Organic fresh vegetables from Switzerland.

Rathgeb Bio grows fresh vegetables such as leaf lettuces, spinach, broccoli and cauliflower in the open field around Unterstammheim. We harvest many crops fresh every day.

Our fresh vegetables have been growing in the open field since 1995.

Fresh vegetables are an important part of our range. And one that takes an enormous amount of work: leaf lettuces and spinach have to come in from the field every day so that they reach the customer in the best quality. That sometimes makes for hectic times.

That is why we deliberately harvest leafy vegetables in the cool morning hours – and often deliver them the same day. In winter the greenhouse takes over. It is not heated, only kept frost-free. That is perfectly sufficient for lamb’s lettuce.
