The expansion of our freezing company will enable us to produce more efficiently, increase our flexibility and offer an even greater variety of products. With a clear focus on sustainable and carbon-neutral production, we continue to emphasise quality and environmental awareness at every stage of our supply chain.
BIO-FROST Westhof GmbH, founded in 1998, is the only German freezing facility that specializes exclusively in processing organic vegetables from certified organic farms. Recognized as an organic, Demeter and Naturland processor and in accordance with the Basic Organic Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and IFS-certified since 2006, we offer seamless batch traceability.
Our tasty and uncontaminated food is the result of environmentally friendly and resource-conserving production. Thanks to our location in one of the largest organic growing areas in Europe, the organic vegetables can be processed directly after harvesting and frozen as organic frozen vegetables, which guarantees exceptional freshness.
You can find our range of organic frozen vegetables [here].
It goes without saying that we do not use any additives in our production. These quality standards have convinced well-known manufacturers of organic food and baby food, who are among our satisfied customers.
The careful selection of our suppliers guarantees the high quality of our organic vegetables.
Our suppliers are organic farmers who are organized in producer groups, for example. Whether producer groups or farmers – all suppliers must present a valid organic certificate before we accept raw produce from them.
To ensure the greatest possible transparency and field-accurate traceability, the supplier provides us with detailed information upon delivery. We now produce the goods in batches and can assign each one to the farmer and the corresponding area.
Most of our organic vegetables come from Schleswig-Holstein, but also from other regions of Germany. We also source organic produce from other European countries in order to make our supply security less dependent on regional harvest fluctuations. Naturally, we demand the same quality standards here as from our German suppliers.
It is very special for me to work in one of the most modern freezer plants in the world, which is equipped with the latest technology on the market, is CO2-neutral and is also committed to sustainable practices.

With the construction of our new climate- and resource-friendly organic freezing company with a completely CO₂-neutral energy supply in Friedrichsgabekoog, we are not only expanding our range, but also focusing on sustainable production. Our modern facilities are powered by 100% renewable energy, which not only ensures an environmentally friendly, but also CO₂-neutral energy supply.
With an impressive production capacity of 10 tons per hour, we can ensure a continuous supply. At the same time, we offer an extensive storage capacity of 5000 tons to maintain the freshness and quality of our organic vegetable products. From now on, we not only supply in large containers, but can also produce in small packaging.
