Watch and Participate on Sundays
Between Bioland organic farming and corner shop
Lively and experience-orientated - the Smedtshof in Wennerstorf is no ordinary farm. A museum farm, organic agriculture with Bioland certification and work with people with disabilities - this is what our outpost stands for. Here you can experience life in the countryside as it was around 1930. The 400-year-old farm is located in the small Nordheide village of Wennerstorf near Rade, which is still characterised by agriculture today.

Behind the scenes: Agriculture & Inclusion
Inclusion and sustainability are important to us: We work with people with disabilities from Lebenshilfe Lüneburg-Harburg gGmbH on the land around the farm, in accordance with Bioland guidelines. There are currently 16 people with disabilities working on the farm under the supervision of their educational specialist.
Our Programme for children
Whether on Sundays at the “farm fun” with creative hands-on activities, all day at the “holiday adventure days”, at exciting children's birthday parties or as a school class in the “Acker-Klassenzimmer” (field classroom) - the museum farm offers children unforgettable experiences all about rural life.
The Smedshof
The Smedshof is one of the few remaining historic farm complexes in northern Lower Saxony. Almost all the buildings of a typical heath farmstead are still there: The main house, sheepfold, bakehouse, pigsty and a barn are integrated into the current organic farm.
History of the Wennerstorf museum farm
After decades of hope and trepidation, the end came for the Bock family farm in Wennerstorf in the mid-1980s. The farm and its agricultural land were sold and auctioned off. A unique testimony to the region's cultural history was threatened with decay and demolition.
