Organic tomatoes, cucumbers and aubergines.

Rathgeb Bio grows fruiting vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and aubergines in its own organic greenhouses – in Unterstammheim, Tägerwilen and Ellikon an der Thur.

Our organic vegetables have also been growing under glass since 1997.

And always in natural soil, never in soil-free hors-sol systems. We do not heat in winter: organic greenhouses may only be kept frost-free. Together with the Energy Agency of the Swiss Private Sector (EnAW), we keep energy consumption as low as possible.

Predatory mites and parasitic wasps help us against pests, and bumblebees with pollination. Pest control the organic way. And because tomatoes only develop their full aroma above 16 °C, they also travel to the customer at a suitable temperature.
