety of fruits for every season! We do our best to source all our products from local farmers and avoid long distance transports — and that goes also for our eggs, which we obtain from local certified bio Farmers, because we value animal welfare. Let’s take a look what that means for us…
