Our mission
We have been working on developing the forest as a food source since 2019.
We are Waldgold
Waldgold was founded in 2019 by Sven Brummerloh and Johannes Frankenfeld. Our goal is to develop the forest as a sustainable food source. For this we use technology-based harvesting software in order to be able to manage the forest particularly gently.
> 1.8 million hectares of forest
Area from which we harvest
> 100 tons of forest fruit
Harvested since 2019
12,000 years of culture - produced in a modern way
Our unique oils and pestos are made from wild-collected forest fruit. During processing, we make sure to keep the products as natural as possible.
This is how the ripe fruit is found:
With the help of drone images and our forecasting software, we know where the best harvesting areas are. In this way we can harvest the fruits particularly gently and use the forest economically for food production for the first time in over a century.
This is how the ripe fruit is harvested:
We lay nets in the forest onto which the beechnuts fall as soon as they are ripe. We then collect these nets and then separate the harvested mass from branches, leaves and other by-products of the harvest.
This is how the end products are produced:
Our "raw material" is then individually processed and, for example, peeled and roasted. During further processing, we place great emphasis on preserving the nutrients.
