Organic only

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.

MORE TRANSPARENCY FOR THE BEST ORGANIC QUALITY

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.

At Westhof, we focus on sustainable organic farming to guarantee the best quality. Our range includes organic vegetables such as broccoli and other cabbage varieties, which are known for their excellent taste and freshness.
Our innovative and sustainable frozen food production includes a wide range of frozen organic vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, spinach, and cauliflower. We use resource-saving methods to ensure the highest quality and freshness in every product.

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.
