A Self-Sufficient Hay Milk Farm | Resilient Farms in Germany

Rather than relying on the fluctuating market price of milk, Franz Obereisenbuchner, an organic farmer from Bavaria, processes his own dairy on his farm to produce milk and cheese. We visited his farm, Alztaler Hofmolkerei, to hear more about his approaches to become more self-sustainable, from traditional cheese making to using photovoltaic system.
