Ebbes von Hei & Organic
„Organic and from here –
the perfect pair."
We want to use as many good and honest products as possible from the region in our restaurant and butcher's shop. The regional initiative „Ebbes von Hei" helps us strengthen trade networks and draw consumers' attention to their home region with its wonderful, rich diversity and quality.
What does
„Ebbes von Hei" mean?
„Ebbes von Hei" – that is Saarland dialect for „something from here". Home is often where we grew up. At the very least, it is where the people we love are, where we feel at ease and at home.
Home is also a region, a landscape, a nature we know well. Where we are familiar with the local people, their customs and qualities, where we have learned to love and cherish everything this place has to offer.
To support our home region, we want to use as many good and honest products as possible from the area – freshly prepared in the restaurant and available directly from the butcher's shop.
Our dear vegetarians and vegans will find a rich selection of tasty home-made dishes made from regional ingredients – and certainly won't go away hungry. We are happy to put together a dish to suit your taste on request.
Why Organic?
Organic farming is a sustainable and modern form of land management. It is not a luxury – it is the more cost-effective alternative, because organic is better for the climate, environment and biodiversity, avoiding high downstream costs in nature.
Soil & Diversity
Organic maintains – indeed improves – soil fertility and biodiversity. For the hardworking bee and all its relatives that sustain our natural world.
Water, Land & Climate
Organic farming protects our drinking water, conserves land and climate and saves natural resources. What was completely normal in the past is called organic today.
More Pleasure, More Good
Organic foods contain more of the good stuff: more secondary plant compounds, more unsaturated fatty acids – for a healthier, more enjoyable diet.
Fewer Additives
Fewer pesticide residues, no antibiotics in animal husbandry, no growth promoters. Pesticides and synthetic fertilisers are avoided in the fields.
„What was completely normal
in the past, is organic today."
– Wolfgang Riehm, Master Butcher from Schillingen
All the beef we use in the restaurant and butcher's shop comes from organic farming. Our ribeye steaks do not come from America – the EU-Mercosur agreement endangers the Amazon rainforest, human rights, health and the climate. Our commitment: short supply chains, known origins, fair conditions.
