The compost and organic manure supplied by the exploitation also help to improve soil fertility. The projects pays attention to the most suitable crop rotation, which helps to prepare the soil and reduces the risk of disease. In 2017, the orchard was restored and one year later 800 fruit trees were planted. Flowers are also cultivated here, as well as regional fruit such as apples, pears, plums, but also strawberries and raspberries. In Bastendorf, fine vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, courgettes, tomatoes and peppers are grown on an area of around 20 thousand sqm. In Junglinster for example, outdoor vegetables are grown because of the sandy soil and customers can buy their vegetables directly on site. The two locations allow the adaptation of the vegetable cultivation to local conditions. It is important to give meaning to the work and to provide the workers with a role in society. Hence, the vegetable fields are not treated chemically and the weeds are plucked by hand.

The labour-intensive cultivation of vegetables fits perfectly with the main objective of the institution and, in addition, the employees learn how to grow healthy vegetables without chemical additives. Why all this in organic quality? Because organic agriculture creates jobs and stands for education. Regional and seasonal vegetables are grown and attempts are made to discover and fill market gaps. In addition, the workers receive social support and are offered further training and language courses. All participants are employed there for up to 2 years with a guaranteed minimum wage. The organic horticultural farm "am gaertchen", which was initiated by Forum pour l'emploi to accompany unemployed people on their way back to work realises this project with the help of the organic production of various flowers without pesticides and organic plants, as well as various types of vegetables.
