Meaningful work, involvement, lifelong learning, trust and appreciation – these are the pillars of our sense of togetherness. As a family business, equal opportunities and quality of life are just as important to us as providing digital ways of working. We are working hard to create a better society with fundraising projects organised by our employees and our company philosophy.
It is in our nature to attach special importance to the origin of our raw ingredients. We procure them exclusively from passionate organic farmers who embrace organic or biodynamic farming methods out of conviction. Together with our partners, we therefore make a decisive and active contribution to the further development of sustainable agriculture. We know from experience that the best possible quality of raw ingredients can only be achieved through the unification of consistent organic cultivation, careful processing and strict controls at every stage of production.
Gently processed Demeter milk offers the very best conditions for exceptional milk quality. Cows on Demeter farms are fed in a species-appropriate manner and receive only green fodder, hay and some grain. The animals are given 100% organic feed, 70% of which is Demeter quality. Species-appropriate husbandry is particularly important, so the cows are kept in small herds with their horns intact as a matter of course.
Our Demeter and organic fruit comes from biodynamic and organic farmland that is particularly fertile and rich in nutrients. No synthetic chemical pesticides or insecticides are used here. All of the raw ingredients used for our organic baby jars and pouches are of the highest quality and are ideal for a balanced and varied diet.
For our grain porridges and grain porridges with milk, we use high-quality Demeter grain from biodynamic farming or grain from organic farming. Biodynamic farming promotes particularly fertile and healthy soils in the long term. During our gentle processing methods, we take meticulous care to use the whole grain.
For Demeter, species-appropriate husbandry means treating animals with respect – through smaller herds, sufficient space in stables and pens, 100% organic feed and the complete renunciation of animal hormones and growth regulators. Animal welfare is the top priority. This is why, for instance, Demeter cows are not dehorned and are left to develop as nature intended.
Biodiversity is the founding pillar of our planet. After all, the genetic diversity of plant and insect species creates natural habitats that ultimately provide us with food and drinking water and protect the climate. At Holle, we are deeply aware of how dependent we are on intact nature and how important a healthy plant and insect world is. Without pollination, there can be no fruit or vegetables and our food security is at risk. But it is not just because we benefit from biodiversity that we have a duty to protect it. Each species is unique and valuable in itself. If one becomes extinct, it is lost forever. We also want to – and must – leave a diverse environment for generations to come.
Breastfeeding is the best way to provide infants with the nutrients they need for their healthy growth and development. It also plays an integral role in forming the deep attachment between mother and baby. A healthy and balanced diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding will benefit your milk production, as well as nursing your baby from the start and at regular intervals.
If you need to supplement your baby’s breast milk diet, please consult a healthcare professional (e.g. paediatrician, midwife, parents’ counsellor, nutrition consultant). Using infant formula may have adverse effects on your milk production and on the breastfeeding process itself. If you decide not to breastfeed your baby at all, you might not be able to reverse this decision later.
Please always follow the preparation instructions on the package, as improper use and storage can lead to health problems.
Various organisations such as Stillförderung Schweiz (Breastfeeding Promotion Switzerland) provide more information about breastfeeding.
