About Us & Concept

Hof Homann eG provides the organisational Framework for the Projects on our Farm – from H1 Coworking to Workshops and Events to agricultural Initiatives. It provides Structure, brings People together and makes Collaborative design possible.

We combine Down-to-Earthness with a Spirit of Optimism: a Project that grows out of the Region, but at the same time is open to new Ideas and People who want to help Shape it. Whether you are a Farmer, Freelancer or Entrepreneur – what counts for us is Commitment and Community.
