Crossword puzzles, memory, language apps - no longer relevant. One meadow, 50 varieties: Anyone who remembers these names is a memory master and spelling artist at the same time. We write all variety titles correctly and in many different languages - from the Schiennägelesbirne to the Oullins Reneklode to the Peasgood Sondergleichen. And: Who can claim to know Prince Albrecht and Kaiser Wilhelm face to face?

Blossoming cherry trees, a starry sky above a large pear tree, the soft chirping of nightingales - we know the perfect location for a first date. It's hard for your sweetheart to resist the incomparable atmosphere of an orchard. And, best of all: "Romance" is guaranteed all year round here. Also in winter one or even several mistletoe branches can be found in the branches of the old apple trees. In best case, only one....

Watching series for hours, drinking beer with friends, surfing for the latest trends - yes, all of this demonstrates endurance. But it's hardly enough for a powerful application. We offer the solution: Managing an orchard offers the best qualifications to convince the future boss. Want a selection? Tenacity (over generations), frustration tolerance (think of the cider fruit prices), toughness (anyone who cuts eight trees in one day knows what we're talking about), ability to work in a team (clash of views from grandma, grandpa, mother, uncle, neighbor,...), analytical skills (where did the apple get the funny dents from?)

What does the orchard offer that the beach do not: Nice food, romantic sights and activity program for young and old directly in front of the house - all in one place. This insider tip provides the best wellness and adventure program at the best price-performance ratio, away from all the annoying other vacationers. This is how sustainable travel works: Unpack your picnic basket, grab some local orchard apple juice, invite friends to hang out and enjoy.

We like to be thrifty. Who needs an expensive membership in a gym, a Zumba class or a handball club? The best and most balanced workout for abdomen, legs and the rest of our body is offered free of charge in the orchard - all year round and without prying eyes. For example, cutting trees strengthens arm muscles, balance and coordination. Even the healthy snack in between can be achieved via an athletic exercise.

Fridays for Future? We dare to step from the street into the meadow - and have been doing so for generations. We protect the climate through concrete action without much media attention. In doing so, we reduce energy consumption (no time for mobile phones and tablets - and yes, sometimes no internet either), mainly eat vegan (apart from the worm in the apple) or regional (the roast lamb is delicious) and drive sustainably at reduced speed (the old tractor only achieves 15 miles per hour) and recycle (the branch refuse makes the best wood chips for heating).

Well, sometimes we just need a reason to have a little self-pity. The best one is provided by managing an orchard. Inveterate orchardists are well aware of the stress reduction provided by a cleansing fit of anger when looking at cider fruit prices, political ungenerousness, and the threat of new buildings. As a result, orchardists strengthen their relatives' empathic skills in addition to their own frustration tolerance. But the best thing is: We are in charge - we have the opportunity to change things. Orchard meadows offer the best playground to become active ourselves.

We know a place where tall and tiny, old and young, with and without a migration background, green and brown, veteran and newcomer come together and live together without conflict. Anyone who is now imagining a utopian futuristic world has not yet been to the orchard. Practiced integration is the daily routine here, whether among trees, cultivators, or the insect world. The orchard meadow brings together.

In times of great loneliness, we know an effective antidote: pick up a shovel, loppers or a cider jar together. Some work needs many hands. Being a lone wolf is possible (and sometimes quite pleasant), but not very realistic. Everyone gets involved: in the family, in numerous orchard associations, initiatives, among neighbors.

The best finishes: THE feeling. Every orchard hero feels it. Actually, it can't be explained, but here's an attempt: The mixture of tradition, craftsmanship, technology, nature, community, culture, seasons, colors, fruits, scents....
