Farmers Circle is initiated with the wish of feeding the world with better, healthier, and more tasty products from farm and nature.
In addition to the usual vegetable fields and grazing cattle, there is a conference center, restaurant, hotel, newly equipped nature trails and terraces with outdoor fireplaces.
The main architectural and urban challenges were to find a harmonious relationship between rural nature, cultured landscape, old farm buildings, modern architecture and everyday farming.
